Drivers work safely around occupied hoist bays in a bright workshop

DIY Mechanic Bay Booking Software for Australia.

Hoist bays and flat bays booked separately, because a car that will not start again at four is not a problem the next booking should inherit.

The seized bolt is your afternoon.

A four-hour booking is a guess. When it turns into seven, the bay is occupied by a car that will not start and cannot be moved out of the way.

  • Hoist bays and flat bays are different

    Half the jobs people hire a bay for need a lift. Listing them separately stops a brake job being sent to the concrete space in the corner.

  • The bay is named on the booking

    Bay 2, not "a bay". When somebody runs over you can see exactly what is held and what is still free without walking the workshop.

  • Booked is booked

    A confirmed bay leaves the page immediately, so the Saturday hoist everybody wants cannot be sold to two owners at once.

Built for your workshop

Built for every kind of bay hire

Saturday brake jobs

Put the mechanic bay online at the price and length you set. Once confirmed, the exact hoist bay leaves the page before it can be promised twice.

Weekend restoration work

Repeat the same mechanic bay weekly or monthly on Free, stopping on the last date the familiar arrangement is meant to run.

Mobile mechanic bookings

Protect the full vehicle arrival window while genuine availability around it stays open.

Car-club mornings

Keep the organiser, two-post hoist and setup notes together so the person opening up is not rebuilding the job from messages.

Hard-stand service blocks

Close only the resources needed for the complete weekend job, leaving everything unrelated available.

Full-day hoist hires

Start a restoration block with an itemised quote for bay days and hoist hours, kept with the booking.

Jobs running longer

Move an owner to another bay and the payment taken and the hours agreed move with the booking.

Bay clean-downs

Block the exact period needed for bay clean-down, reopening the resource only when it is ready.

A list of quotes showing whether each is sent, viewed or accepted, and when it was last opened.

A restoration block is priced, not listed.

Bay days, hoist hours and any tooling on one itemised quote the owner approves online. What was agreed stays attached to the booking.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your bay hire business.

Online booking

List hoist, lift and hard-standing blocks only when the correct bay is free. A booked vehicle job removes that workshop space.

Scheduling

See vehicle arrivals, hoist time and bay clean-downs on one garage calendar, with the exact lift or flat bay on every booking.

Standing bookings

Repeat a restorer’s mechanic bay weekly or monthly on Free, ending after the final Saturday in the agreed project run.

One bay, one job

A booked bay leaves the page at once, so the hoist somebody paid for at eight is not also promised to a service at eleven.

Estimates

Itemise a weekend repair, lift time and agreed equipment in a quote, retaining the accepted garage plan for the booked day.

Email reminders

Email the hirer their bay, vehicle arrival time and workshop access notes before the car reaches the roller door for the booked day.

Customers

Keep each hirer’s vehicle jobs, bay choices and payment history together when the same project car returns for the booked day.

Team

Give the workshop manager one view of vehicles, lift bookings and bay turnovers before the first bonnet is opened for the booked day.

Payments

Record cash or transfer for a bay session on Free, or take the full bay hire fee by card as the lift bay is booked on Pro.
