# Garage Desk

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/556244/Garage-Desk

> Garage Desk is mobile-first management software built for independent UK garages and MOT stations. Instead of paper job cards, whiteboards and a clunky desktop tool, you run the whole workshop from your phone.

What it does:

- Job cards \& worklists — track every vehicle through the workshop, from booked-in to delivered.
- Estimates to invoices — build an estimate, convert it to a branded invoice in one tap, send the PDF instantly.
- MOT reminders \& DVLA lookup — type a registration, auto-fill the make, model, year and real MOT expiry from DVLA/DVSA, and remind customers automatically before it's due so the work comes back to you.
- Customer portal — your customers see their car's status, history and next MOT online, cutting down "is it ready yet?" phone calls.
- Online booking — take bookings 24/7 from your own booking page.
- Inventory — parts stock tracking that updates as you use parts on jobs.
- Inspections — digital vehicle health checks with photos, shareable to the customer.
- Accounts \& reporting — see what you've invoiced and collected, with sync to Xero and QuickBooks.
- Team roles — owner and mechanic logins with the right access for each.

Why garages choose it: it's built for the 1-5 bay independent garage — quick to start (free for 7 days, no card required, nothing to install), priced for a small shop, and designed to be used on a phone in the bay rather than a PC in the office.

Target market

Independent auto-repair garages and MOT stations in the UK, typically 1-5 bays and 1-10 staff. The ideal user is the owner-mechanic who runs the shop from the workshop floor, not an office — currently juggling paper job cards, spreadsheets or an aging desktop system. Support with same-day response, plus in-product help and a free onboarding walkthrough.
