Garage Support Newsletter UK Ed 3 April 2021

In the news this month...

Time management, workflow, stock, technicians are all part of running a busy workshop. Managing them all in one place would be even better. If you currently don’t have a Garage Management System then you should talk to us about CarSys.

We’ve updated our cloud-based Garage Management Software (GMS), CarSys to improve the software’s data configuration, service payment breakdown and accounting solution integration. Launched last year and exclusively available to customers of LKQ Euro Car Parts, CarSys is a user- friendly software platform that allows garages to maximise billable time, streamline the way they work and enhance the customer experience they offer. As well as using Haynes Pro data to calculate prices and schedule jobs in the workshop, technicians can now access a vehicle’s engine oil and spark plug

quantities via a simple VRM lookup – helping them order the right parts, faster. To help garages manage payments more efficiently and deliver a professional customer experience, CarSys also now includes the option for both parties to view a job’s payment breakdown, along with a record of which payments have been taken and what is still owed. And in addition to Sage and QuickBooks, the software can also now sync with leading accounting solution Xero.

For £49.99 per month, garages can access CarSys for an unlimited number of users. Other features include a direct link to the full LKQ Euro Car Parts catalogue, facilitating 24/7 online parts look up and quick ordering through its Omnipart trade website.

Using a cloud-based solution means there is no need for installation, and all information is saved securely and automatically. The system is accessed through the CarSys website and supported by a mobile app, meaning technicians can dip in and out between jobs.

What is CarSys CarSys is garage management software that helps you run your workshop with greater efficiency and visibility of everything in one place. As it is cloud-based you can run your business from anywhere – the garage itself, home, on the go or even keep track while on holiday! Being able to manage technician time, availability, contact customers, manage stock and order parts in one solution is why you should consider CarSys.
