garajiz● Body and paint shops
Body shop software: nobody gets lost on a long job.
Body and paint work takes days, sometimes weeks. When the car arrives you photograph the damage and mark the panels on the diagram; while the car waits for parts, is in the paint booth or being reassembled, the customer sees where it is from the tracking link.
01 Headaches you leave behind
What does it solve?
Photos taken at check-in stay on the work order with the date and time.
As the stage changes, the customer's tracking page updates itself.
Cars at the “waiting for parts” stage show up separately in the list.
02 From the workshop
This is how a body shop's day goes.
In the morning a damaged car arrives on a tow truck, in the afternoon the customer asks “how much will it be?”, the next day parts are ordered and the car waits in the corner for a few days. Then come panel straightening, filler, primer, the paint booth, reassembly and polishing. The job passes from one technician to another; usually nobody notes who did what.
In Garajiz every car is tied to a single work order. Check-in photos, the body diagram, parts and labour items, prices collected from suppliers and payments build up on the same record. Everyone in the workshop sees which car is at which stage in the same list; the owner knows the status without waiting at the door.
Telling insured and uninsured customers apart is one of the things body shops deal with most. Garajiz doesn't connect to an insurance company or assessor system. You write details like the claim number and assessor's name in the work order notes, and handle the price and customer approval through the normal quote flow. For high-value uninsured jobs, payment on credit with instalments and promissory notes is recorded too.
03 Step by step
How does it work?
Check-in and photos
Plate, mileage, fuel level and photos of the damaged areas are added to the work order from the phone.
Body diagram
On the diagram in the inspection template, each panel is marked original, spot-repainted, repainted, repaired, replaced or dented/scratched; if you like, paint thickness (microns) is entered per panel.
Quote and parts
Parts and labour items are written; for missing parts, prices are collected from suppliers with a WhatsApp link. The customer approves the quote from a link.
Delivery stage by stage
Waiting for parts, in repair, quality check, ready… Every change shows on the customer's tracking page; at delivery, payment is taken from the same work order.

No more “what's happening with my car?” calls: the tracking link
The customer sees which stage their car is at from the tracking link; nobody phones the shop.

05 Questions
Frequently asked.
Can I send insurance jobs from Garajiz to the insurance company?
No. There's no integration with insurance or assessor systems. You write the claim number and assessor's notes on the work order; you track the quote, approval and payment in Garajiz.
Where are damage photos stored?
They're uploaded to your shop's own Google Drive account and attached to the work order. Photos can be taken directly from the phone.
Can I record paint thickness readings?
Yes. The inspection template has a micron field for each panel; you type the value you read on your gauge. There's no direct connection to the gauge.
If the car waits a week for parts, what does the customer see?
They see on the tracking page that the car is at the “waiting for parts” stage; no need to call to find out.
Is there a separate plan for body and paint?
No. Garajiz is a single plan; body and paint shops and mechanical shops use the same features.
