What it is
GaragePlug is a cloud platform for auto repair workshops and detailing centers, with tools for managing jobs, customer communication, and business activity. Workshop features include workflow and appointment management, digital job cards, e-invoicing, inspections, estimate approvals, parts inventory, technician time tracking, and vehicle history. Staff can send quotes, invoices, inspection reports, service updates, and payment reminders through SMS, email, or WhatsApp. Customers can use a branded app, book through the web, check in themselves, and receive service reminders.
Dashboards report on revenue, sales, inventory, technicians, multiple outlets, and other business metrics. Gia, GaragePlug’s AI advisor, can answer calls around the clock, book or reschedule visits, handle service-status calls, and transfer calls to staff. The platform works through web access and mobile apps on Android and iOS, and on desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. GaragePlug lists onboarding, training, and live support, including in-platform live chat and online and video training. It has no free plan, but a seven-day free trial is available; continuing afterward requires a subscription. Pricing is provided by custom quote and depends on network size, geography, and selected clouds. The custom package is mapped to outlets and selected CX, Workshop, BI, and AI clouds.
Who it suits. GaragePlug suits auto repair and detailing businesses that want job, inspection, estimate, inventory, and customer communication tools together. Its outlet reporting and custom packages may suit multi-brand chains and franchise or company-owned networks.
