Workshop calendar
Plan the day by technician and ramp. Drag jobs between slots, see who is unassigned and keep the week visible from reception.
01Garage management software
The workshop system built around the job card.
GarageHQ brings bookings, health checks, MOT reminders, invoices and parts into one system, so your service desk stops retyping and your technicians stay on the tools.
- Built for UK independents and groups
- Free data migration
- Monthly plans, no setup fee
02How a job moves
From booking to collection on one record.
Every stage updates the same job card. Reception, the workshop and accounts see the same status, the same approvals and the same totals.
- 01
Book
Online, by phone or at the desk. The registration fills in the vehicle and MOT date.
- 02
Inspect
Technicians record the health check with photos on a tablet.
- 03
Approve
The customer approves work from a link. Declined items are saved for later.
- 04
Invoice
The job card becomes a VAT invoice. Take payment and sync to accounts.
03Features
What a busy workshop needs, without the bolt-ons.
Health checks, reminders, online booking and payments are part of the product, not separate subscriptions with separate logins.
Digital job cards
One job card from booking to collection: vehicle, customer, work requested, labour, parts, notes and approval history.
Vehicle health checks
Technicians record urgent, advisory and passed items with photos and video on a tablet. Customers approve work from their phone.
Customers and vehicles
Look up a registration and see the vehicle, its owner, MOT status and full service history before the customer reaches the desk.
MOT and service reminders
Automatic SMS and email reminders for MOT and service due dates, with overdue vehicles listed for a phone call.
Quotes, invoices and payments
Turn an approved quote into an invoice in one step. Take card payments at the counter or send a pay-by-link.
Parts and stock
Search supplier catalogues by registration, order from the job card and track what is on the shelf.
Online booking
Let customers book an MOT or service from your website. Bookings land in the calendar with the vehicle already looked up.
Reporting and branches
Labour efficiency, sales, parts margin and approval rates across one site or a group, with branch-level access control.
04Vehicle health checks
Show the customer the worn pads, not just the price.
Technicians record each item as urgent, advisory or passed with photos and video. The customer gets a link, approves what they want done, and approved work lands on the job card.
- Templates for MOT pre-checks, services and seasonal checks
- Approvals recorded with time and amount
- Declined work saved and followed up automatically
05MOT and service reminders
Fill next month’s diary while you work on this one.
GarageHQ checks MOT due dates against DVSA records and sends SMS and email reminders on the schedule you set. Overdue vehicles are listed for a phone call, not lost in a report.
- Overdue and due-soon dates labelled, not just coloured
- Customers book straight from the reminder
- Missing MOT dates flagged instead of guessed
