What changes in the first 90 days

Everything your workshop needs, in one connected system

17 modules that all talk to each other. No bolt-ons, no per-module add-ons, no separate logins for invoicing or stock. One subscription, one login, one system that handles the whole business from booking to paid invoice.

Plus the Customise Menu setting — hide any modules you don't use, switch them back on any time.

One connected system. No bolt-ons.

Every module talks to every other. A booking in the diary creates a job card. The job card pulls parts from stock. Stock deductions flow to the invoice. The invoice settles against the customer record. Nothing is entered twice.

MOT and service reminders that fire on time, every time

Every MOT date captured on the vehicle record. Automated SMS and email reminders go out at 28, 14 and 7 days — without anyone in the workshop remembering to send them. The single biggest source of recovered repeat business.

  • Multi-stage SMS & email sequence per vehicle
  • DVSA-compliant pass / fail recording
  • Failed MOTs convert directly to repair bookings
  • Per-customer reminder history visible from the CRM record

Digital job cards with parts, labour and photos in one place

Job status moves from booked through in-progress to completed and invoiced. Technicians log time from a tablet. Parts deduct from stock as they go on the card. Photos and advisories attach for customer-facing transparency.

  • Drag-and-drop diary with bay and technician allocation
  • Live job status visible from reception
  • Estimate-to-job conversion with digital approval
  • Comeback flagging and warranty tracking built in

VAT-compliant invoices generated from the job card in one click

  • MTD-compliant VAT invoicing
  • One-tap payment links via SMS or email
  • Automated payment reminder sequence
  • Accountant export to Sage / Xero / QuickBooks formats

New — Garage Line

Never miss a booking call again. AI answers your phone 24/7.

Workshop's loud, hands are dirty, the phone keeps ringing. Garage Line gives you a real UK landline number where an AI receptionist answers around the clock — quoting prices, checking your diary and booking customers in. Completely hands-free, while you're under a bonnet.

  1. 1 Customer rings your real UK landline Choose from 30+ area codes — London 020, Manchester 0161, Birmingham 0121, Glasgow 0141, Edinburgh 0131, Liverpool 0151, Cardiff 029, and more. Real landlines, not VoIP redirects.
  2. 2 AI greets them with your custom greeting "Welcome to Smith's Garage Macclesfield — how can I help?" Your wording, your voice. Departments supported, so "Can I speak to Accounts?" routes to the right number.
  3. 3 AI quotes the price for the service Pulled from your enabled services list — MOT, full service, interim service, fault diagnostic, repairs. Set any service to £0 for "price on enquiry" if you'd rather quote yourself.
  4. 4 AI checks your diary and books the slot Finds an open ramp, confirms the date and time with the caller, and saves the booking. You don't lift a finger or even see the call come in.
  5. 5 Booking is in your diary. Summary email to you. Booking visible by the time you check the screen. New customer added to your CRM with their vehicle attached. Email summary lands with the call transcript and the action taken.
Available on any plan from £14.99/month. 2,000 inbound minutes included. Multiple departments supported. UK and US numbers available.

Straight answers, no marketing

What does it cost after the free trial?

£139/month for Starter (up to 3 staff, 250 customers), £265/month for Professional (up to 10 staff, 500 customers), or £365/month for Enterprise (unlimited). No setup costs, no per-module add-ons, no long-term contract. Monthly billing — you can cancel any time.

Is the free trial really free? Do you take card details?

The 28-day trial is genuinely free and we don't ask for card details to start. You get full access to every feature in your chosen plan. If you decide it's not for you, you simply don't sign up at the end — no charge, no chase, no awkward cancellation flow.

Am I locked into a long contract?

No. All plans are monthly billing with no minimum term. Cancel from inside the system whenever you want, with no exit fee and no notice period.

Can I import data from my current system or spreadsheets?

Yes — our UK migration team will move your customers, vehicles, MOT dates and key job history across for you. Most garages bring across 500–2,000 customer records in a single afternoon. Migration is included, not a paid extra.

How long does setup take? I haven't got days to learn software.

Most workshops are taking live bookings inside one working day. A short onboarding call covers the diary, job cards and reminders — the three things you'll use most. Everything else can be picked up as you go. Your team won't need formal training.

Is it suitable for a small 1–2 bay garage?

Yes — the Starter plan is built for exactly this size. Many one-person mobile mechanics and 1–2 bay independents use My Garage CRM to replace paper job cards, a separate invoicing tool and an MOT reminder spreadsheet. You only use the modules you need.

Where is my data stored? Is it GDPR-compliant?

All data is stored on UK-hosted cloud infrastructure, encrypted in transit and at rest. The system handles GDPR consent, data retention and customer marketing permissions automatically. You own your data and can export it at any time. We never use your business data for any third-party purpose.

What support do you provide?

UK-based support team, available by phone, email and in-app chat. Free during the trial and on every paid plan. Enterprise plan includes priority support and dedicated training. You speak to people who understand both the software and the garage trade — not an overseas helpdesk reading from a script.

How does the Garage Line AI receptionist actually work?

You pick a UK landline number — 30+ area codes available including London 020, Manchester 0161, Birmingham 0121, Glasgow 0141, Edinburgh 0131, Liverpool 0151 and Cardiff 029. You write the AI greeting in your own words. You enable the services you offer and set the prices. Then you go live.

When a customer calls, the AI answers 24/7, quotes prices from your list, checks your diary, books the slot, and saves the booking automatically. You receive an email summary after every call with the conversation details and the booking that was made. Available on any plan from £14.99/month with 2,000 inbound minutes included.

Can I turn off modules I don't need?

Yes. The Customise Menu setting lets you hide any of the 17 modules from your team's left navigation. If you don't do roadside recovery work, hide Recoveries. If you don't sell cars, hide Car Sales. If you're not using purchase orders yet, hide that too.

Nothing is deleted — you can switch any module back on at any time, and your data stays exactly where it is. Your team sees only the modules they actually use, so the system stays simple as you grow into it.

What payment fees do I pay when customers pay through the system?

1.5% per transaction plus standard Stripe processing fees. No monthly fee on top of your My Garage CRM subscription. Funds go directly to your bank account — they're never held in a separate wallet or delayed in a third-party balance.

Stripe Connect is set up in a few minutes during onboarding. Once connected, you can send payment links to customers by SMS straight from any invoice or job card. Most garages have customers paying before they collect the car within the first week of going live.
