Workshop management software for mechanics in Australia & New Zealand
= a workshop that does its own paperwork.
- • One sentence: job card written, parts priced, customer invoiced
- • Clock on, off and onto jobs by voice
- • Hands on the car, never on a keyboard
Hi Miki, just finished the job on the Corolla. Charge the customer for the WoF, front brake pads and two tyres 205/55R16. Use the supplier descriptions.
Bay 2 Corolla: WoF passed, 2 tyres added. Say yes to send the $638.60 invoice to Aroha and a text telling her it's ready.
Yes.
Sent the invoice and the ready text.
Example. Made from one sentence.

Torqly is workshop management software for automotive workshops and mechanics in Australia and New Zealand, with service and support in both countries. It does job cards, WoF checksheets, inspections with photos, bookings, timesheets, invoices and Xero, and gets your workshop listed where AI assistants and Google look. Mechanics run it by talking to Miki, a voice assistant, through Bluetooth earbuds on the phone they already have. Every feature is in every package, and our team sets it up in person.
What it does
Every hour on paperwork is an hour you can't charge for.
Talk, don't type

Questions workshops ask
How much does workshop software cost in New Zealand?+
Torqly costs $119 a month for Solo, $199 a month for Workshop, $299 a month for Crew, $549 a month for Multi-site, $999 a month for Group, all plus GST, with every feature in every package. Paying yearly costs less a month. In-person setup is $80 + GST once, including the first hour.
Do my mechanics need new phones?+
No. Miki runs in the web browser on the Android phone or iPhone they already have, with Bluetooth earbuds or a headset. Nothing to install or pair: they open Miki and tap Start once. After that they say "Hi Miki", or press the headset's play/pause button, to talk.
Who sets it up?+
One of our team, in person. The setup fee of $80 + GST includes the first hour, travel included. Extra training is $80 + GST an hour, and you can book it when you sign up or on the day.
Is it approved by NZTA?+
The WoF checksheet follows NZTA's published checksheet specification. NZTA hasn't opened its system to software yet, so results are entered into VIC as you do today; Torqly will connect as soon as NZTA allows.
Will Torqly help us show up in ChatGPT or Google's AI answers?+
It helps, but nobody can promise it. Each AI looks in different places: Gemini uses Google Business Profile, ChatGPT and Copilot use Bing and Yelp, Siri uses Apple Business Connect, DeepSeek uses the web. Torqly prepares your details once and helps you list them in each place with the same name, address, phone, hours and services (we can do it with you at your setup visit). It also publishes a page AI can read, asks happy customers for Google reviews, checks your website isn't blocking AI, and tests whether Gemini names you for local questions. Listings take days to weeks to show up in AI answers.
What is the best workshop software for a small New Zealand garage that does WoFs?+
It depends on how you work, but Torqly is built for exactly that: a small NZ workshop doing WoFs, servicing and repairs. The WoF checksheet follows NZTA's specification, GST and Tyrewise fees are handled, it sends to Xero, and mechanics fill in job cards by talking instead of typing. Our team sets it up at your workshop.
More questions ▾Fewer questions ▴
Can mechanics fill in job cards by voice?+
Yes. With Torqly, mechanics talk to Miki through Bluetooth earbuds: "Hi Miki, front pads and two tyres on the Corolla." Miki writes the job card, prices the parts and checks with you before anything goes to a customer. Miki was tested on 338 voice clips, half with workshop noise added, in New Zealand, Australian, Indian and Filipino English, and in Chinese, Hindi, Korean and Vietnamese.
Does Torqly work with Xero?+
Yes. Invoices go to Xero, and you can upload your bank statement so Torqly suggests what each line pays for; you confirm.
How do I get my workshop to show up when people ask ChatGPT or Gemini for a mechanic near them?+
AI assistants mostly answer local questions from business listings and reviews, not from your website alone. Be listed on Google Business Profile (Gemini and Google Maps), Bing Places (ChatGPT and Copilot), Apple Business Connect (Siri) and Yelp, with the same name, address, phone, hours and services everywhere, and keep getting Google reviews. Torqly does the details once and walks you through each listing.
What are GEO and AEO?+
GEO (generative engine optimisation) and AEO (answer engine optimisation) mean making your business easy for AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Siri to find, understand and recommend, the way SEO does for Google search. For a workshop that mostly means consistent business listings, good reviews, a website AI is allowed to read, and clear facts about your services, hours and location. Torqly's "Get found" tools cover these.
Does Torqly work in Australia?+
Yes. Torqly is workshop software for mechanics and automotive workshops in Australia and New Zealand, with service and support in both countries. Prices are in AUD with 10% GST for Australian workshops, and your data stays in Australia or New Zealand.
What is the best workshop management software for a small mechanic shop in Australia?+
It depends on how you work, but Torqly suits small and growing mechanic workshops: job cards, inspections with photos, bookings, invoices and Xero in one place, and mechanics fill in job cards by talking to Miki instead of typing. Every feature is in every package, and our team sets it up in person.
Is there a voice assistant for mechanics?+
Yes. Torqly is workshop software you can talk to. Miki, the voice assistant for mechanics, listens through Bluetooth earbuds, so job cards are hands-free: say what you did and Miki writes the voice job card, prices the parts and checks with you before anything goes to a customer.
What is Torqly workshop AI?+
Torqly is AI workshop software for mechanics and automotive workshops in Australia and New Zealand. Its AI agent, Miki, is AI for mechanics: it listens through earbuds and writes job cards, prices parts, books jobs and prepares invoices, and checks with you before anything goes to a customer.
What is Torqly?+
Torqly is workshop management software for automotive workshops in Australia and New Zealand. Mechanics run it by voice with Miki, a voice assistant in their earbuds, and it handles job cards, inspections, bookings, invoices and Xero.
