Choosing garage software isn't just about price. Ask these 5 questions first:
1. Can my team use it without training?
If it needs a manual, it's not built for a busy garage.
2. Does it work on mobile?
Your staff isn't sitting at a desk — it needs to work standing up, one-handed.
3. How long does setup actually take?
Days or weeks is a red flag. It should be hours.
4. Does it handle job cards, invoicing, and inventory together?
Juggling separate apps defeats the purpose.
5. What happens to my data if I stop using it?
Always confirm you can export your records anytime.
Autodots was built with these exact questions in mind — simple, mobile-first, and set up in a day.
If you're currently evaluating options, run any software you're considering through this checklist first.
