Is PitlaneHQ too much for a small workshop?

Starter covers up to 5 users with the full workshop core for $109/mo inc GST. You only add modules if you need them.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. 14 days free with no credit card. Try an import during the trial.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in the browser on a desktop, an iPad on the bench or a phone. Native apps are on the roadmap.

Does it suit New Zealand workshops?

Yes, with limits. Tax is set per line, so 15% NZ GST works, but rego lookups cover Australian vehicles only and billing is in AUD.

When is PitlaneHQ not the right fit?

If you need a free plan (there is a 14-day trial, then a paid plan) or MYOB (invoices push to Xero or QuickBooks Online; MYOB is not yet available). Raise any must-have in a demo.

Independent workshops

Workshop software for independent workshops

You run the bays, answer the phone, order the parts and do the invoices at night. PitlaneHQ puts the jobs, diary, invoices and stock in one app, so a job is entered once and the paperwork follows it.

Start 14-day trial Book a demo

14 days free. No credit card. No lock-in contract.

One job card, from quote to invoice

Quote it, book it, work it, invoice it. The description and approved quote lines carry from the quote into the job and the invoice, so nothing is typed twice. Technician time, parts and inspection findings stay on the same job.

What a small team uses every day

Diary. The whole week on one screen. Drag to reschedule.
Quotes. Send quotes with photos and collect an electronic signature. An accepted quote becomes a booked job.
Invoices. GST invoices from the job, with part-payments and an edit trail. See who still owes you.
Stock. Parts with bin locations, supplier links and reorder thresholds.
Reminders. Service reminders by date or kilometres, by SMS or email. Completing a job can set the next one.
Rego lookup. Look up Australian vehicles by rego (billed per lookup).
Xero or QuickBooks. Eligible finalised invoices push across once connected.
