Everything You Need

Professional tools built for mechanics who work in the field, not behind a desk.

Estimates & Invoicing

PDF estimates and invoices. Your logo on them with Solo. Send by email or share the link. Customers approve estimates via a public link — no login required. Estimates include state disclosure language for Florida, California, Georgia, New York and Texas, based on your shop’s state.

Payment Tracking

Record every payment against its invoice and see at a glance who still owes you. Built-in card processing is coming soon.

Photo Inspections That Upsell for You

Show the customer exactly what you found — photos and video per item, condition ratings (good / fair / poor / urgent). Share the report in seconds. Photo inspections are on Solo Pro. The upsell closes itself.

Public Booking Page

Share your booking URL — customers self-book, no phone tag. Conflict prevention, 24hr reminders, auto-creates customer + vehicle + job from every booking.

VIN & Plate Lookup

Scan VINs with your phone camera, decode any VIN via NHTSA, or enter a license plate + state to get vehicle info instantly.

Customer Portal

Customers verify with their phone number — no password needed. They see all their vehicles, full job history, and can submit support tickets directly.

Service Reminders

Automatic appointment reminder emails 24 hours before each booking, plus a service-due email at day 60.

P&L Dashboard

Revenue, expenses, and profit in a single view. 6-month trends. IRS mileage tracking at $0.70/mile. Export expenses for tax prep. Know your numbers.

Streamlined UX for solo operators. Fast on-site estimates from your phone. Built for one person running a tight operation.

Write it up with zero bars

Write up jobs, estimates and invoices with zero bars. Send them once you’re back in range. Sending and VIN lookup need a connection.

Multiple shops or service vans — filter everything by location. Inventory per location with transfers. Fleet vehicle tracking, fuel logs, maintenance schedules.

Q

“I’m too busy to learn new software”

GarageSolo runs from your phone. If you can use a smartphone, you can use it, and the free plan lets you write your first estimate today.

Q

“What if I already have customer data somewhere else?”

Import your customers from a spreadsheet. Your customer list comes with you.

Q

“Another monthly subscription?”

Paid plans start at $49/month — less than one oil change. One $300 brake job you’d have forgotten to bill covers six months of Solo. And there’s a free tier with no time limit to prove it first.

Q

“What if it doesn’t work for my workflow?”

Start free — no time limit. No credit card. No commitment. If it doesn’t fit, just don’t subscribe. We’re confident you’ll stay.

Built by a Mechanic

USAF VeteranMobile MechanicBuilt It Himself
I’m a mobile mechanic in middle Georgia. Every piece of software I tried was built for big shops and dealerships — not for someone working out of a van. So I built GarageSolo myself. It does exactly what I need, nothing I don’t.
