Always shipping.
Most garage software stopped changing years ago. Autera gets better most weeks, often several times a week, and every change lands here in plain English. Something new arrives, and nothing moves under you.
Manager reports in Analytics
Technician productivity (hours clocked vs hours sold), a live workshop flow view showing what is waiting on approval or parts, and a parts margin report that flags parts billed with no markup. All built from data you already enter.
The daily manager report
One email each morning: yesterday’s jobs and takings, this morning’s queue, unpaid invoices and how each technician performed. You pick the hour and the inbox, and quiet days send nothing. Opt in from Analytics or Settings.
Autera for tint, PPF and detailing studios
A dedicated home for the visual trades: booking menus shaped like a price list, timestamped check-in photos that settle was-that-scratch-there disputes, and before and after links that sell the next job.
Every free trial now unlocks everything
Whichever plan you pick at signup, your 14-day trial runs with the full Workshop feature set: website, online booking, review booster, job tracker and health checks. You still only pay for the plan you chose.
Honest trial-end emails
Before a trial ends you now get told exactly which features stop and which stay, including whether your published website would go offline. No surprises either direction.
Email typo catcher
Type a customer address ending .con or gmial.com and Autera suggests the fix before the email ever bounces. On every customer form, the booking page, and in the mobile app.
Custom domains for garage websites
Point your own domain at your Autera-built website. £5 a month or £48 a year once connected, and we do the setup for Workshop plans.
Faster support behind the scenes
Our support desk now sees your WhatsApp messages and tickets the moment they arrive, with no refresh lag. You should feel it as quicker replies.
Your garage website, built in
Every Workshop plan now includes a full website at yourname.getautera.com: themes, layouts, photo galleries, posts, testimonials, a map, an enquiry form and online booking. Edit it live, preview drafts safely, publish when you choose. Built in one day, refined all week.
Dealer-grade service certificates
Hand customers a certificate worth keeping in the glovebox: your branding, the work done, the date, the mileage.
Bounce warnings on customer emails
When an email to a customer bounces, the customer record shows a warning chip so you find out at a glance, not weeks later.
Live customer job tracker
Send customers a no-login link that answers the phone call for you: where their car is in the process, updated as your team works. The "is my car ready?" page.
Parts price-file import
Upload your factor’s price list and quote from real prices. The importer reads the common formats and maps columns for you.
App 1.7.11
Fuel or charge level recorded on the job in and out, number plate entry that accepts every era of UK plate, and a draft invoice can now be marked paid on the spot.
Dead email domains caught at signup
Sign up with a mistyped email domain and Autera notices immediately, instead of your welcome email silently disappearing.
Billing history that outlives the subscription
Cancel and come back and your invoices from us are all still there. Your paper trail is yours.
App 1.7.10
Stability and polish across the board, and job deletion moved to the desk where it belongs, so a pocket tap can never delete a job.
Opening hours, one source of truth
Set your hours once and every surface agrees: your public profile, your website and your booking page.
Photo capture links
Send a customer a link, they photograph the damage or the document on their phone, and it lands straight in the job folder. No app needed on their side.
WhatsApp support
Message Autera support on WhatsApp like you would a mate. Same team, faster channel.
App 1.7.9
Built on the new toolchain with faster startup and fixes throughout.
Readability and reliability day
Status badges you can actually read, a calendar that stopped cutting itself short, cleaner printing, and a round of security hardening you will never see but benefit from daily.
Free data migration
Moving from another system or a notebook? Send us what you have and we bring your customers, vehicles and history across for free.
Impossible registrations flagged
Type a reg that could never match a DVLA record and Autera says so while you can still fix it, instead of failing the lookup later.
The ledger goes back further than this page. It starts here in August 2026 and grows every week.
