Winter is here and car owners are busy preparing for the cold months ahead. Winter tyres are being purchased, good quality lights are being considered to combat the early nightfall and health checks are being carried out to ensure that their vehicle is ready for the cold snap.

There is no better time for garage owners to take a look at their own software to ensure they are utilising all necessary features to prepare for the winter rush. Autowork Online is the comprehensive web-based application that simplifies and manages every aspect of running a busy workshop and garage from raising quotes and job cards, a repair time database, MOT diary, a comprehensive workshop management diary, along with many more essential features. Together with TeamView, the paperless job and technician’s activity add-on for Autowork Online, Garages and Workshops can ensure they are fully prepared for winter and beyond.

Using TeamView, garages will be able to perform winter services utilising the in-built electronic vehicle health check (eVHC) functionality. Digitising health checks can ensure no unnecessary costs on paper and no additional time spent recording this information.

All information is passed back into Autowork Online where any potential jobs or replacement parts can be sold. Autowork Online also has a deferred work functionality. Deferred work ensures that any work that would have been deleted can be deferred to a later date ensuring sales aren’t lost.
