Comparison
GarageOS vs Tekmetric for UK independents
Tekmetric is a common answer to 'shop management' in the US. It doesn't fit the UK MOT-driven workflow out of the box.
GarageOS is built for the UK independent — MOT, DVLA, VAT, mobile-first.
| Area | Alternative | GarageOS |
|---|---|---|
| Region | US-first | UK-first |
| MOT class handling | Not native | Native |
| Mobile-first UI | Desktop primary | Phone/tablet primary |
| Deposits | US payment rails | Stripe UK, GBP |
Both are good tools. The differentiator for a UK workshop is which one respects MOT and DVLA — that's GarageOS.
