What’s the biggest admin headache in running an independent garage?

We’re getting ready to launch GDNest, a simple garage management and online booking system built around independent workshops.

One thing became clear while building it: mechanics should be spending their time working on cars — not fighting complicated software or constantly dealing with workshop admin.

GDNest focuses on keeping things simple: customer bookings, job progress, workshop management and customer updates in one place.

We’d love to hear from garage owners, technicians and people working in the automotive industry:

What part of running a workshop creates the most unnecessary admin or wasted time?

Your feedback could genuinely help shape where we take GDNest next.
