For solo & mobile mechanics
Look like a real shop. From your phone.
GarageInvoice is the estimate and invoice app for solo and mobile mechanics. Build an estimate, text your customer a link, and they tap Approve — no paperwork, no chasing, no looking small.
No credit card. The free plan is free forever.
This is exactly what your customer sees on their phone.
The problem
You’re a great mechanic. The paperwork makes you look small.
Handwritten estimates
A number scribbled on a napkin or a torn invoice pad doesn’t say “trust me with your car.” Customers hesitate, and some walk.
Chasing approvals
Phone tag and “let me think about it” kill your day. You need a yes you can start on — in writing.
Chasing payments
The job’s done and you’re still texting for the money. No clean invoice, no card on file, no record.
Looking small next to “real shops”
The dealer and the chain down the road have slick software. You do the better work — you just don’t look the part yet.
How it works
Estimate to approved in four taps.
Scan the VIN
Point your camera at the windshield. GarageInvoice decodes the year, make, and model automatically — no typing.
Build the estimate
Add parts and labor as line items, snap a few photos of the problem, and your total adds up as you go.
Text the customer a link
Send a branded estimate by text in one tap. It shows your shop name, the vehicle, and every line — clean and professional.
They tap Approve
Your customer approves from their own phone. You get the go-ahead in writing, get paid faster, and look like a real shop.
Everything in one app
Built for one person and a phone.
Approve by text
Send an estimate as a private link. The customer taps Approve — you get a yes in writing, timestamped.
VIN scan
Scan the windshield VIN and auto-fill the vehicle from the NHTSA database. No more typing 17 characters by hand.
Invoices & payments
Turn an approved estimate into an invoice and take a card. Clean records, no more chasing the money.
Works in the garage
Concrete walls and dead spots don’t stop you. Build estimates offline — they sync the moment you’re back on signal.
Spanish-first
The whole app works in Spanish or English — from day one. Send an estimate in your customer’s language.
Reviews & reminders
Automatic review requests after the job and service reminders that bring customers back — without you lifting a finger.
En español, de verdad
En español, de verdad — desde el primer día.
GarageInvoice no es una traducción a medias. Toda la app — los presupuestos, las facturas, el enlace que aprueba tu cliente — funciona en español natural, no en “español de robot.” La competencia solo habla inglés. Tus clientes, no.
Pricing
Start free. Upgrade when it pays for itself.
A fraction of the price of shop-management software — because you’re one person, not a fleet.
Sending estimates and getting approvals is free — the whole core loop, no credit card.
