Motara is the all-in-one workshop management platform for Australian auto repair shops, motorcycle workshops, and independent mechanics. Manage jobs, quotes, invoices, and inventory effortlessly — with automatic SMS service reminders that bring old customers back, digital invoicing that syncs with Xero, and AI-powered diagnostic tools built into the workflow.
Motara remembers when your customers are due for their next service and texts them automatically. No sticky notes, no spreadsheets, no manual follow-up. Most shops see 30-50% more returning customers within the first three months — one recovered customer typically pays for four months of software at our standard $75/month pricing.
Create professional invoices in seconds with itemised labour, parts, and GST. Every invoice syncs automatically to Xero — no duplicate data entry, GST handled correctly, and your bookkeeper sees real-time numbers. Works with any Australian Xero account.
Track every job from quote to completion with a visual drag-and-drop workflow board. Assign technicians to specific bays, send automated calendar invites, capture vehicle history per customer, and convert quotes into invoices without re-typing anything.
Build detailed repair quotes with parts, labour, and GST in minutes. Download as PDF or send directly to customers. Set up labour rate tiers per job type so pricing stays consistent across your whole team.
Every customer has a full profile with vehicles, service history, outstanding balances, and preferred contact method. Search by name, rego, VIN, or phone number in under a second.
Track parts stock levels with automatic low-stock alerts. Link parts to jobs so cost flows through to invoices correctly. Supplier part numbers stored per item for fast reordering.
Motara is Australian-made and designed specifically for how Aussie workshops operate — AUD pricing with GST inclusive, integration with ClickSend for locally-routed SMS, support for Xero accounting (the dominant AU small-business accounting platform), and compliance with Australian consumer law requirements for quoting and invoicing.
Standard pricing is $75/month AUD with a 14-day free trial. Founding-member pricing is available for the first 30 workshops at $20/month locked forever. All features included, no per-user fees, no setup costs. Cancel anytime.
Beyond the paid software, Motara offers a full suite of free tools for mechanics — OBD-II DTC code lookup, VIN decoder, oil capacity and type finder, tyre size calculator, invoice generator, quote builder, job card generator, vehicle inspection form, service report generator, AI vehicle Q&A, labour rate calculator, and a workshop-finder for auto repair shops near customers. No signup required.

Powerful tools designed for mechanics, garages, motorcycle shops, and automotive service professionals to streamline daily operations
Most customers don't leave because they're unhappy. They leave because nobody followed up. Every vehicle in your system has a service date. When it's approaching, your customers hear from you automatically before they start searching for another mechanic.
Two customers showing up for the same bay. A mechanic standing around because jobs aren't assigned. It costs you money and your reputation. A visual job board puts every bay, every mechanic, and every job in one place so your whole team knows exactly what's happening.


You built a workshop to fix cars, not to spend Friday nights reconciling invoices. The moment a job is marked done, the invoice goes out and your books update themselves. You leave on time.
