Business automations for auto mechanics.
Auto repair shops-grade business automations, shipped by people who've done it before.
Reminders timed to each car's WoF, which from 1 November 2026 moves to every two years for many 4 to 14 year old vehicles.
What business automations actually do
The small repetitive things that quietly eat your week - done automatically. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing auto repair shops the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.
What you get
We'd call the engagement a success when auto repair shops are using the system without thinking about us.
- Audit your existing workflow before automating anything
- Built on n8n, Make, or custom code - whatever fits
- Real monitoring and alerts when something breaks
- Documentation your team can actually read
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No annual contracts
The pattern across most auto repair shops we work with.
Mechanics quote from underneath a car and answer the phone from underneath a car, and one of those always loses.
Booking, quoting, and parts follow-up are the admin layer that decides how many cars a workshop can turn over in a week.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Questions auto repair shops ask
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days.
Is business automations worth it for a smaller auto repair shop?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
What tools do you build business automations on?
For business automations we usually reach for n8n, Make, Zapier, Vercel Functions, Cloudflare Workers. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your auto repair shop team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Will it work alongside Fergus or Tradify?
We build around the tools you already run instead of replacing them. Fergus and Tradify are both job management tools built in New Zealand for trades.
