Workshop Software review
A broad repair-shop platform with reporting, integrations and API access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Workshop Software is a cloud-based management platform for independent automotive workshops, mechanical repairers and multi-site groups. It brings together booking management, quotes, job cards, digital vehicle inspections, estimate approvals, parts inventory, technician time clocking, vehicle history, invoicing, payment processing, service reminders and business intelligence reporting. Access is available through web, iOS and Android, with API support for businesses that need to connect workshop operations to other systems.
Pricing is organized into Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers, with annual and monthly billing. Silver costs $149 per month when billed annually or $169 per month when billed monthly, and includes full job and vehicle management, booking management, and data import and export. Gold costs $179 annually billed or $199 monthly, adding an advanced phone app, business intelligence, electronic inspections and online bookings from a website. Platinum costs $249 per site per month annually billed or $299 per site per month monthly billed, adding multi-site support, public booking API, public API and WorkshopWeb. A 14-day trial provides an initial evaluation period, while the paid structure suits shops prepared to budget for a dedicated system.
The platform’s ecosystem is a significant part of its fit. Integrations include Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, parts and vehicle-data services, WorkshopPay and Two-Way SMS, giving shops options across accounting, parts sourcing, payments and customer communication. The broad workflow coverage makes it suitable for businesses seeking one system across front-office, technician and reporting tasks. Shops needing API access, business reporting or multi-site functionality should focus on Gold or Platinum; smaller operations wanting only basic scheduling may find the wider feature set and paid plans unnecessary.
