How a auto repair & garage runs on Alfa Decode
Running a garage means juggling cars on ramps, a parts counter, and a phone that never stops ringing. Alfa Decode's Field-Service edition gives every vehicle a proper job card: registration, make and model, odometer reading, and the reported fault captured at intake, with photos of existing dents and scratches so nothing is disputed at handover. Each job moves through a clear pipeline — received, diagnosing, in-repair, ready, delivered — so anyone can see what sits on which ramp without shouting across the floor.
Before a spanner is turned, you build a parts-and-labour estimate and send it for the customer's approval, so there are no arguments over the bill. Parts pull from your inventory and cost onto the job automatically, WhatsApp updates fire when the car is ready, and the same platform runs your accessory counter sales, VAT or GST, and each customer's full return history.
- Every vehicle's full service history in one place
- Customers approve estimates before you touch the car
- Bay status visible without walking the workshop floor
- Parts and labour costed straight onto the job card

Vehicle intake
Log registration, make, model and odometer, capture the reported fault, and photograph existing damage so the car's condition is on record.
- 2
Diagnose & estimate
Assign a technician, record the diagnosis, then build a parts-and-labour estimate and send it to the customer for approval before work starts.
- 3
In-repair
Move the job to in-repair, consume parts from stock onto the job card, and add labour lines as the technician works through the fix.
- 4
Ready & notify
Mark the vehicle ready and an automatic WhatsApp update tells the customer to collect, with the itemised bill attached.
- 5
Invoice & handover
Settle at the counter with split tender, apply VAT or GST, print or WhatsApp the invoice, and log any warranty on the repair.

Runs on your own counter and keeps billing with no internet — then syncs to the cloud automatically.

Auto Repair & Garage software — your questions
Will the software keep working if my internet goes down?
Yes. Alfa Decode is local-first and runs on your own device with no internet. You can open job cards and bill customers offline, and everything syncs to the cloud automatically once you are back online.
Does it handle GST in India and VAT in the UAE?
Yes. GST invoices and reports for India and VAT for the UAE are built in. Bill parts and labour into a compliant tax invoice, with the right tax applied for your market.
Can I bill both spare parts and labour on one invoice?
Yes. A job card consumes parts directly from your stock and adds labour charges, then bills both into a single accurate tax invoice, so customers get one clear bill for the whole repair.
Can I track which vehicles are in the workshop right now?
Yes. The live job board shows every vehicle by status, from received and diagnosing through in-progress, ready and delivered, so you can see at a glance which cars are still in the bay.
Does it keep the service history for each vehicle?
Yes. The built-in CRM stores full customer and vehicle history. Every past repair, part and invoice is on record, so returning customers are recognised and past work guides the next job.
Is it available on the cloud or on my own server?
Both. Choose Cloud as a subscription or On-Premise as a one-time licence with AMC, from the same product. A white-label option is also available if you want it under your own brand.
Can it track each vehicle's full repair history?
Yes. Every job card is linked to the customer and vehicle, so past faults, parts fitted, labour and invoices stay on record. When a car returns, you pull up exactly what was done last time and any warranty still running.
Does it handle both the workshop and the parts counter?
It does. The same app runs job cards for repairs and a counter POS for selling accessories, oils and parts. Stock is shared, so a part sold over the counter or fitted to a car draws down the same inventory with weighted-average costing.
How do estimates and customer approvals work?
You build a parts-and-labour estimate on the job card and send it to the customer for approval before starting. Work only proceeds once they agree, which protects you from disputes and unpaid jobs when a bill comes as a surprise.
Will it keep working if the internet drops in the workshop?
Yes. Alfa Decode is offline-first, so billing, job cards and stock keep running on the local machine with no connection. Once you are back online it syncs everything to the cloud automatically, with no lost tickets.
