Less chasing. More operational clarity.
CoreCare Garage gives service advisers and technicians a shared view of the work moving through the workshop. The demonstration uses representative customers, vehicles and jobs.
Common problems it is designed to address
- Diary changes that do not reach the workshop
- Job information split between paper, messages and separate systems
- Customers calling because progress is not easy to see
Job cards and inspections
Follow required work, findings and status through a consistent job workflow.
Customers and vehicles
Keep useful customer and vehicle history connected to each booking.
Estimates and reminders
Prepare customer-facing work information and track agreed follow-up actions.
A working day
From first action to clear follow-up.
The exact configuration follows your roles and process. This is the representative flow used in a guided demonstration.
Book and prepare
Capture the vehicle, requested work and planned slot before arrival.
Inspect and update
Record findings and keep job progress visible while work is underway.
Complete and follow up
Review the job record, collection status and future reminders.
Reporting views
See what needs attention.
- Jobs by workshop status
- Diary and technician workload
- Outstanding estimates and customer actions
Confirm before live use
No hidden assumptions.
These items are checked and agreed during onboarding:
- Parts-catalogue and supplier connections
- MOT or other third-party services
- Messaging, payment and accounting integrations
Fit and requirements
Decide with the practical details visible.
A guided evaluation is not unrestricted production approval. These requirements make the current fit and limitations explicit before you invest time.
Best suited to
- Independent garages and workshops
- Reception and technician teams sharing job progress
- Businesses replacing disconnected diaries and job records
Not suited to
- Workshops requiring an unverified MOT or parts integration immediately
- Offline-only operation
- Businesses expecting automated migration without checking customer and vehicle data
Independent garages and small workshop groups; locations, users, bays and integrations are scoped before ordering.
Modern desktop and tablet browsers; exact workshop-device suitability should be tested around the working environment.
A stable internet connection is required. Offline workshop operation is not currently promised.
Customer, vehicle and job-history imports are assessed and validated before live use.
Workflow mapping, templates, role setup, migration and a complete booking-to-collection test. Timing depends on data and integrations.
Guided setup and product support as stated in the order.
Current capability matrix
Available, conditional or not offered
The labels below use the same meaning across all five CoreCare products. “Available to evaluate” means a representative workflow can be explored; it does not by itself approve production use.
| Capability | Status | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Diary, job cards, inspections and estimates | Available to evaluate | Representative customers, vehicles and jobs are included. |
| Customer and vehicle history | Available to evaluate | Migration quality is checked before production. |
| MOT, parts, messaging, payments and accounts | Confirm before live | Each provider and workflow must be scoped. |
| Guaranteed offline workshop operation | Not currently offered | A stable connection is required. |
Current limitations
- MOT, parts, messaging and payment integrations are not assumed
- No universal offline mode claim
- Hardware and supplier compatibility requires confirmation

Ask a questionDoes it connect to MOT, parts and payment systems?+
Compatibility depends on the provider and your workflow. We confirm each external connection before it forms part of the scope.
Can we move customer and vehicle history?+
We first assess the source data, then agree what can be imported and how it will be checked.
