Por qué los talleres siguen en Excel y tres herramientas de presupuesto
GarageOffice gestiona el taller, iCar la flota, PDF manuales al cliente — ninguno cubre vehículo + presupuesto + historial en Mi cuenta Woo nativo.
The WordPress garage problem
Too many tools, zero unified journey.
A garage shouldn't need three workshop licences and a spreadsheet on day one.
- GarageOffice: workshop — client outside Woo My Account
- iCar: fleet — outside Woo quotes and independent garage preset
- Manual PDF: Word/print — no traceable history
- Excel: paper log — no client vehicle record
- Native WooCommerce: zero vehicles or repair history
- No industry preset or JSON export for agency handoff
The Mécanicien Devis answer
Freemium garage journey, native Woo checkout.
MCD follows the shop flow: vehicle, quote, repair history and validation — 4 presets and JSON export without a fragmented stack.
- Vehicle records (plate, VIN, km) linked to Woo customer
- Quote lines labour + parts — native Woo products
- Repair history — client My Account
- Woo checkout — deposit or shop balance
- 4 presets: Independent garage, MOT centre, Body shop, Pro fleet
- wp mcd status | list | preset | export
