Garage Job Sheet Software for UK Garages
A digital job sheet replaces the paper job card — parts, labour, technician notes, inspection photos and customer authorisation all on one sheet that turns straight into the invoice when the job's done.
Definition
What is garage job sheet software?
Garage job sheet software replaces the paper job card that travels between the service desk and the workshop floor with a single digital job sheet. Instead of a docket that gets scribbled on, lost, or left in the wrong tray, every job lives on one screen that the whole team can see and update as the work happens.
The job sheet in Autex carries everything a paper card used to hold — vehicle details, parts, labour, technician notes — plus what paper never could: inspection results, photos of faults found, and a record of customer authorisation. When the work is finished, the same job sheet becomes the invoice, with nothing re-typed.
Because it's digital, the job sheet is never out of date. The service desk, the technician on the ramp, and the customer waiting on a quote are all looking at the same information, updated in real time.
What it does
What an Autex job sheet covers
Digital job cards
Every job starts as a digital job card the moment a car is booked in — no paper dockets lost on the workshop floor and no handwriting to decipher.
Parts & labour on the sheet
Everything fitted and done ends up on the job, so nothing gets missed off the bill.
Technician notes & time
Technicians clock on and off and add notes from the workshop, so you know what was found and how long each job really took.
Inspection sheets & photos
Vehicle health checks with photos of any faults — proof that helps the customer say yes to the work.
Customer authorisation
Customers approve extra work online before it goes ahead, so nobody starts a job they cannot get paid for.
Job sheet → invoice
Finished jobs become invoices in one click, with nothing re-typed — so you get paid faster.
On every job sheet
Everything captured on the digital job sheet
A paper job card only ever tells you as much as whoever filled it in bothered to write. A digital job sheet in Autex captures far more, automatically, and keeps it all attached to the job for good — searchable against the vehicle at any point in the future.
- The vehicle and its history
- Every part fitted
- Time spent on the job
- What the technician found
- Health check results
- Photos of faults found
- What the customer agreed to
- The final invoice

Who benefits most
Which garages gain most from digital job sheets?
Any garage still running on paper job cards feels the difference immediately. Dockets that used to go missing between the service desk and the ramp, notes that were illegible by the time they reached invoicing, and jobs that started before a customer had actually agreed to the cost — all of that disappears once the job sheet is digital.
Workshops that want photo and inspection evidence gain the most. Being able to show a customer a photo of a worn brake pad or a failed inspection point, attached directly to their inspection sheet, wins trust and authorised work in a way a verbal description on the phone never does.
And because the job sheet turns into the invoice automatically, garages that used to lose time re-typing completed jobs into a separate invoicing step get that time back — with fewer mistakes carried through from job to bill.
FAQ
Common questions about garage job sheet software
- What is garage job sheet software?
- Garage job sheet software replaces the paper job card with a digital one. Every job — parts, labour, technician notes, inspection results and photos — lives on a single digital job sheet that your whole team can see and update in real time, and which turns into the invoice once the work is done.
- Can mechanics add parts and time?
- Yes. Technicians update the job and clock their time from the workshop as they work, rather than filling in a paper docket after the fact. The job always reflects what has actually been done to the car.
- Can I attach inspection results and photos?
- Yes. Vehicle health checks and photos of any faults sit with the job, giving you proof to show the customer and a lasting record of the vehicle’s condition at that visit.
- Can the customer authorise work?
- Yes. When extra work is found, the customer can approve it online before you start, so there is never any dispute about what was agreed.
- Does the job sheet become an invoice?
- Yes. When the job is done, it becomes the invoice in one click, so nothing needs to be re-entered and you get paid sooner.
- Does it work on a workshop tablet?
- Yes. The job sheet is easy to use on a tablet on the workshop floor, so technicians can update it standing at the car.
