For each car, the system calculates the next due date from the last intervention and the interval you set, which defaults to six months. The team sees the list of cars coming due and decides how to contact each customer.
In short: many workshops lose customers without noticing, because nobody remembers when each car was last serviced. 4mygarage calculates the next due date for every vehicle: the date of its last intervention plus an interval, which defaults to six months and can be configured. The result is a list of cars coming due, which the team uses for planning. The product does not send messages to customers and has no channel for contacting them. The list is the workshop's internal tool, and what to do with each car remains the team's decision.
Each car has the date of its last intervention, recorded on the work order. The set interval, which defaults to six months, is added to it to give the due date. You do not have to remember anything: when a new intervention is closed, the due date is recalculated from its date.
The reminders make a list of the cars whose due date is getting close. The team uses it as a starting point for planning: it sees which cars are coming up, with their history and contact details. The list is an internal working tool; the product does not send anything to customers from it.
A reminder starts from the car's history: the interventions closed on work orders, the parts fitted and the mileage noted. Anyone who opens the vehicle file sees where the due date comes from and what was last done, so a service that was already carried out is not repeated.
4mygarage calculates the due dates and keeps the list. It does not send SMS, e-mail or other messages to customers, and it has no online booking for them. Contacting customers, when and how, remains the team's task, which uses the list as a planning tool.

4mygarage brings the vehicle card, work orders with labour and parts lines, the catalogue of operations and parts, service reminders and an analysis summary together in one application for auto service shops and garages.
We are transparent — here is where 4mygarage is not (yet) the best fit:
A good fit for independent auto service shops, garages and repair workshops that want the vehicle card, work orders with parts and operations from their own catalogue, service reminders and an analysis summary in one application. Not a fit for large dealerships needing a complete DMS.

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.
