The operating system for independent garages
Quotes, bookings, workshop jobs, MOT reminders and customer messages — connected in one simple system. Built in a working garage, not a software office.
Built for busy independent garages
See it first hand
This is the real system, loaded with a demo garage's data — quotes mid-flow, cars on the ramp, MOTs due, messages waiting. Click anything. You can't break it.
Open the live demo →No login, no form, no email address. It just opens.
Texts and card payments are simulated in the demo — nothing is sent, nothing is charged.
Worth a look while you're in there
01
Build the quote in the bay with photos of what you've found. The customer opens it on their phone, sees the picture of the worn disc, and accepts line by line — or asks a question in the same thread.
02
Every car on site and what stage it's at — checked in, in progress, waiting on parts, ready. Put it on a screen on the wall so the team stops asking, and so you can answer "is it ready?" without walking out to look.
03
MOT expiry dates come straight from the DVSA, so reminders go out on time without anyone keeping a spreadsheet. And the work a customer turned down isn't lost — it's parked with the original photos and goes back to them later, when money's less tight. That declined pile is the biggest pot most garages never chase; this lines it up for you, photos attached, ready to send in one tap.
04
A booking form on your own website that looks up the reg, shows your real free slots and drops the job into your diary. The customer gets a text back. Nobody had to stop what they were doing.
05
Send a card payment link with the quote. Bigger job? Offer finance in the same message. Once it's paid it syncs to QuickBooks, so the invoice is done before the car's off the ramp.
06
Full DVSA history and defect list from just the reg, and retests tracked automatically. If you send your MOTs out to a partner tester there's a board for allocating them and tracking what's come back — because plenty of garages work that way.
See it working
Straight out of the live demo — the same system you'd be running, with a demo garage's cars in it.
Every quote, what stage it's at and what it's worth — including the reply the customer sent back.
A booking that arrived on its own, with what they want doing and when. Accept it and it drops into the diary.
Who's due, grouped by how urgent it is — and one button to send the lot.
Found money
Most garages lose work quietly — the advisory nobody chased, the quote that went quiet, the MOT that lapsed to the place down the road, the call that rang out under a car. GCC keeps hold of all of it and puts it back in front of you.
Four leaks, one system
The workshop camera
The tech has their phone in their hand anyway. They open the app, snap the worn disc, the leaking shock, the tyre down to the cords — a quick video, even — and it lands straight on that car's job. The office pulls the photos onto the quote, and the customer sees exactly what you saw.
Your own website
Not a page that sits there — a site that gets found, takes the booking and lets your customers help themselves. It's built out of your dashboard, so your services, prices and hours are always right, and every booking lands straight in your diary.
One queue, in order
Messages
Texts and phone messages land in one place, longest wait first — so the customer who's been waiting an hour is at the top, not buried under this morning's. Reply from the same screen, and it's logged against the car.
The suite
Ask Lois is built into the package and ready now. Finance Suite, MOT Manager and Lois Line are separate bolt-ons you can add whenever you want them — every one of them opens right inside the same dashboard.
Ask Lois · Built in, ready now
Lois reads your whole system — every quote, car, customer and message — and you feed her your supplier price lists, your labour times and the full MOT manual. Then just ask, in plain English, on the bay or at the desk.
Lois Line · A bolt-on, coming soon
The phone goes while you're under a car, and it rings out. That's the job you didn't win. Lois picks up, knows which cars are in and what stage they're at, and tells the customer — because she's reading the same system you are.
GCC Finance Suite · A bolt-on
The accounts side, built into the same system. Card payouts and the bank feed line up against the quotes that earned them, so reconciling is a review, not an evening of data entry — and your VAT is ready when it's due.
What's inside
GCC MOT Manager · A bolt-on
Everything a site needs to keep its MOT testing clean and audit-ready — tester assessments, the manual, equipment and certificate records — in one place, so you can drop the pricey MOT-club membership and still be ready when DVSA calls.

Founding members
We're looking for five garages to come on early, use it properly and tell us what's wrong with it. They pay £199 a month instead of £299 — and keep that price for as long as they stay, however big the system gets. In return we want honest feedback, and a few words we can quote once you're happy with it.
£199per month
Normally £299. Yours at £199 for as long as you stay.
Your input
Early means rough edges. That's the deal.

Separate from the package, added whenever you like.
None of these are needed to run the garage software.
