Dealer workshop software, coming to carassessments.com.au
Dealer workshop software is coming to carassessments.com.au as an optional module for dealers who run their own service bay. It will link service bookings, job cards and parts to the recon jobs and customers already in your account.
Job card, planned layout
| Labour, 1.5 hrs | $210 |
| Oil and filter | $85 |
| Brake pads, front | $140 |
| Job total | $435 |
Your workshop and your yard run on different systems
Recon work done in your own workshop ends up on a separate job card system, so the cost never makes it onto the car’s profit. Customers you sold a car to book their service somewhere else.
Two systems means double entry, and the customer history is split in half.
How it works
- 1
Booking, coming
Customers will book a service online, and past buyers will get service reminders from their sale.
- 2
Job card, coming
Labour, parts and technician clock-on will sit on one job card, with a vehicle health check sent to the customer for approval.
- 3
Linked to recon, coming
Internal jobs will link to the car’s recon, so workshop costs land on the per-car P&L.

What works today
Recon jobs with vendor, quote vs actual and invoice upload are live, and so are post-sale service reminders to past customers through the CRM and customer portal.
