For owners off the tools, or on the way there

Garage management system for busy independent UK garages

One system the whole garage runs on. Bookings, job cards, parts, approvals and invoices move through the front desk without asking you, the reminders go out by themselves, and what each job made reaches you at home or on holiday. Built for the owner running the garage as a business, with a team that runs the day.

The work chases itself.
MOTs, services and work the customer put off. GarageRevs texts the customer when it is due, in your words, and the desk sees who was reminded and who booked in. Advisories come back through the door without anyone chasing.
Approved from the customer's phone.
A link by text or email opens the tech's health check: notes in plain English, photos and videos. The customer approves the work and signs from their phone, so the advised work gets done this visit.
Bookings from your website, straight into the diary.
Customers book around the clock from your own site, with a deposit into your own account, no-show protection, and your say on which bookings go straight in. It lands in the diary as a job, and nobody types it in twice.
One job card, from the phone call to the invoice.
Bookings, approvals, parts, messages and the invoice on one job card. Parts land on the job with your margin on top. When a customer rings for an update, the desk answers from the screen, without going to find you or the tech.
Invoiced from the job, straight into the accounts.
The invoice is built from the job card with your branding on it, and goes to Xero or QuickBooks on its own, payments included. Nothing typed twice, and nothing waiting for the end of the month.
Know your numbers, from anywhere.
What each job made on labour and parts, the rate the garage actually got per hour, the work advised and still outstanding, and which jobs are worth more of. Worked out from your own invoices, on your phone at home or on holiday.

A garage that runs without you is a business. One that cannot is a job.

Every owner says it at some point: one day the place should run itself. Another tech on the ramps, a desk that does not need you behind it, a week away where nothing slips. GarageRevs is built for that direction, from the owner who still covers the desk on a Saturday to the one who only reads the numbers. The system stays the same. Where you stand in the garage is what changes.

Your team runs the day on it. You do not have to.

The people in the system all day are the front desk and the techs, so that is who it is built around. Bookings, approvals, parts and invoices move through the desk. The tech's health check goes out from the ramp. The customer books and approves from their phone. Nothing waits on you.

Your team is trained in person, at your own counter, on your own customers and cars. After that, support is at the end of the phone or on WhatsApp seven days a week, with most questions answered within five minutes. When the desk has a question about the system, it rings us, not you.

Who GarageRevs is for

GarageRevs is for the independent run as a business: an owner with a team on the desk and techs on the ramps, a diary that is full, and a plan to be off the tools, or already there. Not every garage is that garage. If yours is in the second list, we will say so on the demo.

This is for you if…

  • You run a busy independent with a team on the desk and techs on the ramps
  • You are off the tools, or want to be, and the garage should run properly without you in it
  • You want to know your numbers from home, not from the accountant in the spring
  • You are on TechMan, MAM, GDS or Garage Hive with years of history in it, and the move is the bit that puts you off

Probably not for you if…

  • You want the cheapest system that does an invoice
  • You do the tools, the desk and the books yourself, and want to keep it that way
  • You want a diary with an invoice button, and nothing more
  • You are happy with the system you have

Still comparing? Take our 5-question checklist before you sign with anyone: the real monthly cost, how long you are tied in, whether you can take your data with you, whether your team will actually use it and who trains them, and whether the Xero link can be shown working on the demo.

The price, the move and the way out, all agreed before you commit

One price a month for the whole garage, staff logins included. The move done with you inside 14 days, with the date agreed on the demo call. And if it is not right, 90 days to say so and every penny back. None of it changes after you sign, and there is no contract holding you in.

One price

For the whole garage

Same monthly price with three logins or twelve. The front desk, every tech and you at home are all on it, and taking someone on never moves the number.

14 days

All your history across, your team trained in person.

Customers, vehicles and years of history come across from your old system in one piece. The front desk and the techs are trained at your own counter, and you know the date you go live before you commit. With little to bring across, you are live in a couple of days.

90 days

Money back, then month to month.

Use it properly for 90 days, month-end and all. If it is not right for your garage, every penny back and we help you export your data. After that it is month to month, cancel any time, and no exit fee when you leave. Your data is yours the whole way through.

The right system is the one the garage can grow on

Best is not the longest feature list. It is the system the team runs the day on without you, that tells you what the day made, and that does not need replacing when you take on the next tech or open the second unit. Read the comparisons, then see it on a garage like yours.

Questions we get asked

If you run an independent as a business, with a team on the desk and techs on the ramps, and you want it to run without you standing in it, yes. If you want the cheapest system that does an invoice, or you do the tools, the desk and the books yourself, probably not, and we will say so on the demo.

See how far you could step back

Bring your labour rate and how the desk is set up, and we put a garage like yours on the screen: the desk booking a job in, the reminders going out, the report you would read at home. You leave with the date you could go live and what the move would take.
