What it does

What the garage tool does

A defect or a due date becomes a job. The job goes to your workshop or to an outside garage, who get a private link or a WhatsApp message with the job sheet; they answer, quote and update without a login. When it is done the van comes back on the road and the cost is on the van.

Who uses it

  • Workshop manager

    The board of what is in, what is waiting for parts and who is on it.

  • Mechanics

    Their jobs on a phone, with the sheet, the parts and the time.

  • Outside garages

    A link to the job, no account needed; they quote and report back.

What is in it

  • Maintenance jobs with work lists, fault codes and photos
  • Service schedule from each van’s dates and mileage
  • Defects reported by drivers and staff
  • Outside garages as suppliers, with a job sent by WhatsApp, email or link
  • Garage visits booked and tracked, with the van grounded only if it must be
  • Parts inventory and purchase orders
  • Workshop board and job sheets for your own mechanics
  • Costs on the van and in the accounts

Capabilities

What you can do

Send a job to a garage

The garage gets the sheet by WhatsApp or email and a link to answer, quote and mark it done; nothing is sent silently.

Plan services ahead

The schedule lists every van by the next service, MOT or inspection and books it before the date.

Run your own workshop

Mechanics see their jobs, clock the time and tick the work; the manager sees the board.

Keep parts in check

Inventory with reorder levels and purchase orders to suppliers.

Ground and swap

A grounded van can be swapped for a provisional one, and swapped back when the job is closed.

On screen

The service schedule

One calendar of what each van needs next, from its own dates and mileage: service, MOT, inspection, tyres. Book the slot, pick the garage, and the job is created with the van grounded only if it has to be.

  • Per-van intervals you set
  • Outside garage or your workshop
  • Reminders before the date

Questions

Questions about garage and mechanics

What does the garage tool cost?

A flat monthly price, shown on this page and on the pricing page from the live plans. Switch it on when you need it; it is charged pro rata by the day.

Do outside garages need an account?

No. They get a private link (and a WhatsApp message if you have that tool) to the job, where they quote, update and mark it done. You can give them a login later if you want.

Does it work with my own mechanics?

Yes. The workshop board gives each mechanic their jobs, the job sheet and the time; self-employed mechanics can be paid through supplier bills.

Is the cost recorded on the van?

Yes. Parts, labour and garage invoices sit on the job and on the van, and flow to expenses and the accounts.
