No bloated big-company software. Pistonlog is built for independent garages that answer to their customers, not head office.

More billed. Less admin.

Deferred work

£400 of work they put off last visit returns to the jobcard when the car comes back.

Approvals

They see the photo and approve the work. No phone call, no chasing.

Reminders

MOT and service reminders go out while you are under a car and help fill next week.

Invoicing

Invoices come off the jobcard, not your kitchen table.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our product and services.

Does Pistonlog offer a free trial?
Start your workshop's first monthly Essentials or Pro subscription during setup to get 3 days free. A card is required at checkout, and billing starts automatically after the trial unless you cancel before it ends. Annual plans do not include a free trial. Your first plan payment is also covered by our 14-day money-back guarantee, measured from that payment. You can book a demonstration before subscribing.
How do I get started?
Create your account and the setup guide walks you through adding your workshop, choosing a plan, and getting to your dashboard. Then you can set up your board and bring across your customer and vehicle records.
Can you help us move from our current system?
Pistonlog's CSV import brings across customer and vehicle records, with a preview before saving. Historical job cards, invoices and inspection records are not imported. Keep access to those records in your previous system. Contact us for help planning the switch.
How does the pricing work?
Pistonlog Essentials costs £99 per month or £950 per year. Pro costs £179 per month or £1,720 per year. Prices exclude VAT and are per workshop in GBP, with unlimited users on both plans. Annual subscriptions are paid upfront. Automatic reminders require Pro or Group. SMS uses separately purchased credits; email reminders are free.
Is there a contract or can I cancel anytime?
You can cancel a monthly Pistonlog subscription at any time and keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. Annual subscriptions are paid upfront for a full year.
How many users can I add?
Unlimited. Add your whole team, including owners, managers, receptionists and technicians, at no extra cost. You choose what each person can see and do.
Can I manage multiple workshop locations?
Yes. Each location needs its own subscription, but you can manage them all from one account. Group plans let you see reports across all your sites.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Pistonlog works on computers, tablets and phones. Technicians can do inspections, add mileage and photos, and update jobs from the workshop floor.
One of my techs hates computers. Will this work?
Technicians see a simple view of their jobs on a phone or tablet, with nothing to install. If they can use a messaging app, they can update a jobcard.
How do credits work for automated reminders?
SMS reminders, including MOT, service, follow-up and Google review requests, use credits. Email reminders are free. Credits cost between 7p and 10p each depending on how many you buy, and you can top up anytime in the app.
Is my data secure?
Pistonlog checks access against your workshop permissions. If you connect ChatGPT, authorised records are shared with OpenAI to answer your requests and review supported changes. Service providers also process information to operate Pistonlog. You retain ownership of your customer data. Our Privacy Policy explains sharing, international processing and your choices.

Bill every hour. Fill every week. Win back the work you were letting go.

From £79 a month excluding VAT when you pay £950 upfront for the year. Your whole team is included, with no per-user fees. Import your customers and vehicles, and keep access to historical jobs and invoices in your previous system. If Pistonlog does not suit your garage, request a refund within 14 days of your first plan payment.
