WorkshopData Just Got a Massive Upgrade: See What’s Inside Every Service

G’day Workshop Software users,

If you thought Two-Way SMS was exciting (and it absolutely is), wait until you see what we’ve just rolled out for WorkshopData. This update is a big deal, and it’s already live in your system.

Finally: See What’s Actually Included in Every Service

Here’s the problem we’ve solved. You’re quoting a customer on a major service, and they ask, “What exactly are you doing for that price?” Previously, you’d have to add the item to the invoice, check and see if you’ve got the right one, and if not, go back into WorkshopData and select the next one.

Now, when you pull up WorkshopData labour times, you’ll see a dropdown chevron next to each service. Click it, and there’s a complete breakdown of every single task included in that service. Oil change, filter replacement, brake inspection, the lot. It’s all there, crystal clear.

This is exactly what you asked for, and we’ve delivered.

No More “Vehicle Not Found” Dead Ends

You know that sinking feeling when you enter a vehicle and WorkshopData can’t find it? That frustration ends today.

If the system doesn’t automatically recognise a vehicle, you can now manually search by make and model. Let’s say you’ve got a vehicle that’s not coming up automatically. Simply select the make and model, select the correct variant, and you’re away.

Here’s the brilliant bit: once you’ve selected the correct vehicle variant, Workshop Software remembers it. Next time you open WorkshopData for that vehicle, it’ll pull up the right information automatically. No more searching every single time.

And if you accidentally select the wrong variant? No dramas. You can switch variants or search for a completely different vehicle with a couple of clicks. It’s flexible, it’s smart, and it saves you time.

WorkshopData Now Works on Your Mobile App

This might be the biggest time-saver of all.

Your mechanics can now access WorkshopData directly from the mobile app. They’re under a vehicle, need to check fluid capacities or ID locations? They pull out their phone, tap the button, and all the lubricant specs and ID locations are right there.

No more walking back to the office computer. No more interrupting you to ask questions. No more guessing. Your team becomes instantly more efficient and professional. This is free on your mobile app, and of course mobile users are free too.

The Hidden Cost of Not Having This Information

Let’s talk about what this really means for your bottom line.

Every time a mechanic walks away from a job to check specs, that’s billable time wasted. Every time you can’t confidently explain what’s included in a service, you risk losing the job to a competitor who sounds more professional. Every time you quote incorrectly because you didn’t have complete information, you’re either losing money or losing customers.

This update eliminates all of that.

You’re capturing more revenue because your team works faster. You’re winning more jobs because you sound like the expert you are. You’re protecting your margins because you’re quoting accurately every single time.

Other Improvements You’ll Notice

We’ve also made improvements to how torque settings work within WorkshopData, and we’ve fixed an issue where zero labour times weren’t showing for motorcycles. If you work on bikes, you’ll notice the difference immediately.

The the searching has been improved, including the removal of an error if the VIN is incomplete or not found. there’s been improvements to the layout, image alignment, and more.

This Is What Modern Workshop Management Looks Like

Here’s what separates successful workshops from struggling ones: information at your fingertips when you need it.

You’re not running back to the office. You’re not flipping through paper manuals. You’re not relying on memory or guesswork. You’ve got professional-grade data integrated directly into your workflow, accessible from anywhere in your workshop.

That’s the difference between operating like it’s 2005 and running a modern, profitable workshop.
