FOR · NEW WORKSHOP OWNERSSYDNEY · --:--:--

Open day to first invoice in a week.

Brand-new workshop owners shouldn't spend three months configuring software. Sensible defaults, free setup help, monthly billing, and a real human on the other end of an SMS.

  • First workshop
  • Second site
  • Owner-operator
  • Bootstrapped
  • 14-day trial
  • AU & NZ
PROBLEM

Most workshop software is priced for established shops.

Enterprise pricing, six-week onboarding, training fees, "professional services" quotes — none of which a brand-new owner can stomach in month one. You need something that boots up sensibly, starts free for 14 days (no card, no setup fee), then starts at $109 a month — and gets out of the way.

CAPABILITY · 01

Sensible defaults from day one.

  • AUD currency, DD/MM/YYYY dates and 10% GST treatment pre-set — just add your labour rate
  • Default service-type templates (logbook, brake job, RWC) ready to use
  • Diary, jobs, invoices, customer screens — usable on day one
CAPABILITY · 02

Free setup, no upsell.

  • Free data import from MechanicDesk (other systems on request)
  • Free 60-min setup call — we configure your workshop with you
  • No setup fee, no onboarding fee, no "professional services" quote
CAPABILITY · 03

The grown-up features, day one.

  • Embeddable booking widget drops onto your website and reads your live diary — customers self-book the open slots while you’re under a bonnet
  • Digital inspections with 27 ready-made templates, green/amber/red ratings and a photo per item — approved findings become a priced quote in one tap
  • Automated service reminders auto-set the next logbook due date on completion and go out by SMS/email, so customers can reply "book me"
  • Live Burson EzyParts trade pricing flows into your quotes and purchase orders (where supported) — accurate parts margin from your very first job
