A bespoke desktop app for British garages. Customers, vehicles, seasonal tyre storage, and one-click PDF invoices stay in SQLite on your own PC. Quick at the front desk. Still open when the line is down.

Preview with sample workshop data.
The usual week
Once in lost minutes, hunting a registration through job cards and a wiped whiteboard. Again on the direct debit, for a cloud package that will not open when the broadband drops — and that keeps your customers on someone else’s server.
One screen for the ramp, the tyre cage, and the invoice. The database is a file on the workshop computer. You own it.
The suite
Eight screens for the working day. Check a car in, book the diary, price the job, and see what is due — on the PC you already own.
01 · Front desk
Find the car before it reaches the ramp. Search the workshop database and open the record that is already on this PC.
02 · Diary
Put the day on the screen, not the whiteboard. Name, phone, registration, time, and the reason for the visit — an oil change, a tyre swap, an MOT.
03 · Customers
Search by name or registration while the customer is still at the counter. The list lives on the garage computer, ready the next time that car comes in.
04 · History
Every repair, and what it took, in one list. Search by registration or customer name and see the jobs and the takings without opening a folder.
05 · Pricing
Your labour and your parts, with a guide price in pounds. Build the list once, then price the job from it instead of guessing at the desk.
06 · Stock
Stock follows the job. Add a part and the count drops by one. Take that part off, or delete the job, and the piece goes back on the shelf.
07 · Due soon
Inspections due in the next 30 days, and the bookings already in the diary. Filter to today or this week before the morning starts.
08 · The garage
Name, town, company number, and VAT number, printed in the header of the service report. Save them once. The default VAT rate is 20%.
The workshop lives in a database on the garage PC — in the office or on the laptop in the van. It opens when the broadband does not. Customer names, plates, and job history are not uploaded to a cloud.
The key is checked against the computer’s hardware ID, so the copy you bought stays on the workshop machine. One PC. One licence. No shared logins floating around the yard.
Pricing
A lifetime licence for one workshop PC. Pay once, then get on with the work. The customer list stays in the garage.

Illustration only, at £40 a month. Real cloud workshop prices vary. After three years that example has cost £1,440, and the records are still not on your PC.
