Replace the Paper Job Card: Garage Software You Build by Describing It
An auto repair shop can build its own garage software with Mythex: bookings limited by ramps, a job card per vehicle that the front desk and workshop both see, online approval of extra work with photos, and itemised invoices with part numbers. Describe how your workshop runs, check the live preview, and publish with a real database behind it.
What a workshop needs once the whiteboard is full
The day starts with drop-offs and a rush at the desk. By ten, a diagnostic has found worn discs and a leaking shock, and someone spends half an hour trying to reach the owner for approval while the car sits on the ramp. Parts arrive from local suppliers through the day, a service gets bumped, and the whiteboard no longer matches what is on the ramps. Inspections and services follow the calendar and the odometer, so the work you will get next year depends on reminders you probably are not sending. The shop needs one record per vehicle that holds the job, the approvals, the parts and the history.
- Bookings limited by ramp or bay capacity, not only time
- Registration and odometer reading at booking
- Job status from checked in to ready for collection
- Extra work approved in writing, with photos and price
- Declined advisories kept for the next visit
- Parts and labour itemised with part numbers
What you can build for auto repair shops
Approvals without phone tag
Customers follow their car from checked in to diagnosing, awaiting approval, awaiting parts and ready. Extra work appears as items with a photo of the worn part and a price to approve or decline, and the decision is time-stamped on the job. Fleet customers see every vehicle in one account, with service history and invoices.
Build a customer portal for my auto repair shop. Customers see their vehicle's status (checked in, diagnosing, awaiting approval, awaiting parts, ready), approve or decline extra work items that include a photo and price, and view service history and invoices. Fleet accounts see all their vehicles. Save each approval with the time.
Bookings that respect the number of ramps
Tell it you run four bays and the booking page stops offering a slot once they are all taken. Jobs run from a short inspection to a full day. Registration and mileage are captured at booking so the desk can look up the car first. Waiting appointments are limited to short jobs early in the morning, and drop-offs are kept separate.
Make a booking system for my garage with four bays. Job types have their own durations, from a 45-minute inspection to a full-day repair, and slots disappear when all bays are taken. Ask for registration and mileage, and keep waiting appointments to jobs under an hour before 10am.
Vehicles as records, reminders by date and mileage
Vehicles are their own records linked to the current owner, because cars change hands. Inspection and service due dates are stored by date and mileage, declined advisories like wearing brakes are kept for a follow-up, and fleet accounts list vehicles by site with a contact.
Build a CRM for an auto repair shop with vehicles linked to owners, service and inspection due dates by date and mileage, declined advisory work with the date and price quoted, and fleet accounts with several vehicles. Show a list of vehicles due next month.
Itemised invoices and monthly fleet statements
Parts and labour sit on separate lines with part numbers, which customers trust and supplier warranty claims require. Fleet jobs roll into a monthly statement, and warranty work is invoiced at zero but stays on the vehicle's history.
Make an invoicing app for an auto repair shop with separate parts and labour lines including part numbers, account customers billed on a monthly statement, and warranty jobs at zero cost kept on the vehicle history.
Billed hours against clocked hours
Technicians clock on and off jobs, and the dashboard shows billed against worked hours per person, average invoice by job type, how often customers approve extra work, and parts margin next to labour revenue.
Build a dashboard for my garage showing billed hours versus clocked hours per technician per week, average invoice value by job type, approval rate for extra work, and parts margin compared with labour revenue.
A garage site that answers the honesty question
List servicing, diagnostics, inspections and bodywork with the makes you know best, show the team and the workshop, and say plainly that you call for approval before any extra work. Give the latest drop-off time, courtesy car and waiting options, and a booking form that asks for the registration so the desk can look the car up first.
Make a website for my auto repair shop with our services, the makes we specialise in, team and workshop photos, reviews, opening hours with latest drop-off, courtesy car details, a line saying we always call for approval before extra work, and a booking form asking for registration, mileage and job type.
Day one: the digital job card
Before the website or the dashboard, replace the paper job card. Each car that comes in gets a job with registration, mileage, the work booked, the technician and a status. Put it on a screen in the workshop and at the desk, and the whiteboard can go. Add the approval step next, then reminders. Everything else, including the portal and the dashboard, reads from those job records.
- Job per vehicle with status and technician
- Workshop and desk see the same board
- Approval step with photos next
Reminders that bring the car back
Store each vehicle's next inspection and service due date and mileage. A monthly list of vehicles due is the most reliable source of next year's work, together with the declined advisories from earlier visits. Sending the reminders automatically needs an email or SMS service connected with your own account; the list itself works on day one.
Questions
Can customers approve repairs online?
Yes. Each extra item can have photos and a price, and the customer approves or declines it in the portal. The decision and time are saved on the job.
Can bookings respect how many ramps we have?
Yes. Tell it how many bays you run and the booking page stops offering a slot once they are all taken at that time.
Can it send service reminders?
It keeps due dates and mileage and lists vehicles due each month. Sending reminders by email or SMS needs a service you connect with your own account.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe how your workshop runs and Mythex builds it, then you change it by chatting.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Build and publish on Free with daily credits and no credit card. Pro is $25/month and adds more credits, a custom domain and code editing.
