For independent garages

Garage management software, desk to ramp.

Bookings, job cards, inspections, estimates, invoices and card payments in one system for independent garages and workshops. Every job stays on one record, from the booking to the paid invoice.

  • Prices published, 14-day trial
  • Run by an EU company
  • In seven languages

Most garages run on paper job cards and a phone

It holds together while the owner is on site. The cost shows up in the gaps: the booking only one person knew about, the extra work agreed over the phone, the hour that never made it onto the invoice.

  • Bookings sit in one diary or one phone, so nobody else can see what is coming in tomorrow
  • Job cards get retyped into invoices, and the part fitted late or the extra half hour goes missing
  • The customer said yes on the phone, and nothing is written down when they query the bill

One job, one record, from booking to paid

In GarageFlow a job card, an estimate and an invoice aren't three pieces of paper. They're one order: it starts as the estimate, becomes the repair order (your job card) when work starts, and ends as the invoice. The inspection, the customer's approval, the parts and the hours all sit on it.

How the repair order works

Made for the workshop floor

Assign a whole job, or a single line of it, to a technician. Technicians clock on to the job they are working on and the time is recorded against it, so you know who did what and for how long.

  • Assign technicians per job or per line
  • Time clocks for every technician, recorded against the job
  • Clocking on to an approved job moves it to In progress
  • Board lanes you can rename, recolour and add to

What comes with it

Worth checking before you move your jobs onto new software.

Prices on the website

Every plan is priced on the pricing page, and you can start a 14-day trial yourself. A card is needed to start it, and nothing is charged until the trial ends.

Your language and theirs

The app, the customer portal and the emails come in English, German, Spanish, Polish, Romanian, Estonian and Icelandic, and each customer can get their emails in their own language.

An EU company

GarageFlow is run by a company registered in Estonia, and a data processing agreement covers the customer data you keep in it.

Card payments built in

Customers pay online through your own Stripe account, and in Ireland and most of the EU you can take cards on a Stripe reader at the counter too.

VAT the way you quote

Show prices with VAT added on top or already included, and every document still adds up to its total.

QuickBooks sync

Invoices and payments sync to QuickBooks Online, so nobody types them into the books a second time.

Questions

Garage management software, answered

Still wondering about something? Contact us.

What is garage management software?

It is the system a garage runs its jobs on: bookings, job cards, inspections, estimates, invoices and payments, with the customer and vehicle records behind them. It replaces the diary, the paper job card and the separate invoicing program with one record per job.

Is garage management software the same as workshop management software?

Yes. Garage and workshop are two names for the same business, so garage management software, workshop management software and a workshop management system all mean the same kind of product. GarageFlow is all three.

Is GarageFlow suitable for a small independent garage?

Yes, that is who it is built for. The Basic plan covers up to two users, every price is on the pricing page, and you can sign up and set it up yourself, without a sales call.

How do I get started?

Sign up, and your garage, your account and your trial are created in one step. A short setup asks for your tax rate and hourly rate, and you start with seven ready-made inspection templates. Customers and vehicles are added as they come in; there is no bulk import from another system yet.

Which countries is GarageFlow available in?

Garages in the EU, Iceland and the United States can sign up, each working in its own currency. GarageFlow is not available to garages in the UK at the moment.

Do customers need an app to approve work?

No. The estimate goes out as one link that opens in any browser. The customer ticks the work they want and approves it, and the approval is stored on the job with the date and how it was given.

Ready to run a tighter shop?

Set up your shop in minutes and see every job, estimate, and payment in one flow. You won't be charged until the trial ends.
