UK Workshop Pricing Guide
Comparing the cost of garage management software means looking beyond the package price. Consider the full package that fits your workshop, any configurable extras, VAT, contracts, professional setup and separately scoped data migration.
Per user vs unlimited
Some providers charge a baseline fee and then add costs per technician or extra user. This can discourage workshops from giving everyone access. TorqueOS takes a different approach: every main package includes unlimited users, with no per-technician charge. The whole workshop should use the system without penalty.
Hidden additions
Check whether features such as MOT reminders, SMS limits or integrations change the monthly cost. TorqueOS reminder capability starts with Engage and continues through Lite, Workshop and Complete. Messaging volume and any additional communications services are confirmed separately.

Customer and retention reporting for MOT and service reminder performance, engagement and response visibility, and retention follow-up—not general financial reporting or a full garage management system.
A complete small-workshop system with Essential Reporting across sales, invoices, payments, debtors, VAT, estimates/quotes, jobs, customers and vehicles, basic parts and supplier purchase history, customer/job history, basic quote-to-job conversion, and CSV/accounting export. It is not full accounting or bookkeeping software.
For garages with technicians to organise and a workshop day to control. Builds on Lite with team allocation, workload, operational reporting, Vehicle Health Checks and automation.
Everything in Workshop plus wider business reporting: revenue trends and comparisons, attribution, customer lifetime value, work-type and vehicle profitability, key measures and targets, scheduled management reports, custom views, multi-site reporting and site comparisons.
A practical cost checklist
Ask each supplier for a like-for-like monthly and first-year estimate. Include VAT, the number of users, setup, data export and migration, payment or messaging charges, vehicle data, storage, support, contract length and any website or online booking work. Third-party or usage-based services can have allowances or extra charges, so check the terms for the package you are considering.
Keep initial setup separate from data migration. Check which records can be exported, what can be imported and whether historical records need to remain in an archive. Read the guide to switching garage management software.
A workshop diary is not the same as customer-facing online booking. Confirm whether a website, booking setup or optional workshop-software integration is included or quoted separately. Compare the garage booking and diary software.

Straight answers
Common questions regarding the cost of UK garage management software.
UK garage management software costs vary by package, configuration and pricing model. TorqueOS offers Engage at £39/month for customer retention rather than a full GMS, Lite at £69/month for a complete small-workshop system, Workshop at £129/month for a growing team, Complete from £199/month for mature operational control, and Multi-site with tailored pricing. Assisted setup and data migration are separate services, quoted for the existing system and data scope.
Some providers charge per technician or per user. Every main TorqueOS package includes unlimited users, meaning there are no per-technician charges and the whole workshop can use the system.
Engage at £39/month provides customer-retention reminders and is not a full GMS. Lite at £69/month is the complete small-workshop system. When you upgrade, you stay on TorqueOS and keep your TorqueOS data—there is no system change or migration of that data.
