What software do you need for a one-mechanic car service?
A service with one mechanic does not need every module of a large workshop. Below are the ones that matter and the ones you can leave aside.
Short answer
- You need the file for each car, work orders and service reminders; the rest is optional.
- A catalogue of operations and parts with default prices shortens each order.
- If you do not need automatic messages or invoicing in the app, 4mygarage works without them; the product does not include them.
- 4mygarage covers the file, the orders and the reminders; booking and customer messages it does not.
What a day looks like
Example: in the morning you see the scheduled orders. The car comes in, and you receive it with mileage and the customer's complaint. You work on it and fill in the lines. At the end you mark it ready, then delivered.
