A mobile mechanic checking a customer's details on his phone in a suburban driveway, his bakkie and open toolbox behind him and the customer's car with its bonnet up beside him.

How it actually goes

One job, from the driveway to the bank.

No office, no laptop, no paperwork evening. Here is the whole loop.

  1. The mechanic checking a customer’s details on his phone in a suburban driveway, his bakkie and open toolbox behind him and the customer’s car with its bonnet up.
    01 · At the car

    You already know the car

    Every client carries their own history — their vehicles, what you did last time, what you charged for it. You pull it up standing at the bonnet, not back at the house that evening.

  2. The mechanic leaning over an open engine bay, building a quote on his phone with grease on his hands.
    02 · Before you pack up

    The quote goes out before you wipe your hands

    Build the price at the vehicle and send it there and then. Your client opens a link and accepts or rejects it themselves, in writing, with their name on it — so nobody argues about the number later.

  3. The mechanic at a home-office desk in the evening, working at a computer with car keys, an invoice and a service manual on the desk beside him.
    03 · That evening

    And the chasing is not your job

    One click turns the accepted quote into an invoice with a pay link on it. If it runs late, Pro chases it for you — three days before it is due, on the day, then at 7, 14 and 30 days.

Why Garage Manager

The parts that actually get you paid.

account_balance

The money lands in your bank, not ours

Card payments settle into your own account, not into ours and out again later. The 1% comes off your settlement — your customer pays the invoice as issued, never a surcharge on top.

confirmation_number

Every invoice carries its own payment reference

Each client gets a permanent code of their own, printed on their invoice. When an EFT lands in your bank you can trace it back to the right client instead of guessing from the name on the deposit.

schedule_send

Overdue invoices get chased on a schedule

Three days before it is due, on the day, then again at 7, 14 and 30 days late. It runs whether you remember or not, so you are not the one sending the awkward message. On Pro.
