Every car you've ever touched. One book.

A customer-vehicle directory with VIN decoding, service history per vehicle, rego and CTP expiry tracking with auto-SMS reminders, digital vehicle inspections, SMS quote approval for mid-job variations, workshop bay scheduling, parts catalogue with supplier reorder, mechanic productivity reporting, and GST-compliant invoicing. Every workflow is built around the customer-vehicle relationship rather than generic jobs.

Yes. Rego & CTP Reminders is free on every plan. Each customer-vehicle stores the rego expiry date (and NSW CTP green-slip expiry if applicable). SMS + email reminders fire at 30, 14 and 3 days before expiry. Customers can reply BOOK to drop straight into your booking inbox. Covers every Australian state and territory.

The VIN decoder is backed by the NHTSA vPIC database with AU-market fallbacks for grey imports. For most Japanese, European and US-market vehicles you get make, model, year, variant, engine, transmission, fuel type and kerb weight. Some 1990s and earlier grey imports may still need manual entry.

The Roadworthy / Pink-slip Workflow app provides a digital inspection checklist tailored to each Australian state, VIC RWC, NSW pink-slip e-Safety, QLD Safety Certificate, TAS RVI, WA DVS, SA Inspection, NT MVR. Each line item supports photo evidence and pass/fail with a rework note, and every state produces a customer-signable PDF. The checklist, the photo evidence and the signed copy stay in OneBookPlus, and you lodge the inspection through your state's own system as you do now. NSW e-Safety lodgement has to go through TfNSW-accredited software used by an Authorised Inspection Scheme examiner.

Yes. The parts catalogue supports min/max stock levels per SKU with supplier mapping to Repco, Bursons, GPC (Burson), Bapcor, Castrol and other AU trade suppliers. When stock dips below the minimum, an auto-generated purchase order is emailed straight to the supplier. The delivery reconciles back to stock when you mark it received.

Yes. Every quote and invoice automatically calculates 10% GST and displays your ABN. The chart of accounts maps labour, parts, sublet and freight to AU-standard codes. Record a customer payment against an invoice and the receivable clears in the ledger. Quarterly BAS export is one click, GST collected and paid, ready for your accountant. Direct ATO PLS lodgement via the Tax Lodgement app is coming soon.

OneBookPlus replaces a stack, workshop management, accounting, marketing, reviews, with one platform from $0/mo (Free), $29/mo (Starter) or $69/mo (Growth). MechanicDesk is workshop-only and pairs with separate accounting; Workshop Software starts from $119/mo and bills accounting on top. Vendor prices verified 2 August 2026. OneBookPlus is built around the customer-vehicle history first, with invoicing, accounting, marketing and reviews on the same data, no exports, no double-entry.

The best fit for an independent Australian workshop keeps the customer-vehicle history, parts, invoicing and accounting on the same data rather than running a job tool plus a separate accounting package. OneBookPlus is built that way, VIN service history, rego and CTP reminders, digital inspections, parts re-ordering from AU trade suppliers, GST-compliant invoicing and one-click quarterly BAS, from $0/month. Workshop-specific rivals like MechanicDesk and Workshop Software cover the job side well but bill accounting separately; OneBookPlus bundles it.

Yes, with a workshop focus. ServiceM8, Tradify and AroFlo are general trades and field-service apps, great for dispatching generic jobs, but a car is just another job line and you still add Xero for accounting. OneBookPlus is built around the vehicle: VIN-keyed service history, rego/CTP reminders, roadworthy and pink-slip workflows, parts markup, plus invoicing, accounting, marketing and reviews on one platform. For a mechanic who wants vehicle records rather than generic job cards, it replaces the job app and the accounting tool together.
