LaneOps is the calm, reliable management system for independent garages, MOT centres and multi-bay workshops. Job cards, scheduling, AI receptionist, parts and invoicing — built by people who've worked the ramp.
Trusted by independent workshops across the UK
Open a job from a number plate. Photos, notes, timers and parts attach in one tap from the bay — no paperwork shuffled between the office and the ramp.
Drag-and-drop diary that respects ramp capacity, MOT slots and tech skillsets. Customers get text reminders so no-shows quietly disappear.
Send digital estimates customers approve from their phone. Parts margins, VAT and payment links are handled for you, so the office closes on time.
An intelligent receptionist that answers calls, books appointments and handles customer queries 24/7. It knows your availability, pricing and services — so no enquiry goes unanswered, even when you're under a car.
We benchmarked the established systems and rebuilt the lot around fewer clicks, plainer language and screens that work first time — on the ramp, at reception and on the sofa.
Paperless diary, live bookings, checklists and stock — on any device, with a layout techs actually like.
Autodata-style lookups at the ramp on phone, tablet or desktop. No second login, no extra tab.
Two-way sync with Xero, QuickBooks and Sage. Reconcile in minutes, not Sunday evenings.
Average invoice value, gross profit, tech efficiency — visualised in plain English, not pivot tables.
Dojo, Pay360, Payment Assist finance and major parts factors connected out of the box.
Run one site or twenty from a single login with centralised reporting, CRM and accounts.
Embed on your website or share a link. Slots respect your real diary, confirmations send themselves.
Tech-led VHCs with photos and traffic-light grading, attached to every jobsheet automatically.
Send estimates with photos by SMS or email. Customer taps approve — work starts straight away.
MOT, service, timing belt, follow-ups on advisories — every reminder sent without anyone remembering.
Pull the full DVSA history for any plate — pass/fail, mileage and next due date — in one click.
From the first reminder to a post-visit review request, every touchpoint is handled for you.
LaneOps was designed alongside the people who run independent garages — so the buttons land where the hands already are, and the reports answer the questions owners actually ask on a Friday afternoon.
“We moved off our old system in a weekend. By Wednesday the diary was fuller, the techs stopped chasing paper, and we billed an extra three jobs we would've forgotten about.”
No setup fees. Free data migration from Techman, Garage Hive and most spreadsheets.
For solo techs and one-ramp workshops finding their feet.
The standard kit for busy independents and MOT centres.
Groups, dealer service departments and franchise networks.
