Mobile mechanic software for Australian businesses
Quote the job at the kerb from your price book, book it in before the bonnet's back down, and have the invoice paid before the van's packed up. All of it from your phone, all of it on one flat price.
Quotes that itemise labour, parts and the call-out
A line item is a rate times a quantity, so hourly labour is your rate times the hours, parts go on as their own lines at your prices, and the call-out fee sits on its own line where the client can see it. Fixed-price the logbook services, hourly the diagnostics: both are just lines.
Your licence numbers, on every document
Mechanical repair licensing differs by state: in New South Wales a mobile repair business needs a repairer licence through NSW Fair Trading, while Queensland has no general repairer licence, and safety certificates sit with Transport and Main Roads' approved examiner scheme. Air-con work needs an ARC refrigerant handling licence anywhere in the country. Put the label and number in your settings once and it shows on every quote, invoice and share link.
Fixed prices at the kerb, off your service menu
The trade's trust marker is a fixed price before the spanners come out. Load your minor and major services, brake jobs and battery swaps as saved items with prices attached, and quoting the next job is picking lines from a list in the driveway, not guessing numbers on the spot.
Regulars and fleet accounts
The repeat work is real: the regulars who come back every six months, and the small business running four utes that wants them serviced at their yard. Keep a fleet customer as one client with every contact under it, and every job lands against the right record with one place to invoice.
Invoices that chase themselves
Turn the accepted quote into a GST-ready invoice in a couple of taps. Every invoice carries a share link with your bank details and PayID, so the client can pay the moment they open it. Automatic overdue reminders chase the money so you don't have to make that awkward call.
Book the next one before you leave
Line the day's jobs up on the calendar and send the client an invite that lands in their inbox, so the booking's confirmed before you've left the street. When a regular rings up again, the next job is two taps against the same client.
Bring your client list with you
Import your clients from a CSV or straight out of Cashflow Manager with your account codes kept intact, and export invoices as a CSV formatted for Xero or MYOB for your bookkeeper.

Frequently asked questions
- What's the best mechanic software for a mobile mechanic?
- It depends where you work. Most mechanic software and car mechanic software is built for fixed workshops: bays, job cards and a parts counter. jobmate247 is built for the mobile operator: fixed-price quotes off your own service menu, scheduling, invoicing and payment links in one place. A$35 a month flat, no per-user fees.
- Can I charge a call-out fee, hourly labour and parts on the same invoice?
- Yes. A line item is a rate times a quantity, so hourly labour is your rate times the hours, the call-out fee is its own line, and every part goes on at your price with the quantity beside it. The client sees exactly what they're paying for, and a fixed-price service is just one line instead.
- Can I show my repairer licence or ARC licence on invoices?
- Yes. jobmate247 has two licence display slots in settings, each a label and a number, shown on your PDFs and public share links. Licensing depends on your state: New South Wales licenses repair businesses through NSW Fair Trading, Queensland has no general repairer licence, safety certificates sit with Transport and Main Roads' approved examiner scheme, and air-con work needs an ARC refrigerant handling licence anywhere in Australia. Fill the slots with whichever numbers your work carries.
- Isn't mechanic software all workshop systems with parts inventory?
- Most of what ranks for workshop software or auto repair software is built for a fixed shop: bays and hoists, job cards against a vehicle database, parts stock, digital inspections. That's a different business to one mechanic and a van. jobmate247 runs the money side of a mobile mechanic business: quotes, the calendar, invoices and reminders, without the workshop features you'd never open.
- Does jobmate247 do vehicle records, service history or parts inventory?
- No, honestly, none of those. There's no vehicle database, no service-history records and no parts stock module, because jobmate247 is one login for the person who runs the business. Put the rego and model in the job title and it's there on the quote, the invoice and your job list. If you're running a workshop with bays and a parts counter, a workshop platform will suit you better.
- How do fixed-price quotes from a price book work?
- Load your services as saved items with prices attached: minor service, major service, front brake pads and rotors, battery supply and fit. Quoting at the kerb is picking lines from that list and hitting send, and the client gets a share link they can accept on their phone.
- What does jobmate247 cost?
- A$35 per month flat, GST inclusive. No per-user fees, no limits on jobs, quotes or invoices, and no job credits to run out of halfway through the month.
- Do I need to install a mechanic app?
- No. jobmate247 runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, so there's nothing to download and nothing to update. If you've been searching for a mechanic app, this works the same way, minus the app store. Add it to your home screen and it opens just like an app.
