Garage software for UK garages. MOTs, VAT invoices and bookings in one place.
Look up a car by its reg, track every MOT, and run bookings, vehicle health checks, estimates with parts and labour, job cards, VAT invoices in pounds and reminders from one system.
Built for how UK garages run. The MOT, the reg and the VAT invoice.
-
Every MOT in one list
See when each customer vehicle’s MOT runs out, pull its DVSA test history by reg, and turn upcoming MOTs into bookings before they lapse.
How MOT management works -
Add a vehicle by its reg
Set the vehicle country to the United Kingdom and type the reg, like AB12 CDE. autoGMS fills in the make, model, colour and the rest from the DVLA.
How vehicle records work -
A vehicle health check on every car
Check each car in against 14 systems, from tyres and brakes to steering and lights, with photos and video. Anything that needs work goes straight onto the estimate, with parts and labour priced line by line.
How health checks work -
VAT invoices in pounds
The invoice fills in from the job card and the approved estimate, in GBP, with VAT at 20% and your VAT number. Record full or part payments, and sync invoices to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage.
How invoicing works
Booking to paid invoice. The same workflow in every market.
Each stop links to its full feature page. Those pages use US terms: a job card is a repair order there, and labour is labor. The workflow is the same in the UK.

Booking
Customers pick a slot on your online booking page, day or night. Walk-ins and phone bookings go in the same diary.

Vehicle health check
Check the car in with a vehicle health check: tyres, brakes and 12 more systems, with photos and video, before any work starts.

Estimate and approval
Send the estimate, parts and labour line by line, as a WhatsApp link. The customer approves, holds or declines each line.

Job card on a bay
Approved work becomes a job card on a bay, with a technician, a live timer and hold states for parts or approval.

Questions workshops ask
Does autoGMS work for UK garages?
Yes. Set your garage country to the United Kingdom and the currency becomes GBP and the VAT rate 20%. You can adjust the rate under Financials.
Can I look up a vehicle by its reg?
Yes. Set the vehicle country to the United Kingdom and enter the reg. autoGMS fills in the details from the DVLA and can fetch the vehicle’s MOT history.
Can reminders go out by text?
Yes, with the Branded SMS Reminders add-on for UK garages. Service and MOT reminders go by SMS under your own sender name. Without it, email reminders run automatically from your expiry rules, and WhatsApp reminders open ready to send.
Does it work with my accounting software?
Yes. Invoices sync to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, so your bookkeeper works from the same numbers.
