We're a small two-lift shop — isn't this overkill?

The opposite: the smaller the team, the more expensive every hour lost to admin. A focused solution built in a few weeks already returns several hours a week.

We already have workshop software but aren't happy. Can you help?

First we look at what's actually missing: often you don't need a replacement, just a complement — online booking or reminder automation alongside the existing system.

How long does a system like this take to build?

A focused MVP — say, online booking with reminders — typically takes a few weeks. You follow progress through weekly demos.

What does a workshop system cost?

It depends on features, but the one-off development fee is often in the range of 1-2 years of boxed workshop software subscriptions. The configurator gives you a ballpark price in minutes.

Auto repair shop

Digitalization that fills the bay, not the paperwork pile.

From online booking to client records, I build systems for repair shops that give reception their time back — and cut the hours lost to empty bays.

Sound familiar from your workshop?

Talking to repair shops, the same pain points come up again and again — and none are about the repair. They're about the admin around it.

Reception is overloaded

Phone bookings, reschedules, work order hunting — reception's day disappears into admin.

No-shows quietly drain revenue

Without reminders, 8-10 missed appointments a month is completely normal. That's half a day to a full day of lost bay time every month.

Client and vehicle data is scattered

Paper work orders, spreadsheets, registration in someone's head. Reconstructing a returning customer's history takes minutes.

Recalls simply don't happen

Oil change, MOT, tyre swap — nobody systematically calls back customers who are due.

What can you digitalize in an auto repair shop?

You don't need everything at once — in most shops, one well-chosen system saves several hours of admin a week.

Online appointment booking

Customers book at midnight if they want, SMS reminders cut no-shows in half. Reception's phone time drops to a fraction.

Client and vehicle CRM

Service history, reminders and warranties in one place. Recalls send themselves.

Workshop website with local SEO

A website that ranks in local search and walks visitors to an appointment request.

Work order and quote management

A diagnosis becomes a quote at the push of a button, status tracked in the system.
