Workshop management software with AI built in, not bolted on
MechIQ runs the whole workshop — bookings, job cards on tablets at the bench, vehicle health checks with photos, parts and supplier invoices, customer approvals, invoicing and the accounts push. The AI does the typing so the desk and the techs don't have to.
Join the WaitlistEverything between "car booked in" and "car collected"
Bookings & workshop capacity
A calendar that knows how many technician-hours you actually have, flags overloaded days, and gets likely parts checked before the car ever arrives.
Job cards on tablets
Technicians work from a tablet at the bench: job briefing, vehicle history, clocked hours, and vehicle health checks with photos — no paper cards, no walking to the office.
AI diagnosis & quoting
Describe the symptom and MechIQ drafts the likely diagnosis, work plan and priced quote — grounded in manufacturer data, with the desk in control of what goes out.
Customer approvals from the phone
Extra work found mid-job goes to the customer as a priced approval with the technician's photos — by text or WhatsApp, or a phone call logged at the desk.
Parts & supplier invoices
Stock checked against booked jobs, orders across your suppliers, and supplier invoices photographed rather than typed — lines read by AI, confirmed by the desk.
Invoicing & accounts
The approved quote becomes the invoice with real hours and parts, VAT per line, pushed to Sage, Xero or QuickBooks. Profit per job visible as you go.
Built for independents, not dealer groups
Most workshop management systems were designed for franchise dealers and cut down. MechIQ is built for the independent workshop: a front desk juggling phones and walk-ins, technicians who'd rather hold a spanner than a keyboard, and an owner who wants to know the margin on a job before the customer collects — not at year end. Whether you call it workshop software or garage software, it's the same job, and it should be one system.
Workshop software FAQ
What's the difference between workshop management software and garage management software?+
Nothing meaningful — they're two names for the same thing. In Ireland it's usually called garage software; in the UK, workshop software. MechIQ covers the full job either way: bookings, job cards, health checks, parts, invoicing and reporting.
Do technicians need to be good with computers?+
No. Technicians get a purpose-built tablet app at the bench: tap to start a job, photograph what they find on the health check, and flag extra work. The AI does the typing — turning findings into priced work and customer-ready updates.
Can it run a workshop with more than one branch?+
Yes — multi-garage groups run each branch on its own MechIQ garage with shared oversight and cross-garage reporting for the owner.
How much does workshop management software cost?+
MechIQ pricing is based on workshop size, starting at €329/month for a solo or two-technician workshop. Every plan includes the AI features, the technician tablet app and accounting integration — see full pricing on the homepage.
