Running a successful garage or tyre shop in 2025 is both more demanding—and more rewarding—than ever before. Over the past 18 months, our team has spoken with hundreds of 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and again: while mechanics and shop owners are highly skilled in their craft, the systems they rely on every day are outdated.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. Clunky old software.
These are still the “tools” many garages depend on—but in today’s fast-moving, digital-first world, they create a widening gap between what workshops provide and what customers expect.
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- Existing solutions don’t fit – Many current garage management systems are outdated, too complex, or simply not designed for the realities of independent workshops and tyre shops.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
From our experience in other industries, we knew technology could transform how garages operate. The right digital tools can save time, reduce stress, and boost profitability.
So we asked: Why not bring these same advantages to independent workshops?
That’s why we created Carsu.
Carsu is built on a simple promise: give garages their time back while helping them grow profitably.
We’re not here to add complexity. We’re here to simplify everyday garage life by putting everything into one easy-to-use platform.
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.
- Fast Invoicing – Create professional invoices in seconds.
- Parts & Tyres Ordering – Find and order the right parts and tyres quickly.
- Customer Updates – Send automatic confirmations, reminders, and progress updates.
Instead of juggling paper and outdated systems, Carsu gives garages back control—so mechanics can focus on what they do best: fixing cars, delighting customers, and building stronger businesses.
Built Together With Real Garages
Carsu isn’t being developed in a vacuum. Every feature is shaped by 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.
Our Launch & What Comes Next
This September marks the official launch of Carsu. But this is just the beginning.
Our mission goes beyond software—we want to empower a digital transformation in independent workshops. For years, advanced digital tools were only accessible to big dealership groups. Now, Carsu levels the playing field, giving smaller garages the same speed, efficiency, and professionalism, without losing the personal service that makes them unique.
Join Us in Shaping the Future
At Carsu, we believe mechanics and shop owners should spend less time on paperwork—and more time under the bonnet, with customers, and building businesses that thrive.
👉 If you run a garage or tyre shop, we’d love to hear your ideas and challenges. Together, we can build the tools that make workshop life easier.
