Running a successful garage or tyre shop today, is both more demanding—and more rewarding—than ever before. Over the past 18 months, our team has spoken with many independent workshops across Europe. We noticed the same challenge again and again: while mechanics and shop owners are highly skilled in their craft, the systems they rely on every day are outdated.
Whiteboards, sticky notes, paper job cards, and a patchwork of tools like Google Calendar and WhatsApp—these are still the systems many garages rely on. But without integration, they create friction and slow down service delivery
The Problem: Old Tools in a Digital World
Independent garages face three major pressures:
- Customer expectations have changed – Today’s drivers expect instant answers, digital confirmations, and live updates about their vehicles. Chasing a handwritten estimate or waiting for a callback no longer feels professional.
- Staff shortages are real – Recruiting reliable assistants and admin staff has become increasingly difficult. Shop owners are spending precious time buried in admin instead of focusing on cars and customers.
- Existing solutions don’t fit – Many current garage management systems are outdated, too complex, or simply not designed for the realities of independent workshops and tyre shops.
This mismatch slows garages down at a time when customers demand speed, clarity, and professionalism.
The Vision: Why Carsu Was Born
After years of building digital tools across industries, we saw a clear opportunity in the automotive aftermarket: garages, tyre shops, and service centers operate with deep expertise, but often without the digital infrastructure that could unlock their full potential. We asked: what if the same technology that transformed other sectors could be tailored to the unique workflows of workshops?
That’s why we created Carsu. Carsu is built on a simple promise: help workshops claim back time lost on administration and help them grow profitably. By simplifying everyday operations—bookings, estimates, job tracking, customer communication, and more—Carsu helps workshops to deliver faster, more professional service without sacrificing the personal touch that sets them apart..
What Carsu Can Do for Your Workshop
Carsu allows independent garages and tyre shops to manage their entire workflow in one place:
- Smart Bookings – Accept online appointments and keep your calendar updated automatically.
- Job Tracking – Follow every repair or tyre replacement from start to finish, without sticky notes or confusion.
- Estimates & Job Templates – Quickly prepare and send professional estimates with reusable templates.
- Customer Updates – Send automatic confirmations, reminders, and progress updates.
- Customer Management – Build stronger customer relationships by easily keeping a complete history of every repair, service, and interaction.
Instead of juggling paper and outdated systems, Carsu gives garages back control in a unified dashboard — so mechanics and shop-owners can focus on what they do best: fixing cars, delighting customers, and building stronger businesses.
Carsu isn’t just a set of features—it’s the operational backbone for modern workshops.
Built Together With Real Garages
Every feature in Carsu is shaped by our own experience in the industry and direct feedback from mechanics, shop owners, and staff across Europe.
Over the past 18 months, we’ve listened closely to what workshops need—and what they don’t. Carsu is a platform designed with the industry, not just for the industry.
