ashdub. Garage · websites and workshop software

Your garage website, and the workshop behind it.

AshDub builds the premium website your customers start from, with registration look-up, services and enquiries, and the Garage app your team runs the day in: estimates, approvals, job cards and customer updates. One partner, one platform.

01 · Website to workshop

One platform, both sides of the counter

Your customers start on your website. Your team picks it up in Garage.

We build your garage's public website, registration first, and connect it to the workshop: the customer gives their registration, picks a service and leaves a message, and the garage receives one useful enquiry, ready for the next workshop step.

    One useful enquiry

    The registration, vehicle, service and message arrive together in your AshDub enquiry record.

  4. Set up with you

    Into the workshop

    We connect the journey with you, so the front desk carries the same details into Garage instead of retyping them.

Turning a website enquiry into a Garage customer, vehicle and job isn't automatic today. We set up how the details move for each garage, and the front desk confirms them.

Case study

Meet His & Hers Motors.

An independent Jaguar and Land Rover specialist in Reading, now running its public website on AshDub. It's a distinctive multi-page site of the garage's own, built around a registration-first booking journey.

The live His & Hers Motors home page: the His and Hers logo, menu links for Services, MOT, Diagnostics, Gallery, Careers, About and Contact, a Book your car in button and the headline Quality service with a personal touch over a Land Rover in the workshop.
Live at ashdub.com/his-and-hers-motors

  1. A site of their own

    Services, MOT, diagnostics, gallery, careers, about and contact pages in the garage's own brand.

  2. Registration look-up

    Customers start with their registration, with a manual route when the look-up can't answer.

  3. Enquiries that land properly

    Booking and contact enquiries are saved in AshDub, where the garage reads them.

  4. Theirs to edit

    Every page is an editable AshDub page, not a fixed template.

03 · The front desk

A working day

From the first call to a decision, in one flow.

The customer, the vehicle, the estimate and every conversation land on one job, so the person at the desk always knows where things stand.

A job in ashdub. Garage: the registration, job number and customer's phone and email in the header, MOT status, a Review and send estimate action and the job's milestones from booked to complete.

The customer stays informed

Fewer chases. One conversation on every job.

Happy, informed customers

Clear approvals make for easy collections.

Customers see exactly what they're agreeing to, approve it from their phone and hear from you when the car is ready. Your team sees the same record, so nobody has to ask what was agreed.

The customer's confirmation after approving: Response recorded, thank you, the garage will be in touch, with a button to call the garage.
After they approve

  1. What the customer gets

    Every line and the total before any work, a clear approve or decline, and a way to call you.

  2. What your team keeps

    The decision, the signature and every message on the job.

  3. Where it comes from

    Built and run in a working UK independent garage, not a demo.

Questions

Good to know.

Is this the same system I log in to?

Yes. ashdub. Garage is the workshop system at auto.ashdub.com. This site introduces it, and Log in takes you straight there.

Can AshDub build our website too?

Yes. AshDub builds and hosts garage websites on the same platform, and His & Hers Motors is the latest. Website enquiries arrive in your AshDub enquiry record with the registration and the customer's message; how they carry on into Garage is set up with you.

Which messages can Garage send?

Email, SMS text and WhatsApp messages from the job, once those services are set up for your garage. Calls are made from your own phone; Garage lets you tap the number and log what was said, and it doesn't place or record calls.

Why does logging in open auto.ashdub.com?

So your password and two-step sign-in are only ever typed on the system that checks them. ashdub.com never sees them.

Are these real screens?

Yes. They are captured from the product and shown with sample workshop data, so no real customer appears. Illustrations on the How it works page are labelled as such.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. The board, jobs and messages are laid out for phones and tablets as well as the desktop, and technicians work from a phone in the bay.

How do I get started?

Talk to AshDub and we'll walk you through it with your workshop in mind, or create your workshop on auto.ashdub.com when you're ready.
