Tyre Shop Software: Booking and WhatsApp in One Place
Tyre shop software (also called tyre shop management software, or tire shop software in the US) runs a fitting bay’s daily work in one place: online booking for fittings, seasonal changeover and tyre storage, stock by size and brand, billing, and customer reminders by WhatsApp. Carsu is built for independent tyre shops and fitters — messaging-first, with a free trial to start.
Per-workshop pricing, no per-user fees.

What is tyre shop software?
Tyre shop software is a specialised system for tyre fitters and dealers that handles bay scheduling, online booking for tyre fitting, stock by size and brand, seasonal storage, quoting and billing (tyres, fitting, balancing and disposal), and customer communication. Unlike a generic till or spreadsheet, it understands tyre-specific work — changeover seasons, storage, TPMS, and per-vehicle fitment history.
Modern tyre shop software is cloud-based and used from a phone or tablet in the bay, so fitters update jobs without walking back to the office.
Is there free tyre shop software?
You can try Carsu’s full tyre shop software free — long enough to run your real fitting workflow before paying. There’s no permanently-free tier; after the trial, pricing is per workshop with no per-user fees. That per-workshop pricing is the honest answer to the “free” question: many tools advertise “free” then charge per fitter or paywall stock and reminders, so they cost more the moment you grow.
When you compare “free” tools, look past the headline: per-user fees that punish hiring, setup and migration charges, and feature paywalls on stock or reminders are where the real cost hides. See Carsu’s pricing.
How does online booking for tyre fitting work?
Online booking lets customers self-book a tyre fitting by service, vehicle and time slot, mapped to your bays and fitters so you never double-book. Carsu shows a bay-and-fitter calendar with duration templates (e.g. a 2-tyre swap = 30 min, 4 tyres + balance = 45 min), drag-and-drop rescheduling, and automatic confirmation and reminder messages by WhatsApp — which cuts no-shows. Every booking syncs to your workboard, and mobile fitting jobs can be scheduled and updated from a phone in the field.
- 24/7 self-booking by service, vehicle and time slot
- Bay + fitter calendar with duration templates and drag-and-drop
- Automatic WhatsApp confirmations and reminders to cut no-shows
Does it send WhatsApp reminders to customers?
Yes — Carsu sends appointment confirmations, status updates, seasonal-swap and MOT reminders, and quote-approval links over WhatsApp Business, with SMS as a fallback. WhatsApp is the core channel because that’s where customers under 45 actually reply, which lifts confirmation and rebooking rates over SMS — turning reminders into recurring revenue.
- Confirmations, status updates and quote-approval links over WhatsApp Business
- Seasonal-swap and MOT reminders that bring customers back
- SMS and email too — customers reply on their preferred channel
Can it manage seasonal changeover and tyre storage?
Carsu keeps the vehicle and its tyre history on the customer record, so when a car comes back you can see what was fitted, when, and at what tread depth. Full inventory management and seasonal tyre storage are both coming soon.
- Automatic WhatsApp reminders when a seasonal swap is due
- Turn one-off fittings into twice-a-year recurring visits
Does it do tyre shop billing and invoicing?
Yes — in Carsu a quote becomes a job card and then an invoice. You build the quote (tyres, fitting, balancing, valves, TPMS and disposal as clear line items) with estimates and job templates, and send it for approval by WhatsApp or email; once accepted it converts to the job card your fitter works from, and when the work is done it becomes the invoice. Invoices integrate with your accounting, and payment reminders chase overdue balances automatically — so you get paid faster with less admin.
- Quote → job card → invoice in one flow
- Tyres, fitting, balancing, valves and disposal as clear line items
- Accounting integration with automatic payment reminders
How does it handle tyre stock?
Full inventory management is coming soon: create products, register them in your shop's inventory, and attach them to work-cards and invoices. Available today is the tyre catalogue, covering every tyre on the EU market with product images and EPREL label data.
What’s the best tyre shop software for an independent fitter?
The best tyre shop software for an independent fitter is the one that matches how you actually work: online booking, seasonal-storage tracking, stock by size, fast billing, and customer reminders — without per-user pricing or long lock-in. Carsu is built for tyre shops under ~10 staff that want a simple, messaging-first tool and a free trial to start. Larger US-built tire-shop platforms have deeper parts catalogues but lack WhatsApp-first communication and European fit. For a full market comparison, see our best garage management software guide.
