Answer four quick questions about your workshop and get an honest, requirements-based ranking of the UK's leading garage management systems. We compare on the cost to actually use each system — flagging the features locked behind pricier tiers and paid add-ons — and score every system the same way, including our own.
This helps us match systems built for how you actually work.
Results are generated from each system's publicly published information and weighted only by your answers — not by who pays us. Torq'd is scored on exactly the same criteria as every other system. Always confirm current pricing and features directly with each provider before deciding.
Every system is measured against your answers using identical criteria. No provider pays for a higher score or placement.
If another system fits your needs better than Torq'd, it ranks higher. A finder that always picks its owner isn't worth using.
The advertised "from £X" is often a stripped-back entry tier. We compare the real cost to run a garage and show which features are gated behind pricier plans or paid add-ons.

There is no single "best" garage management system — the right choice depends on the size of your workshop, your monthly budget, and the features you genuinely need day to day. A busy MOT centre with several bays has very different needs from a mobile mechanic or a small independent, and a system that's perfect for one can be overkill (or underpowered) for another.
This finder helps you cut through the sales pitches. It weighs feature coverage, business size, budget and your priorities to produce a shortlist you can actually act on. Some systems publish clear pricing; others are quote-only — the tool flags that too, because pricing transparency matters when you're comparing options.
The biggest trap in this market is tiered pricing and paid add-ons. The "from £X/month" you see advertised is frequently a cut-down entry plan — to get online booking, reporting, multi-user access or technical data you often have to jump to a much pricier tier or buy bolt-ons. So this tool compares the real cost to actually run your garage, and it shows exactly which features are locked behind higher tiers. A system that includes everything at one flat price is a genuinely different proposition from one whose headline price unlocks very little — and the ranking reflects that.

Yes. Every system is scored against your answers using the same objective criteria — feature coverage, business-size fit, budget fit and your stated priorities. Capabilities and pricing come from each provider's own public information. No provider pays for placement, and Torq'd is scored on exactly the same basis as every competitor. If another system is a better fit for your needs, the tool will rank it above Torq'd.
The tool compares nine of the UK's leading garage management systems: Torq'd, Garage Hive, TechMan, Motasoft, Garage Data Systems (GDS), Dragon 2000, AutoPilot GMS, Auto Garage Network and Garage Assistant (GA4).
The on-screen ranking is completely free and requires no details. If you'd like the full downloadable PDF comparison report to keep or share, you provide your name and email so we can send it to you.
Each system's features and pricing are reviewed from their public websites periodically; the report states the review date. Pricing and features change often, so always confirm the current details directly with each provider before deciding.
