How much does software for a car service cost?
The price of car service software depends on the plan you choose. 4mygarage is a monthly subscription, and the pricing page shows what each plan includes. Below is how to estimate the return before you pay.
Short answer
- The price is paid monthly and depends on the plan; the exact figures are on the pricing page.
- Before you choose, check what the plan includes: vehicles, work orders, catalogue, reminders and the daily summary.
- If you need stock, client SMS or invoicing, 4mygarage does not have them; do not pay for them as included features.
- The return is estimated from the time saved: hours per month × the hourly rate of the person who lost the time.
How to estimate the return
Start from how much time you lose now on paperwork: finding a file, rewriting an estimate, checking an appointment. Multiply the hours per month by the hourly rate of the mechanic or receptionist and compare with the plan price. If you don't have the figure, measure for two weeks before you decide.
Common mistakes when choosing a price
- You choose the cheapest plan without checking which modules you need.
- You pay for features nobody in your team uses.
- You forget the cost of switching from paper, which is real even though it does not show on an invoice.
- You don't measure how much time you lose now; without that figure any price looks expensive.
