What’s new in GarageHub
Every change we ship, newest first. Updates are additive: they never move or delete your records, and the owner can restore any earlier saved version of the workspace.
Bay mode and offline photo uploads
- A tablet layout for the bay: pick a technician, then start and stop timers, open the inspection or move the job along with one tap.
- Inspection photos taken while Wi-Fi is down stay on the device and upload when the connection returns.
Suppliers and purchase orders
- Keep a supplier list and build purchase orders from the reorder list.
- Receive an order in part or in full; stock and part cost update and the receipt is recorded as a stock movement.
For your bookkeeper
- A period sales summary with sales tax by rate and payments by method.
- Invoice and customer files to import into your accounting software.
Shop KPIs
- Car count, average repair order, effective labor rate, gross margin, approval rates and more, compared with the previous period.
- Export CSV on every report table, plus a one-file KPI summary.
Help, setup checklist and What's new
- A first-week checklist on the dashboard walks a new shop through setup.
- A Help page with step-by-step guides for everyday jobs.
- This changelog, also published at garagehub.io/changelog.
Scheduled Resources articles
- Future-dated articles wait in a queue and publish automatically on their dates.
- Published articles never link to an article that is not live yet.
Customer texting (setup required)
- Text customers from your shop's own number once a messaging provider is connected.
- Replies, delivery status and STOP opt-outs are handled automatically.

Online booking requests
- Share a booking link; customers request a day and time without signing in.
- Requests appear on the Schedule with Accept and Decline.
Parts used on work orders
- Link part lines to inventory; completing the work order deducts stock and records the movement.
- Shortfalls are reported so you can reorder.
Technicians, labor cost and plans
- Technician roster with hourly cost, working days and time off; the bay board flags a technician who is off.
- Job profitability now includes labor cost and net margin.
- Free and Pro plans with clear limits; Pro has no per-user fees.
Searchable pickers and a new look
- Type to find a customer, vehicle or work order, with an Add new option at the top.
- Cleaner type, rounded dialogs and the four-colour GarageHub mark.
Bay board, week view and job profitability
- Assign appointments to bays and technicians; overlaps are flagged, never blocked.
- Parts cost on lines and a profitability report per invoice.
Inspection photos and customer summaries
- Upload inspection photos and share a customer summary link without prices or technician notes.
Customer estimate review
