Repair costs
you can verify.
Upload any garage invoice. Every line checked against industry labour benchmarks, UK parts prices, and regional rates — so you can approve van repairs with data behind you.
Repair costs are a black box. Nobody's checking.
Your Transit's off the road. The garage calls — £1,200 for a clutch kit and flywheel. Van's losing you £500 a day, so you approve it. But that job has an industry benchmark time of 5.2 hours. They billed 8. Across 10 vans and 30 repairs a year, those gaps add up to thousands. Not because the garage is dishonest — because nobody's checking the numbers.

Built for how trade businesses actually work.
Not another complex management platform — just the bit you actually need: checking whether the repair costs are right.
Vehicle Cost Dashboard
Every vehicle. Every garage. Every invoice. One view. Filter by reg, garage, date, or assessment. See which garages consistently price above benchmark and which are pricing competitively — so you can make better sourcing decisions over time.
Bulk Invoice Upload
Upload up to 20 invoices at once — photos, screenshots, or PDFs. Each checked independently. Traffic-light results so you focus on the ones that need attention.
Van-Calibrated Pricing
A Transit clutch isn't a Golf clutch. LCV-specific labour times and commercial vehicle multipliers — van quotes aren't compared against car data.
Book Time Verification
Every labour charge checked against published industry labour guides. If the benchmark is 1.5 hours and they billed 3, you'll see that clearly.
Parts Price Benchmarking
See what those parts cost across budget, mid-range, and OEM tiers. Know whether you're paying a fair markup or a 200% one.
Regional Rate Calibration
Labour rates in Birmingham aren't London rates. We benchmark against your area so fair regional pricing doesn't get incorrectly flagged.
A quick example. 10 vans.
Take a business with 10 vehicles, each averaging 3 repairs a year. Here's what the data looks like when you start checking invoices.
Estimated annual impact
Conservative estimate. Actual savings depend on your garages and repair patterns.

Will this damage my relationship with my garage?
No. You're verifying, not accusing. Most garages respect customers who check the numbers — it's professional due diligence. And when the price is fair, the report confirms it, which builds trust both ways.
