Work orders built around the repair
Open a job card from the customer complaint, record diagnosis, labour lines and parts, and watch the total build as the work happens.
Capabilities
Everything a repair shop actually uses in a day
Bay and technician scheduling
A day view per bay so the front desk can see what is on the lift, what is waiting and which technician is free.
Parts inventory across branches
Stock is deducted when parts hit a job card. Anything under its reorder level surfaces immediately, per location.
Estimates, invoices and payments
Send an estimate for approval, convert the approved job to an invoice in one click, then record partial or full payments.
Digital vehicle inspections
Red/amber/green checklists with photos and notes, shared with the customer on a link they can approve from their phone.
Online booking requests
Every shop gets a public booking link. Requests land in your schedule where you accept them into a real appointment.
Technician time tracking
Techs clock in and out of jobs from their own view, so billed hours match the hours actually spent on the car.
Reports and shop health
Revenue, job throughput and branch comparison tables, exportable to CSV whenever you need them elsewhere.
Customer portal and history
Every plate carries its full service record, and customers can follow repair status and download invoices themselves.

Start writing job cards
Book a car in, open the work order and let scheduling, inventory and invoicing follow from it.
Questions
Before you sign up
- Is ShopTop really free?
- Yes. The Starter plan runs a single-bay shop for free, with scheduling, invoicing and inventory included. Paid tiers are in pilot and can be switched on without a card.
- Does it work for more than one location?
- Yes. You can add branches, keep stock levels per location and compare branch performance in reports.
- Do my customers need an account?
- No. Estimates, invoices and inspection reports are shared as links that open on any phone. Customers can also create a portal account if they want their full history.
- What do I need to install?
- Nothing. ShopTop runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and phone, so the same job card is available at the front desk and in the bay.
Running a single site under a UK-style garage setup? See the garage management software page, or compare ShopTop with traditional shop management suites.
