Garage Data Systems started to market their garage software Workshop Manager, in Ireland in May 2008. Now almost 100 Irish garages, crash repairers, car dismantlers, recovery operators and motor factors use this flexible system to help them successfully manage their businesses.

The company aims to supply a very powerful system for quick and easy production of invoices, service histories, estimates and parts control at a very affordable price. It currently costs £395 for a Lifetime Licence.  

One enthusiastic user, Larry Newman of Newman Auto Body, Naas, says ‘ Workshop Manager is excellent, especially for estimates. I can change them very easily and convert them to jobs or invoices. You can email estimates and invoices to insurance companies and customers directly from the system. I would recommend it for any Crash Repairer, especially as it so cheap compared to other systems that we looked at.’  

Ger Collins of Bavarian Auto Technik in Abbeyfeale says ‘I think Workshop Manager is fantastic. The more we use it the better the benefit we get from it.’

Ian Larmour, the Irish distribute for Garage Data Systems says, ‘Over 25% of our customers have come to us by recommendation from other users.’ For more information contact Ian on 01-246-0900.
