Irish workshops waste 10+ hours a week on paperwork, chasing parts, and hunting for job cards. MotorWorks gives you that time back — and shows you which work actually makes money.
These are the problems we hear from garage owners every week. If you're nodding along, you're not alone.
Customer's on the phone. You're checking the whiteboard, the desk, the pile by the kettle. Every interrupted search costs you 15 minutes and one irritated customer.
Workshop's flat out but there's nothing left at month end. You know some jobs lose money — you just can't prove which ones.
Another location would double revenue. It would also double the spreadsheets, the phone calls, and the Sunday admin sessions.
MotorWorks came from hundreds of conversations with independent garages, fast-service centres, and multi-site operators across Ireland. Not another generic system — software that fits the way you already run your workshop.
Every vehicle, every repair, every invoice — searchable instantly. Stop asking 'who had the silver Focus?' and start answering customers while they're still on the line.
See exactly what each job costs and what it returns. Spot the services bleeding margin. Know which technicians hit targets. Make decisions with data, not gut feeling.
Add a second or third workshop next month or next year. Same system, same processes, complete visibility. No new spreadsheets, no duplicated effort.
Six tools that work together to run your workshop — without the filing cabinets
Every job tracked from check-in to collection. See who's working on what, how long it's taking, and catch problems before the customer calls asking where their car is.
Send quotes customers can approve with one click. When they say yes, the invoice builds itself from the job card. No retyping, no mistakes.
iOS and Android apps that give you full access from anywhere. Check jobs, update statuses, get push notifications — from the floor, from home, from between sites.
NCT due dates auto-populate from Motorcheck.ie when you add a vehicle. Know which customers need pre-NCT work before they go elsewhere.
MotorWorks tracks when vehicles were last in. When they're overdue, send reminders automatically — before customers drift to a competitor.
Customers check their own job status and approve quotes online. Your phone stops ringing with 'is my car ready yet?' calls.
Export to Xero, Sage, or Big Red Cloud. Your accountant gets clean data, you skip the double entry.
Invoices and customer data — ready for your accountant in seconds.
Everything's already tracked. Export, send to your accountant, done.
Stop copying data between systems. Your books stay up to date automatically.
"We went from job cards in a shoebox to knowing exactly what every technician billed last month. Completely changed how we run the business."
"Sunday evenings used to be invoice time. Now they're done before the car leaves. I've got my weekends back."
"The customer portal cut our phone calls in half. People approve quotes at 10pm, we just come in and start the work."
Real numbers from real Irish garages — not marketing fluff
That's an extra day every fortnight. Most owners get their evenings and weekends back.
NCT reminders that send themselves. Customers come back for pre-test work instead of going elsewhere.
Customer portal lets people check job status and approve quotes online. Your phone stops ringing.
