Look like a real shop — right from your phone. GarageInvoice is the estimate and invoice app built for solo and mobile mechanics. Scan a VIN, build a professional estimate in seconds, and text your customer a link they approve from their own phone. No paperwork, no chasing, no looking small. HOW IT WORKS • Scan the VIN — point your camera and we decode the year, make, and model. • Build the estimate — add parts and labor, snap photos, watch the total add up. • Text it — send a branded estimate link in one tap. • Get approved & paid — your customer taps Approve, then you invoice and take card payment. BUILT FOR MECHANICS WHO WORK FROM A TRUCK • Professional estimates and invoices with your shop name • VIN scanner and instant vehicle lookup • Photos and line-item pricing • Customer approvals by text — nothing for them to install • Invoices and card payments • Calendar and scheduling • Service reminders and automatic review requests • Works offline in the garage — syncs when you're back online ENGLISH & ESPAÑOL The whole app — estimates, invoices, and the link your customer approves — works in natural Spanish, not robot Spanish.
