Garage Software for Small Workshops

This page is for owner-operators and 1–2 ramp independent garages deciding whether a small-workshop package fits. TorqueOS Lite provides the complete basic tools for a small workshop without requiring the deeper team controls intended for a larger operation.

A clear starting point for a smaller workshop. Start with what you need. TorqueOS grows with your workshop. Lite is £69/month + VAT. See how it fits your working day with a 14-day Lite trial; our team sets up access manually.

You need to manage customers, build quotes, turn them into jobs, and get paid. That is the Lite package. As your business grows, you can upgrade to Workshop or Complete without changing systems or remigrating TorqueOS data.

Assisted data migration from another provider into TorqueOS is assessed separately based on your existing system.

What this part of the workshop needs

TorqueOS is available now. Start with what you need and add more as your workshop grows. Engage (£39/month) is retention-only; Lite (£69/month) is for a small garage; Workshop (£129/month) is for team control; and Complete (from £199/month) is for the whole operation. Multi-site plans are tailored; extras are scoped separately. See full pricing.

The essentials for your workshop day

Running a smaller workshop calls for a clear view of the day's work, without adding controls intended for a much larger team. TorqueOS Lite is the complete small-workshop level of our garage management software, focused on the work an owner-operator or 1–2 ramp independent garage needs to move through each day.

The day starts with a phone call: add the booking to the workshop diary, then create a digital job card when the vehicle arrives. Once the work is done, send the invoice and take payment. Finally, customer reminders help bring your customers back.

What TorqueOS Lite does (and doesn't) mean

TorqueOS Lite gives you a commercial record and Essential Reporting for your business: sales, invoices, payments, debtors, VAT, estimates and 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. Workshop adds more team control and operational reporting when your garage needs it.

We discuss the exact boundaries and current capabilities of the package in your demo. If you grow into needing the Workshop package, you simply upgrade—no data migration required. Learn how Lite handles bookings and the workshop diary and invoicing and payments.

This page explains the small-garage product fit, rather than comparing every system or UK-specific requirements. For those questions, see the GMS buyer’s checklist, UK software considerations or software cost guide.

Switching to a modern setup

If you are moving away from older software or paper diaries, switching garage management software can seem daunting. We guide you through the process, and assisted data migration can be assessed separately. Compare our garage management software and package pricing to see what fits your business size.
