Carsinthebay.Not the paperwork.
Job cards that live on a tablet, quotes approved from the customer’s phone before the spanner moves, and service reminders that bring the same cars back every year.
Photo
Approved quotes
Extra work approved in writing with images, so nobody argues about it at pickup.
Auto
Service recalls
Vehicles come back on schedule because the system remembers when the customer does not.
Live
Job status
Front desk answers where a car is up to without walking into the workshop.
The shift
Same business. Different day.
Before
Paper cards that get greasy, get lost, and hold detail nobody can read three weeks later.
After
Digital cards on a tablet with photos, notes, times and parts attached to the vehicle history permanently.
Before
A phone call the customer misses, a car sitting idle, and an awkward conversation at pickup.
After
Photos and a quote to their phone, approved with a tap and recorded. The bay keeps moving.
Before
Stock counted when someone remembers, and jobs held up because the shelf is empty.
After
Parts decrement against job cards, reorder points flag early, and stock on hand is actually true.
Before
Regulars drift to whoever reminds them first, which is usually the dealer.
After
Service intervals tracked per vehicle, reminders sent automatically, and the diary fills months ahead.
What we build
Built for the bay, the counter and the comeback.
Digital job cards
Vehicle, work, photos, times and parts on a tablet, kept against the rego forever.
Quote approvals
Extra work sent with photos, approved from the customer’s phone, recorded in writing.
Service reminders
Per-vehicle intervals tracked and reminders sent, so regulars come back to you first.
Parts & stock
Consumption tied to jobs, reorder points that flag before a bay stalls waiting on a part.
Booking & courtesy cars
Online bookings that respect bay capacity, tech skills and courtesy car availability.
Workshop dashboard
Bay utilisation, hours sold against hours available, and what is holding each car up.
Honest verdicts
The workshop stack, honestly assessed.
We build custom software, and we will still tell you when you do not need it. Keep what works, replace what fights you.
Xero or MYOB
✓ KeepAccounting stays. We push invoices across rather than pretending to be a general ledger.
Dealer management systems
~ DependsBuilt for franchise dealers with franchise budgets. Independents usually pay for a lot of module they never open, and fight the parts they need.
carsales.com.au
✓ KeepIf you sell cars, that is where buyers look. We feed listings and capture the enquiries into your own pipeline.
Paper job cards
→ ReplaceThe record of what you did to someone’s car should not be a document that can be lost, soaked or misread.
A whiteboard for the bays
~ DependsGenuinely good for the team at a glance. It just cannot tell the front desk anything, or remember what happened last Tuesday.
“Very good service, chatbot helped me gain many clients for my car sales business, very happy with results.”

Questions
Asked by every
workshop owner.
If yours is not here, it is a thirty-minute call away from answered. Free, no obligation, no pitch.
Ask it directly →01What does custom workshop software cost?+
Quoted fixed after a free call. Job cards, quoting and booking usually form the core, with parts, reminders and reporting layering on. We will tell you honestly if an off-the-shelf workshop package covers you for less. Ranges are on our blog.
02Does it work for detailers, tyre shops and mobile mechanics too?+
Yes. The shape changes but the problems are the same: jobs, quotes, photos, parts and getting customers back. Mobile operators get the whole thing on a phone with offline support for jobs in basement car parks.
03Can customers approve extra work from their phone?+
That is usually the single highest-value piece. Photos of the worn part, a clear price, one tap to approve, all recorded. Cars stop sitting idle and pickup disputes largely disappear.
04Will it talk to our accounting software?+
Yes, Xero and MYOB both. Invoices raised from job cards flow across, so nothing gets entered twice.
05Can we track service history by rego?+
Yes. Every job, photo, part and note stays attached to the vehicle, so history is one search away regardless of who owned it or which tech did the work.
06How long does it take?+
A job card and quoting core typically ships in 6 to 10 weeks. We migrate customer and vehicle records across so history is not lost in the move.
How many hours a week disappear into paperwork instead of bays?
Tell us how your business actually runs. We will scope it properly, quote it fixed, and tell you honestly if custom is not the right answer.
