Paper job cards go missing
A handwritten card can sit on a ramp, in a car, or under a pile of invoices. The customer history then disappears when you need it most.

Digital Job Sheets and Paperless Job Cards for Garages
Digital job sheet software for UK garages: replace paperless job cards, record vehicle job card notes, print job cards and turn completed work into invoices.
What it handles
Replace paper job cards with a connected workshop record.
- ✓ Create digital job sheets from booked workshop jobs
- ✓ Record complaint, diagnosis, work carried out, parts and labour
- ✓ Print a professional garage job card when paper is still needed
Why it matters
Built for the notes, parts and follow-ups that actually happen in a garage.
A job sheet should be the place the work lives. Not a loose card, not a WhatsApp message, and not a half-remembered note when someone starts the invoice at the end of the day.
Invoices get rebuilt twice
If parts, labour and notes are written separately, someone has to type the same job back into the invoice later.
Useful notes are not connected
Customer complaints, technician notes, faults and health checks are more valuable when they stay attached to the same vehicle record.
How Mechanics Hub helps
Keep the workflow connected from first note to invoice.
✓ Job sheets sit inside the job, so the diary, customer, vehicle and work record stay connected.
✓ Technicians can record the request, diagnosis, completed work, internal notes, approval notes, parts and labour in one place.
✓ Printable job cards are available for workshops that still want paper beside the vehicle.
✓ When the job is ready, the invoice can be built from the work record instead of starting from a blank page.
Best fit for
- ✓ Independent garages moving away from paper job cards
- ✓ Workshops that want job history tied to each vehicle
- ✓ Garages that need a cleaner handover from technician notes to invoice

FAQ
Common questions about digital job sheets.
What is a digital job sheet?
A digital job sheet is the workshop work record for a job. It stores the customer request, diagnosis, work carried out, technician notes, parts, labour and invoice-ready lines without relying on loose paper job cards.
Can I still print a garage job card?
Yes. Mechanics Hub keeps the job sheet digital, but you can print a clean internal garage job card or vehicle job card when a technician wants a paper copy beside the vehicle.
Does stock reduce when parts are added to a job sheet?
No. Stock is only deducted when the invoice is created, so draft job sheet changes do not accidentally reduce inventory.
Can job sheets help build invoices?
Yes. Job sheet lines can be copied into a draft invoice, keeping parts, labour, quantities and descriptions connected to the finished work.
