Garage OS is a shop-floor operating system for Kenyan auto repair workshops. It unifies digital job cards, estimates, parts inventory, mechanic tasks, M-Pesa payments, and KRA eTIMS invoicing in one workspace built for how garages actually work.

Is Garage OS built for Kenya?

Yes. Garage OS supports M-Pesa and till payments, KES pricing, KRA eTIMS compliance, Kenyan insurance workflows, and multi-branch garages across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and nationwide.

Can Garage OS replace spreadsheets and WhatsApp for job tracking?

Yes. Every vehicle gets a live job thread with status, parts, labour, photos, and customer updates — so managers stop chasing updates in chat and technicians always know the next task.

Does Garage OS integrate with eTIMS?

Garage OS is designed for KRA eTIMS compliance so invoices and fiscal receipts stay audit-ready without duplicate data entry at month-end.

How fast can we go live on Garage OS?

Most workshops launch in days: import services, connect payments, invite your team, and start job cards the same week. No heavy IT project required.

Do technicians need laptops for digital job cards?

No. Garage OS works on phones and tablets on the shop floor — technicians see tasks without leaving the bay.

Can we keep insurer-friendly evidence on each job?

Yes. Photos, notes, and approvals stay on the job thread for faster insurer reviews.

Digital Job Cards

Every vehicle, every task, one live thread

Paper job cards disappear, handwriting causes disputes, and managers learn about delays from angry customers — not the floor. Digital job cards give every repair a single timeline from intake to handover.

Paper job card problems

Lost cards and unclear approval history
No photo evidence when insurers question labour
Technicians waiting on verbal instructions
Customers calling repeatedly for status updates

What digital job cards unlock

Plate lookup and customer history at intake
Photo and note capture tied to each line item
Technician task queues with clear priorities
Customer-ready status without WhatsApp chaos
Manager dashboards for overdue jobs and bay utilisation
