Auto electricians in Geelong
Geelong's workshops — North Geelong, Grovedale, Corio, out to the Surf Coast — are word-of-mouth businesses. A mate's recommendation gets a car through the door; what keeps it coming back is the follow-through: a clear quote, an honest invoice with photos, and a text when the next service is due.
Built for workshops in North Geelong, Grovedale, Belmont, Corio, Moolap, Torquay and across Geelong.

How Mech Central fixes it
Fault codes on the file
OBD codes and notes save against the vehicle's inspection record, with the service history alongside. The next time the car comes in, the last scan is one tap away.
Diagnose first, quote second
Invoice the diagnostic from the Service Menu, then quote the repair as a separate document the customer approves online. Two clear steps, no argument about which was which.
Labour rates by type
Standard, apprentice and after-hours rates seeded and editable. Pick the rate on the line and the price follows; the customer sees the hours and the rate.
Parts memory with aliases
Save the relay you fit ten times a month with its part number, cost, sell price and the engines it fits. Type a nickname next time and it fills the line.
The moment it pays for itself
The intermittent fault that took two hours to find is on the car's file with the codes, the fix and the photos. When it comes back in eighteen months, you are not starting from zero.
Questions auto electricians ask
Is Mech Central the same as TradeCentral?
Same Australian platform, same company, same price. Mech Central is the workshop-only front door: every account created here is a mechanic account, with vehicles, rego search, service reminders and inspections switched on from the start. One login works on both sites.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The first month is free with the whole app included. After that it is $49.99 a month for the whole workshop, paid by bank transfer, and you can stop any time.
Does it send SMS reminders?
Yes. Reminders go by email by default and by SMS once you switch texting on in Settings. Every text ends with 'Reply STOP to opt out', and a STOP reply is honoured across every record holding that number.
Can my staff log in?
Yes — unlimited logins at no extra cost. You choose which accounts can see prices, profit and revenue.
Mech Central for other workshops
Free for a month
Put one auto electrician job through it.
Set-up takes about two minutes. Book a car, quote it, photograph it, invoice it and let the reminder bring it back. The first month is free, so it costs nothing to find out.
