Each vehicle file, with mileage, customer complaint and intervention history, is at hand before the mechanic takes the car. Reception and the work order are done in the same program, without paper forms.
In short: a car service reception loses time when the vehicle's data sits on paper, in a notebook or in someone's memory. 4mygarage keeps a file for every vehicle: registration number, VIN, make, model, year, mileage and the owner's contact details. At arrival, the receptionist records the mileage, the customer's complaint in the customer's own words and the scheduled date of the job, then opens the work order from the vehicle file. The intervention history appears in the same file, so the mechanic sees what was already done before starting the diagnosis. Everything agreed at reception stays written down and easy to find.
When the car arrives, reception notes the exact mileage, the customer's complaint in the customer's own words and the scheduled date of the job. This information goes onto the work order, so the mechanic knows from the start what is requested and at what mileage the vehicle came in. The reception date is recorded on the order, giving a clear trace of when the car entered the service.
When reception opens the vehicle file, the previous interventions appear, with the jobs and parts recorded on past work orders and the mileage noted at each visit. The customer does not have to explain again what was done, because the information is in the file. The mechanic can check whether a problem came up before and what was done then, which helps avoid repeated diagnoses.
Each vehicle has its own file: registration number, VIN, make, model, year and mileage, plus the owner's contact details and notes about the car. When the same customer comes back with another car, their details are already in the program. Notes stay next to the vehicle, so special requirements are not lost between visits.
From the vehicle file, reception opens the work order with the vehicle, customer and complaint data already filled in, without retyping them from paper. The order stays linked to the vehicle file and appears in its history once it is closed, for the next visits.
The mileage at arrival, the customer's complaint in their own words, the scheduled date of the job and the reception date. All of it goes onto the work order, which is opened from the vehicle file.
No. 4mygarage does not have online bookings made by customers. The scheduled date is recorded by the workshop on the work order, after it has been agreed with the customer.
From the vehicle file, found by registration number or VIN: previous interventions, jobs and parts on the work orders, plus the mileage noted at each visit.
Registration number, VIN, make, model, year, mileage, the owner's contact details and notes about the car. The history is filled in from the vehicle's work orders.
From the vehicle file you open the work order. The vehicle, customer and complaint data are already filled in, and the mechanic adds the operations and parts.
Yes. Each vehicle has its own file, all linked to the same customer and their contact details. The history of each car stays separate, on its own file.
We show you how the car's file, its mileage and its intervention history reach the mechanic before the vehicle enters the workshop.
4mygarage handles vehicle reception in the application: a vehicle card with registration number, VIN, make, model, mileage and customer details, plus the work order with the customer complaint and mileage at reception.
We are transparent — here is where 4mygarage is not (yet) the best fit:
A fit for auto service shops that want reception and the vehicle file in the application instead of on paper. Does not replace an EPC system for searching original parts.

4mygarage brings into one application the vehicle card, work orders with labour and parts lines, the catalogue of operations and parts, service reminders and an analysis summary built from work orders.
The customer complaint, mileage at reception, scheduled and reception dates, a status that moves step by step, and labour and parts lines with quantities and catalogue prices.
No. 4mygarage does not issue invoices and has no e-invoicing or ANAF connection. The work order keeps labour and parts lines, with quantities and prices, as a record of the intervention.
No. 4mygarage does not send SMS, WhatsApp or email to customers. Reminders and work order status are for the service team, which decides what to tell each customer.
No. There is no stock module with alarms. Parts appear as lines on the work order, with quantity and catalogue price, so you can see what was used on each vehicle.
