Built for UK repair businesses

InvoiceFlow for Auto Repair Garages in Birmingham

Auto repair garages handle everything from oil changes and brake jobs to diagnostics, MOT preparation, and engine work. Every job needs a clear invoice — parts, labour, VAT — and your customers increasingly expect a professional PDF, not a handwritten receipt.

Birmingham logged over a million MOT tests in 2024 — and bodywork failures were the third most common reason cars didn't pass.

Competitive market — professional invoicing separates serious shops from the rest.

Birmingham is the UK's second city and home to the highest MOT testing volume outside London. With 15.5% of MOT failures attributed to bodywork — over 78,000 recorded cases in 2024 — demand for repair work is structural, not seasonal. The West Midlands also sits within reach of the Jaguar Land Rover supply chain, creating consistent trade in premium vehicle repairs.
