Automotive & mechanical workshops
Mechanical workshops spend more time on the tools and less time on the phone.
Parts that never make it onto the invoice, customers you chase about declined work, and recalls nobody checks.
Where the week goes
The three jobs that eat your week.
- Getting paid
Parts bought for jobs and never invoiced
Every supplier bill matched to a part charged and every return to a credit, daily.
How it stops - Chasing people
Customers you chase about declined work
Work they declined comes back as a dated reminder, with the inspection photo.
How it stops - Missed follow-ups
Recalls nobody checked
Every booked car checked against government safety recalls before it arrives.
