Switching systems shouldn’t mean starting over
You’ve got years of customer data, vehicle histories, and invoice records. Throwing that away to start fresh isn’t an option. MotorWorks lets you bring it all with you.

- Invoice numbers and dates
- Line items with parts and labour
- Payment status
- Linked to customers and vehicles
Payments
- Payment records against invoices
- Dates and methods

How import works
- Export from your old system — Most garage software can export to CSV or Excel
- Map your columns — Tell MotorWorks which column is which
- Dry run — See what will be imported and catch any issues
- Import — Commit the data, everything linked up properly
Duplicate handling
Already have some customers in MotorWorks? The import can match on email or name and update existing records rather than creating duplicates.
We’ll help you migrate
Data migration is included with every MotorWorks setup. If you’d rather not wrestle with CSV files yourself, we’ll handle it:
- Extract data from your current system
- Clean and format it for import
- Run the migration
- Verify everything came across correctly
You don’t have to become a data expert just to change software.
Export works too
Your data is yours. Export customers, vehicles, jobs, and invoices any time. No lock-in, no “you can’t take your data” nonsense.
