For mechanical workshops
Mechanic workshop software built around the service bay
BayAutomate is built first for Australian mechanical workshops: log-book services, brakes, suspension, diagnostics and general repairs. Search by rego, pick a service template with its own time and parts, inspect on a phone, quote the findings, and invoice with GST, all without retyping the customer, vehicle or job. Technicians get a simple My Work screen. The front counter gets Today, the diary and a quote pipeline.
Early access: BayAutomate is onboarding Australian workshops now. Anything marked Coming soon or Planned isn't available yet. Everything else is included on every plan.
Mechanic-specific details
- Service templates set durations, labour and common parts for log-book services.
- Odometer, rego and VIN on every job, with service-due reminders driven by them.
- Brake pad and tread measurements in inspections, flagged pass, monitor or fail.
- Declined work stays on the vehicle and is followed up on the date you choose.

Questions
Does it handle log-book services?
Yes. Use service templates for each interval, with time, labour and parts preset. The manufacturer schedule itself isn't included.
