Parts kept in a catalogue, with their default price, appear on work orders with the quantity fitted. Each part stays linked to the car and to the job where it was used.
In short: parts fitted at a car service get lost between receipts, orders and memory. If they are not written on the work order, they do not appear in the job's cost and cannot be found in the vehicle's history. 4mygarage keeps a catalogue of parts with name, code and default price. When the mechanic fits a part, they add it to the work order with the quantity used, and the price comes from the catalogue. The result is a clear record of the parts fitted on each vehicle and a job cost calculated from the order. The product is not a warehouse module: parts appear as lines on work orders.
Each part in the catalogue has a name, a code and a default price. You enter it once, and every time it is fitted on an order, the line is completed with the same data. This way the same part has the same name and price across all jobs, and the orders stay clear for anyone who opens them.
The mechanic adds the part to the work order and records the quantity used. The line appears alongside the operations, with its price, and counts toward the job cost. What was fitted stays written on the order, not in someone's memory.
Closed orders stay linked to their vehicle. The vehicle file shows which parts were fitted at each intervention, with the quantity and the date of each order. When a customer asks what was changed at the last visit, the answer is in the file, not in a separate register.
The analysis summary, calculated from the work orders, shows which parts appear most often and on which jobs. It helps decide which catalogue entries are worth keeping tidy and which prices are worth reviewing. The product does not track warehouse quantities: what is analysed are the parts used on orders.

We set up your parts catalogue and show you how each fitted part reaches the car's work order and history.
4mygarage puts parts and operations directly on the work order: each line has a quantity and a price from your own catalogue of operations and parts. It does not keep warehouse stock and has no reorder alerts.
We are transparent — here is where 4mygarage is not (yet) the best fit:
A fit for auto service shops that want to see which parts and labour each vehicle received, at catalogue prices. Not a warehouse management tool. Does not replace an EPC catalogue for identifying parts by OEM number.

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.
