Customers stop calling “is my car ready?”

Every vehicle gets a job card with photos at check-in. Estimates go to WhatsApp for approval, updates follow each stage, and the bill and pick-up time arrive the moment it’s ready.

The problem

“Customers keep calling to ask whether their car is ready.”

What is garage management software?

Garage management software runs a workshop from check-in to delivery: a digital job card with photos, estimates the customer approves on WhatsApp, parts and labour on one GST bill, status updates at each stage, insurance claim tracking, and reminders when the next service is due. Customers stop calling to ask whether their vehicle is ready.

Built around your workflow: this demo is a starting point — screens, fields, rules and integrations are made to fit your business.

How the system works · how we measured

In the demo, moving a job card to “Ready” sends the customer the bill and pick-up time on WhatsApp and sets the next service reminder.

01 · The problem

What problem does it solve?

A multi-brand car workshop handles 25 vehicles a day with eight mechanics. Job cards are paper, estimates are phone calls, and parts are written on the back of the card.

The service advisor spends the afternoon answering “is it ready?” calls, parts used are sometimes left off the bill, and customers don’t come back because nobody reminds them.

  • Phone load

    Status calls all afternoon.

  • Unbilled parts

    Fitted but missing from the bill.

  • Disputes

    Over approvals given on the phone.

  • Lost repeat visits

    No reminder for the next service.

02 · The solution

How does Garage & Workshop Software fix it?

  1. 01

    A job card with photos

    Odometer, fuel, scratches and the customer’s complaint, recorded on a tablet at check-in.

  2. 02

    Estimates on WhatsApp

    Itemised parts and labour with photos; the customer approves in a tap, and the approval is kept.

  3. 03

    Updates at every stage

    Work started, parts awaited, ready — each sent automatically.

  4. 04

    Bill and remind

    Parts issued to the job card land on the bill; the next service reminder is set by date or kilometres.

FAQ

Garage & Workshop Software FAQ

All questions →
What is garage management software?

Garage management software runs a workshop from check-in to delivery: a digital job card with photos, estimates the customer approves on WhatsApp, parts and labour on one GST bill, status updates at each stage, insurance claim tracking, and reminders when the next service is due. Customers stop calling to ask whether their vehicle is ready.

Can customers approve estimates on WhatsApp?

Yes. They receive an itemised estimate with photos and approve or ask questions in the chat; the approval is saved on the job card.

Does it handle insurance claims?

Claim number, surveyor visits, approved amounts and the customer’s share are tracked per job card.

Can it manage parts stock?

Yes, as an add-on — parts issued to job cards reduce stock, and reorder levels trigger purchase.

Is it suitable for two-wheeler workshops?

Yes. Two-wheeler workshops use shorter job cards and packages, and the same WhatsApp updates.

Will it remind customers about their next service?

Reminders go out by date or estimated kilometres, with a link to book a slot.
