The daily grind
Sound familiar?
Jobs take longer than quoted
Because diagnosis eats into repair time and nobody tracks where the hours actually go.
Quotes take forever
30-60 minutes per complex quote. Ringing suppliers, looking up labour times. The customer's waiting and the phone's ringing.
FOH is drowning in admin
Phone calls, chasing approvals, typing up what the tech said. Half the day gone before a spanner turns.
"Is my car ready yet?"
The same phone call, ten times a day. Interrupts FOH, annoys the customer, and it's entirely avoidable.
No idea what you actually made
You know you're busy. But could you tell me your profit margin on last Tuesday's jobs? Most owners can't.
Everything you need
AI-powered from the ground up
Not a garage system with AI bolted on. Intelligence woven into every workflow, for every role in the garage.

Paste fault codes, describe symptoms, upload a scan PDF, or snap a photo. AI analyses with vehicle-specific context and gives step-by-step repair instructions.
Quotes in 2 Minutes
AI generates quotes from the diagnosis, your parts pricing, and vehicle history. Learns from every job to get more accurate over time.
Live Job Tracking
Every job tracked from booking to collection. Techs update from their device, FOH sees real-time status, customers get a live view. No phone calls needed.
Voice Notes for Techs

Snap for AI
Tech sees something wrong? One tap opens the camera. Snap a photo, AI identifies the issue, and the diagnosis is saved to the job automatically.
Know Your Numbers
Revenue per tech, labour efficiency, profit margin per job type. The numbers you need to run a profitable garage, not just a busy one.

Track stock levels, log parts against jobs, manage suppliers. AI-assisted stocktake and automated reorder suggestions so you never run out.

What garages tell us they want
Honest pricing
More advanced. Still cheaper.
Most garage software charges a headline price, then adds per-technician fees, reporting add-ons, and support tiers. MechIQ includes everything. One flat price.
Typical garage software
Looks affordable on the pricing page…
Per-technician fees
Bill grows every time you hire. 5-tech garage pays hundreds more than headline.
Reporting costs extra
Want to see your own numbers? Monthly add-on for dashboards.
Modules and support tiers
Every feature is another line on the invoice. Premium support? Extra.
No AI. At any price.
No AI diagnosis, quoting, voice notes, or camera analysis. These don't exist.

FAQ
Garage management software, answered
What is garage management software? +
Garage management software runs the day-to-day of an automotive workshop in one place: bookings, job tracking, vehicle history, quotes and estimates, parts and inventory, invoicing and payments, and reporting. MechIQ adds AI on top to make your team faster: it helps diagnose faults, drafts quotes for your front desk to send, and surfaces your true profit per job.
Does MechIQ work for garages in the UK as well as Ireland? +
Yes. MechIQ is built for both markets. It handles Irish NCT/CVRT and UK MOT reminders, VAT at the correct rate per country, registration lookups for both, and currency in EUR or GBP.
How is MechIQ different from GarageHive and other garage software? +
Most garage management systems are digital paperwork. MechIQ has AI built in from the ground up: it reads diagnostic scans and fault codes to suggest a work plan, drafts a full customer quote in under two minutes, and shows real profit per job, not just totals at month end. See the full MechIQ vs GarageHive comparison →
Do I need to install anything? +
No. MechIQ runs in any browser on the front desk, and as an installable app on phones and tablets for technicians on the workshop floor. Nothing to install on a server, no IT setup.
Can I move my data over from my current garage system? +
Yes. MechIQ imports your customers, vehicles, and parts from GarageHive and other systems via a guided CSV import, so you start with your history already in place.
