General

What is Smartgenix?

Smartgenix is an innovative digital platform designed to simplify and streamline the process of booking and managing car repairs, servicing, MOTs, and recovery jobs. It provides a user-friendly interface where vehicle owners, garages, and recovery services can interact seamlessly.

How does SmartGenix work?

It's quite simple really. As a customer, you download the app, find a garage or recovery service that suits your needs, book a job, and follow the job progress all within the app. If you're a garage or recovery service, you can manage all your bookings, job statuses, and payments in one convenient place.

How do I download the SmartGenix app?

What is garage management software?

Garage management software runs the day-to-day of a vehicle workshop in one place: bookings, customer and vehicle records, quotes, job cards, invoicing, payments and reminders. Smartgenix is cloud garage management software for UK garages, with a free customer app so drivers can book, approve quotes and pay online.

Does Smartgenix send MOT reminders?

Yes. Smartgenix automatically emails drivers 14 days and 7 days before their MOT or service is due, for every car they have added with reminders turned on. Reminders bring drivers back to your garage, helping you keep repeat MOT and service work instead of losing it to competitors.

Can my customers book online?

Yes. Customers book MOTs, services and repairs 24/7 through the Smartgenix app for iOS and Android or the web portal. They choose the service, add details and pick a date; you see the booking straight away on your dashboard and can send quotes and updates back to them.

Is there a contract or a free trial?

There is no minimum contract. Every Smartgenix plan starts with a 28-day free trial, is billed monthly by card, and can be cancelled at any time. You add a card when you sign up, and the monthly fee starts when the trial ends.

Can I take card payments?

Yes. Smartgenix takes card payments through Stripe, one of the world's leading payment processors, and also records cash payments. Card details are never stored on Smartgenix servers. Payments, quotes and invoices sit against each job, so your revenue tracking is automatic.

Can I manage more than one garage?

Yes. Smartgenix Enterprise manages multiple garage locations from a single dashboard: appointments, jobs, payments, staff and customers across every site. Enterprise pricing is tailored to the number of locations you run, so contact our team for a quote.
