Everything a workshop runs on, in one place

Mechvy replaces paper job cards, whiteboards and spreadsheets with one live system for the whole team, on a phone, tablet or computer. Here is everything it does.

Run the workshop day

See what is happening, who is on it and what is coming next.

  • Live workshop board

    Every job from booked to invoiced on one board, colour-coded by status and priority. Drag a job to another bay or technician and everyone sees it straight away.

  • Jobs and work orders

    One record per job with the customer, vehicle, technician, bay, labour, parts, notes, photos and history. No paper job card to lose.

  • Scheduling and capacity

    Book against real bays, technicians and leave, not just an empty time slot. Clashes are flagged before they happen and suggested times fit the resources a job needs.

  • Online booking

    Customers request a time from your booking page or website. You review each request with the customer and vehicle history beside it, then approve it in one click.

  • Courtesy vehicles

    Keep track of your loan cars: which are out, who has them and when they are due back, so a customer is never promised a car that is not there.

  • Multiple sites

    Run more than one workshop from one account, with each site keeping its own bays, team and bookings.

In the workshop

Built for mechanics, so the day-to-day jobs take seconds.

  • Mechanic workflow on phone and tablet

    Mechanics see their own jobs, start and pause work, record time and parts, add photos and notes, and finish the job without leaving the car.

  • Vehicle inspections

    Digital checklists with OK, Attention and Fail for each item, notes and photos. Anything flagged goes to the office and can be added to the quote in one click.

  • Timesheets and labour time

    Labour time is recorded on the job as the work happens, so what you quote, what you charge and what was actually spent can be compared.

  • Warranty tracking

    Record warranty on parts and work against the job and vehicle, so a return visit starts with the facts.

  • Compliance records

    Keep the documents and records your workshop needs to hold with the job and vehicle they belong to.

Customers and vehicles

Know who you are dealing with and keep them in the loop.

  • Customer records

    Contact details, preferences, vehicles, past jobs and unpaid invoices in one place, searchable in a moment.

  • Vehicle history

    Every job, inspection, photo and service on a vehicle, with service-due reminders so you know when it is due back.

  • Customer portal

    Customers see the status of their job, approve quotes, view invoices and pay, and book their next visit from their phone, like tracking a delivery.

  • Email and SMS updates

    Booking confirmations, approval requests, ready-for-collection messages and service reminders go out automatically, in the way each customer prefers to be contacted.

  • Service reminders

    Bring regular customers back with reminders based on when their vehicle is next due.

Quotes, invoices and payments

Get from approved work to paid without retyping anything.

  • Quotes with customer approval

    Build a quote from labour and parts. The customer approves or declines each line online, so extra work only goes ahead when it has been agreed.

    More on quotes and invoices →
  • Tax invoices with GST

    Invoices show your business details, GST worked out for you and Australian date formats, and open as a clean page you can print or save as a PDF.

  • Payments and cash register

    Record payments against invoices, take card payments online once a payment provider is connected, and reconcile the day with a cash register.

  • Labour rates

    Set your labour rates once and use them across quotes and jobs.

  • Accounting connection

    Connect to Xero or MYOB, or export your data, so totals do not have to be keyed in twice.

Parts, stock and suppliers

Stop jobs stalling because a part was not there.

  • Parts and inventory

    Part records with SKU, barcode, bin location, supplier and minimum level. Parts running low are highlighted and the right people are told in time to reorder.

  • Suppliers and purchase orders

    Keep supplier details together, raise purchase orders and receive deliveries so stock levels update automatically.

  • Parts catalogue search

    Search an external parts catalogue against the exact vehicle in front of you, then add the right part to the job.

Run the business

The controls and visibility owners and managers need.

  • Reports

    See revenue, jobs, technician and bay activity, and how many customers return, so decisions are based on what is actually happening.

  • Team, roles and permissions

    Owners, managers, service advisors, mechanics and storemen each see only what they need, and you decide who can change what.

  • Your own workshop website

    Publish a simple website for your workshop with your services, opening hours and an online booking button, without building anything yourself.

  • Data import and export

    Bring your customers, vehicles and parts across from spreadsheets, and export your records whenever you need them.

  • Activity log

    See who changed what and when, so questions about a job or an invoice can be answered.
