Garage CRM that remembers every customer, car and MOT date for you.

One record per customer and vehicle, full service history, and MOT reminders that pull repeat work back through the door automatically.

Free plan to start. UK-built and UK-hosted. ICO registered.

A garage CRM is not a mailing list. It is the single place where every customer, every vehicle and every job they have ever had lives together, so the relationship survives when a technician leaves or a paper card goes missing. Autera builds that record for you from the registration plate, files every quote, invoice and photo against the car, and then does the part most workshops never get round to: it watches the MOT dates and brings the customer back before the work goes elsewhere. Customer, vehicle, history and retention in one tool, not four.

WHAT AUTERA COVERS

What a garage CRM should do, end to end

Four pillars. Each links through to a deeper page if you want the detail.

One record per customer and vehicle

Type a registration once and Autera builds the record for you: make, model, year and owner all filled from DVLA. Every customer has their cars linked, every car has its owner linked. No duplicate contacts, no vehicle details typed twice, no digging to find who owns what.

See DVLA lookup

Full service and MOT history

Every job, quote, invoice, payment and photo is filed against both the customer and the vehicle. Open a record and you see exactly what was done last time and what is due next, so any technician can pick up a returning car without asking around.

See vehicle health checks

MOT reminders that drive repeat work

Autera knows when every vehicle on your books is due its next MOT, straight from DVLA, and emails the customer before it runs out (SMS coming soon). The single biggest source of repeat work most workshops leave sitting in their customer list, switched on automatically.

See MOT reminders

Export to Xero and QuickBooks

Invoices and customer records flow through to your accounts with built-in Xero and QuickBooks integrations. Your bookkeeper stays in the tools they know while you keep the customer relationship and the full job history inside Autera.

BEFORE AND AFTER

A spreadsheet of names vs a record that remembers everything

The difference between a customer list and a customer relationship.

BEFORE AUTERA
Customer names in a spreadsheet, no vehicle history attached
Old jobs on paper cards nobody can find
Duplicate contacts and cars typed in more than once
MOT due dates in a list that nobody keeps up to date
New technician cannot see what was done last visit
Repeat work lost because nobody chased the customer
WITH AUTERA
One record per customer, with every car linked
Every job, quote, invoice and photo filed against the vehicle
DVLA lookup builds the record so nothing is typed twice
MOT expiry synced from DVLA on every vehicle
Any technician sees the full history in one tap
Automated MOT reminders bring the customer back on their own

FAQ

Garage CRM software FAQ

More questions? See the full FAQ, the pricing page, or the wider garage management software overview.

Garage CRM software is the system a workshop uses to hold its customer relationships in one place. It keeps a single record for every customer and every vehicle, with the full history of jobs, quotes, invoices and photos attached, so anyone on the team can see what was done last time and what is due next. In Autera that record also drives the retention side: automated MOT reminders go out at the right time to bring the customer back. That is what turns a customer list into a CRM rather than a spreadsheet of names.

Yes. Every customer in Autera has their own record, and every vehicle they own is linked to it. Each job, quote, invoice, payment and photo is filed against both the customer and the vehicle, so the full service history is one tap away. Type a reg and you see the car, the owner and everything you have ever done to it. Nothing lives in a separate spreadsheet or an old technician’s memory.

When you add a vehicle, Autera looks up the registration against DVLA and pulls the current MOT expiry date. As that date approaches, reminders go out to the customer by email automatically (SMS coming soon), under your garage name. Every car you have serviced needs another MOT in twelve months, so this quietly refills the diary from the customer base you already have. MOT reminders are part of the Workshop plan and above.

Yes. Autera has built-in integrations with Xero and QuickBooks, so invoices and customer records can flow through to your accounts rather than being re-keyed. Your bookkeeper works in the tools they already know, and you keep the customer relationship and the job history inside Autera.

Solo is free forever (1 user, 20 jobs and 20 invoices per month). Starter is £29 per month (3 mechanics, 100 jobs, unlimited invoices). Workshop is £79 per month and adds MOT reminders, inventory and ADAS certificates for up to 6 mechanics. Multi-Bay is £149 per month with unlimited seats and priority support. No setup fees, no contracts, cancel any time.

Yes. Export a CSV from your current software or spreadsheet, send it over, and we map and reconcile your customers and vehicles into Autera, usually within 48 hours. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on UK infrastructure, and backed up daily with a 30-day recovery window. Autera is built and run by FrameLogic Limited, a UK company, and is fully UK GDPR compliant. We never sell or share your data.
