For independent auto repair shops

Run your garage by voice. Keep the paperwork clean.

NorthGarage AI is the admin assistant your shop can talk to. Check in vehicles, track active jobs, capture photos — and turn spoken notes into clean invoice drafts you review before they go anywhere.

The daily grind

The work isn't the hard part. The admin is.

Phones ring while hands are full

Customers call for updates while every tech is under a car. Callbacks pile up.

Notes live everywhere

Paper scraps, texts, a whiteboard nobody trusts. Details fall through.

Photos lost in the camera roll

Damage shots and worn parts end up buried between family photos.

Invoices happen after hours

The owner retypes the whole day from memory at 9 PM. Parts and labor get missed.

What NorthGarage does

The shop admin layer you can talk to.

01

Write it up

Check in the vehicle, speak the work as it happens, and get a structured invoice draft — parts, labor, and notes in the right fields.

  • Vehicle check-in with photos & VIN
  • Voice notes become invoice lines
  • You review before anything is sent
02

Keep every job in view

An active cars board shows what's on the lift, what's waiting on parts, and what's ready for pickup — with photos and history attached.

  • Active cars board
  • Tasks and follow-ups for the crew
  • Job history that stays clean
03

Know where the money is

Cash, card, supplier debt and parts spending in one calm view — built for an owner-operator, not an accounting department.

  • Daily cash & finance view
  • Supplier and parts debt tracking
  • Contacts for clients & suppliers
Built for real crews

Speaks your shop's language.

Crews are multilingual — your software should be too. Speak notes in English, Ukrainian, French or mixed shop-talk, and the paperwork still comes out clean and professional in English. The interface itself works in 13 languages.

  • Voice notes in your language, invoices in your customer's
  • Interface in 13 languages, including French, Spanish, Punjabi and Ukrainian
  • Technical shop vocabulary understood, not garbled

How it works

From drop-off to clean paperwork.

  1. 01

    Check in the vehicle

    Plate or VIN, photos, customer, the complaint — a minute at drop-off.

  2. 02

    Work from the active cars board

    Everyone sees what's on the lift and what's waiting.

  3. 03

    Speak notes as work happens

    Parts used, labor time, what you found — say it, don't type it.

  4. 04

    Review before it becomes paperwork

    Every draft waits for your eye. Nothing goes out on its own.

  5. 05

    Keep the trail clean

    Photos, notes and history stay attached to the job — findable next visit.

Who it's for

Built for small shops, on purpose.

NorthGarage is made for independent auto repair shops with 1–10 people in Canada and the US — where the owner is also the service advisor, the parts manager and the bookkeeper. It's not dealership software cut down. It starts from the owner-operator's day.

  • Independent shops, 1–10 staff
  • Owner-operator reality, not dealership complexity
  • Works alongside how your shop already runs
Control & safety

Your shop stays in control.

Review before it's customer-facing

Drafts are drafts. An invoice leaves the shop only after you approve it.

Supports your staff, doesn't replace them

NorthGarage handles retyping and chasing — the judgment stays with your people.

Your data is your shop's

Customer and job data is stored securely and isn't shared or sold.

No rip-and-replace

Start with check-in and voice notes. Keep the rest of your process as is.

Pricing

Simple pricing for small shops is coming.

We're onboarding a limited group of pilot shops first. Pilot shops get hands-on setup, direct access to the team, and preferred early pricing when plans launch.

Spend less time chasing admin. Run a calmer shop.
