Free garage software in the UK
Free plans exist, but they usually hold back the things that bring customers back: reminders, quotes and invoicing. Here is what to check, and how the main options compare.
What to check before you choose
- Are MOT reminders included, or only on a paid plan?
- Does reg lookup cost extra per lookup?
- Can customers book online, and is that on a higher plan?
- Can you export all your data, any time, without a contract?
- Which things are charged per use, such as SMS?
GarageFree includes all of the first four free. SMS is pay as you go and off by default.
