Updates

Today we’re announcing a significant update to our predefined services feature, designed to make your day-to-day work even smoother and more efficient.

What changed?

We’ve made major improvements to how you use predefined services when creating work orders. Here are the highlights of this update:

1. One-click add: You can now add your priority services to a work order in a single click. No more digging through menus or scrolling through long lists!
2. Service prioritization: We’ve introduced a prioritization system that puts your most-used services front and center. Your most important services are always within reach.
3. More customization: You now have more control over how your services are organized. Sort them by how often you use them, by category, or by whatever criteria work for you.

How do I use this new feature?

1. When creating a new work order, you’ll now see a “Priority services” section.
2. Simply click the service you want to add. It’s instantly added to your work order.
3. To adjust your priority services, go to your account’s services and check the “Set as priority services” box.

What’s next?

We’re always listening to your needs and working to make Mechmate the tool your shop can’t do without. This services update is one more step toward our goal of giving you the best management solution for your garage.

Let us know what you think of this new feature. Your feedback matters and helps shape where Mechmate goes next.

We’ve introduced a new feature that lets you view vehicle information directly in the interface, powered by NHTSA data. It gives you quick, easy access to essential details about the vehicles you service.

Future iterations are already planned, where we’ll enrich the available information even further to provide the most complete and accurate data possible. Our goal is to make Mechmate a true 360° solution, expanding the depth and reach of relevant information to help technicians work more efficiently.

To view a vehicle’s information, simply click the vehicle’s name from a work order.

We’re pleased to introduce our new pricing plans, designed to fit the varied needs of mechanical shops while keeping our freemium model. Here’s a rundown of the plans we offer:

STARTER plan: Free, with unlimited invoices, up to 3 active work orders, built-in payments, customer management, and a cross-platform app.

ESSENTIAL plan: Everything in the Starter plan, plus unlimited quotes, unlimited work orders, unlimited users, unlimited SMS and emails, reports, workflow, and services & products.
