Schedule & customers
Bring the job in and keep the customer and vehicle record straight from the start.
Online booking
A booking page in your shop's logo and colors where customers request a time that fits your hours.
Front-desk appointments
Schedule and manage appointments from the shop calendar, with mechanic assignment.
Customers & vehicles
Every customer and vehicle in one place, with communication preferences and full service history.
Import your data
Bring customers and vehicles over from CSV or Excel with a preview, duplicate detection and an error report. Pro adds inventory and larger files.
Customer portal
A secure link where customers see their vehicles, appointments, estimates, invoices and history on their phone — and answer estimates.
Inspect & authorize
Turn what the vehicle needs into a clear estimate and a documented customer decision.
Digital inspections (DVI)
A standard checklist with condition and notes per item, and an estimate created from the findings.
Advanced DVI
Photos on findings, reusable inspection templates and a report you can share with the customer.
Itemized estimates
Services and parts with quantities and prices, with Canadian taxes calculated for you.
Customer approval trail
Customers accept or decline online; GarageOS keeps a time-stamped record of exactly what they saw.
Run the job
Keep the front desk and the shop floor aligned on what's approved and what's next.
Work Orders
Approved estimates become Work Orders with the customer's concern, parts and labour lines and an assigned mechanic.
Job status & Ready for Pickup
Track each job from check-in to done and tell the customer by email or text when the vehicle is ready.
Inventory that follows the job
Track stock and movements; parts used on a Work Order come off inventory automatically, and returns put them back.
Tire storage
Check seasonal tire sets in and out with location, condition and history, tied to the customer and vehicle.
Communicate & retain
Keep customers informed today, and bring them back for the next visit.
Branded email
Appointment, estimate and invoice emails go out under your shop's name, logo and reply address.
Two-way SMS inbox
Text customers from a dedicated shop number and read their replies in one inbox. A monthly SMS allowance is included.
Maintenance reminders
Attach the next service to the customer and vehicle and send the reminder when it's due.
Automated reminders
Recurring rules create reminders from the services you complete and send them by the customer's preferred channel.
Campaigns
Reach segments such as customers due for service, with consent and opt-outs respected.
Your own domain & sender
Send from your own domain and customize the booking page with templates and typography.
Invoice & get paid
Close out the job cleanly, with taxes and payments recorded the way accountants expect.
Invoices & receipts
Branded PDF invoices created from the estimate or Work Order, with GST/QST and other taxes fixed on each invoice.
Payments & refunds
Record card, cash, Interac e-Transfer and cheque payments collected by your shop, and issue full or partial refunds. GarageOS records payments; it doesn't process cards.
Cash drawer
Keep a simple record of cash in and out alongside your invoices.
Reports & books
See how the business is doing, and hand your accountant clean numbers.
Overview reports
Paid revenue, outstanding balances, jobs opened and new customers for this month, last month or the last 30 days.
Advanced reports
Sales, receivables aging, jobs and quotes, customers and inventory for any date range, with CSV export.
Accounting Light
Sales and tax summaries (GST/QST), payments and refunds by method, an activity log and accountant-ready CSV exports. Not a general ledger.
QuickBooks Online sync
Connect QuickBooks Online and sync customers, invoices, payments and refunds without retyping.
Team & Multi-Shop
Give each person the right access — and run several locations as one business.
Roles & access
Owner, mechanic and viewer roles keep finances and settings with the people who need them.
Fine-grained permissions
Grant or revoke specific abilities per team member, such as reports or campaigns.
Multi-Shop
Add locations under one organization, switch between them in a click and manage who can access each one. Every location keeps its own customers, work and invoices.
Consolidated reporting
See every location together or one at a time, and compare sales, jobs and customers side by side.
