Founding garages

My first twenty garages, priced to match.

I’m taking on my first twenty garages with three or more bays personally – and I’ve priced it accordingly. £50 a bay, locked for as long as you stay. Below our annual rate, and you still pay monthly.

First 20 garages
The founding rate.
£50 / bay / month, paid monthly
For garages running 3 or more bays
Locked for as long as you stay — never creeps up at renewal

That’s half the standard monthly rate. It doesn’t expire after a year and it doesn’t rise at renewal. Whatever Torqueflow costs a new garage in two years, your rate stays £50 a bay.

And it covers every bay you run, including the ones you haven’t opened yet. Grow from three bays to six, and all six are £50. Growing your workshop should make Torqueflow better value, never more expensive per bay.

The honest reason it’s this low.

Torqueflow is new, and I’d rather prove it with twenty garages I look after myself than spend the same money on adverts. So I’ve made it easy to say yes. In return I ask three things.

1
Use it properly.
Run your real workshop on it — calls, jobs, invoices, the lot.
2
Tell me what’s not working.
Honest feedback while we’re both finding the rough edges, so I can fix it.
3
Let me share your story.
Once it’s earning its keep, a testimonial or a reference call for other garages.

When the twenty places are gone, the offer closes. Founding garages keep £50 a bay for good.

What this means at your size

The pricing story. Drag the slider.

The right way to think about Torqueflow isn’t “garage software vs other garage software.” It’s “garage software vs the next person you’d otherwise hire.” At any bay count above three, the comparison is straightforward.

Replace the front-desk hire. Keep the work.

A full-time UK receptionist costs around £22,000/year. Torqueflow Annual for a 5-6 bay shop is £4,500-5,400/year. Voice AI, WhatsApp and the portal cover the same inbound work.

Receptionist replaced

Annual
£375-450/mo £4.5-5.4k/yr

Most independents at this size are employing a front-desk person or considering one. Torqueflow defers or removes that hire – the £22k/year role becomes a sub-£5,500/year subscription.

Established independent

Annual

You’ve usually hired front-of-house. For context: a 7-bay shop on TechMan Pro Partner is ~£465-515/mo all-in. Torqueflow Annual is ~£585/mo all-in – for AI features Pro Partner doesn’t have.

8+bays

Multi-bay coordination

Annual
From £600/mo From £7.2k/yr

Growing usually means a second front-desk hire. Fixed per-bay pricing means every additional bay grows your margin instead of your headcount. Two receptionists’ worth of work for a fraction of one.

5-6 baysThe hire comparison

Voice AI handles ~70% of inbound, the portal handles status checks, and WhatsApp handles the back-and-forth – work that would otherwise sit on a hire.

A part-time receptionist costs around £10-12k/year; a full-time UK reception hire is around £22k. Whichever you’d otherwise sign up for, that’s the comparison. Torqueflow defers or removes the hire for under £5,500/year on annual.

7 baysThe TechMan comparison

A 7-bay shop on TechMan Pro Partner pays around £465-£515/month all-in (the £415 subscription plus credits for DVLA, mailshots, and SMS reminders).

Torqueflow Annual at the same bay count is around £585/month all-in – roughly £100/month more, for AI features Pro Partner doesn’t have. If you’re on TechMan Pro Flexi (rolling-monthly, £529/month plus a £1,300 upfront fee), you’re already paying more than Torqueflow Annual in Year 1.

AI Credits – how they work

How AI credits actually work

Your subscription includes a monthly allowance of AI credits that cover voice calls, WhatsApp messages, and AI-powered features. For most garages, the included allowance covers normal usage comfortably.

What uses credits

  • Phone calls answered by the AI receptionist
  • WhatsApp conversations handled by AI
  • Portal messages handled by AI
  • SMS replies sent by AI (covers both the AI interaction and the cost of sending the message)
  • AI diagnostic assistant queries
  • AI-generated quote summaries and customer messages
  • AI purchase-invoice scanning (per page extracted)
  • The Xero integration – 50 credits per connected Xero org per month

Exactly 50 credits per month per connected Xero organisation, debited on the day you connect and on the same day each subsequent month. About £4/month at the standard credit-pack rate.

What doesn’t use credits

  • Scheduling & bay management
  • Quotes, jobs and invoicing
  • The customer portal itself
  • DVLA & MOT lookups
  • Reporting and dashboards
  • Adding users (still unlimited)

If you hit your limit

  • You don’t lose functionality.
  • AI features step back to message-taking mode – name,
  • number, reason for calling.
  • Calls, WhatsApp and SMS keep working; the AI just stops checking live workshop data.
  • Credits reset on your next billing cycle, or top up instantly.

Likely needs a top-up pack

The Xero integration is the most predictable credit cost – exactly 50 credits per month per connected organisation, debited on the same day each month. Voice and message credit usage varies with call length and complexity.

Need more credits? Top-up packs are available if you consistently use more AI than your monthly allowance covers. No surprise bills – you buy packs upfront, they’re added to your balance, and they don’t expire. Most garages never need one.

Your 30-Day Trial

Try the whole thing. For a month.

Full product, every feature, your real workshop. If it doesn’t earn its place in 30 days, walk away.

How the trial works

1

Book a demo and we set you up on the call.

About 30 minutes. Pick your bay count, we import your data (a customer export, an Excel sheet, even scanned cards, we’ve seen all of it), and we take a £1 card check that reverses automatically. You won’t be charged anything during the 30 days.

2

Guided onboarding and team training, included.

Your AI receptionist answering, your portal live, your number routing. We get you working, not just signed up.

3

Run a real week of work on it.

Book customers, send quotes, raise invoices, take calls through the AI receptionist. It’s the full product, not a demo sandbox. Every feature is on.

4

Day 30: continue, or walk away.

We email you on day 28 and again on day 30. Stay, and your subscription starts on day 31 at the bay count you trialled, on the card you verified. It rolls over automatically unless you tell us to stop. Not for you? Reply to either email and the account pauses. We keep your data for 90 days in case you change your mind. No retention calls, no awkward cancellation flow.

What’s included in your trial

  • Every feature – the same product paying customers get.
  • Unlimited users – bring the whole team in.
  • Full AI credit allowance for your bay count.
  • Guided setup & data migration from your current system.
  • A UK phone number for the AI receptionist (or port yours).
  • Onboarding training for you and your team.

Ready when you are.

Most garages start with a quick demo so we can set them up on their own data. Prefer to dive straight in? You can start a 30-day trial for £1 and set yourself up.

Book a Demo

The fine print, in plain English.

During the trial

No charges during the 30 days beyond the £1 card check, which reverses on its own.

Day 28 & 30

We email you on day 28 and again on day 30. If you’re staying, your subscription starts on day 31 on the card you verified. It rolls over automatically unless you tell us to stop, which you can do by replying to either email. No charge if you stop, and no chasing.

Monthly

Cancel any time after that. On monthly, you keep access to the end of the month you’ve paid for, and we don’t refund part-months.

Annual

On annual, you can cancel mid-term and we refund the whole months you haven’t used. Annual is twelve months for the price of nine, and we draw that payment down at the standard monthly rate when we refund, so you keep the three-months-free saving by staying the year. Leave early and you’ve simply paid the monthly rate for the time you used, with the rest refunded.

Worked example · annual cancellation

Start annual on 12 January and cancel on 20 August. You’ve used eight months (we don’t refund the part-month you’re in), so the one unused month left in your balance is refunded, covering 12 September to 11 October.

Pricing FAQ

The questions that come up.

Anything else, drop us a line – we’ll answer plainly. No “contact sales for pricing”.

A bay is anything you would put on a schedule. That includes lifts, ramps, MOT bays, bodyshop bays, flat bays, and even a mobile van that travels to site. If you have two lifts, an MOT bay, and a mobile van, that’s four bays. Some garages count individual mechanics as a bay if they schedule work per person. The rule is simple: if it needs its own column in the diary, it’s a bay.

It’s a fixed founding rate for my first twenty garages: £50 per bay per month, locked for as long as you stay on Torqueflow. It isn’t time-limited and it doesn’t rise at renewal. In return I ask for honest feedback while we’re both finding the rough edges, and a testimonial or a reference call once Torqueflow is paying its way for you. When the twenty places are gone the offer closes, and new garages pay the standard rate. Founding garages keep £50 a bay for good.

Nothing, and that’s the point. The standard rate can move over time. Your founding rate is grandfathered. You keep £50 per bay per month for as long as you’re with us, whatever happens to pricing for new garages.

Yes. The founding rate is £50 per bay for as long as you’re with us, and that includes bays you add later. Grow from three bays to six and all six are £50. The rate follows your account, so expanding your workshop makes Torqueflow better value, not more expensive per bay.

No catch, but there is an exchange. The founding price is for garages who’ll genuinely use the system, tell me when something’s wrong, and let me share the results once it’s working for them. If that’s you, it’s the best deal Torqueflow will ever offer. If you just want the cheapest thing on the market and no conversation, the founding price probably isn’t aimed at you.

You book a demo and we set you up on the call: your bay count, your data imported, your AI receptionist answering. We take a £1 card check that reverses automatically, and you run a full 30 days on real jobs with every feature switched on. Nothing is charged during the 30 days. If it’s not for you, walk away.

We email you on day 28 and again on day 30. If you’re continuing, you don’t need to do anything: your subscription starts on day 31 on the card you verified at setup. If you’re not, tell us before then and the account pauses. We keep your data for 90 days in case you change your mind, then delete it.

No. Data import, guided setup, and team onboarding are all included. We bring your records across as part of getting you started.

No. Pay monthly, cancel anytime. We’d rather earn your business every month than lock you into a contract.

Yes, at any time. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle. Growing your workshop shouldn’t mean renegotiating a contract.

You can still cancel early during the annual term and get a pro-rata refund — see How to cancel your subscription for the exact mechanics. The 30-day cooling-off applies to annual subs as well as monthly ones, so you’ve got a full month to test the system before the annual commitment is locked in.

No. Add as many team members as you need – technicians, service advisors, admin staff. No per-seat charges.

Yes. You can port your existing garage number to Torqueflow’s AI receptionist, or we’ll provide a new UK number. Your choice.

Your data is hosted in UK data centres and handled in compliance with UK GDPR. We don’t sell your data or your customers’ data. Ever.

One subscription covers every site. We add up the bays across all your locations and bill that total at your per-bay rate, on one invoice. You get a single dashboard to manage all sites, with each location maintaining its own branding, phone number, and customer portal.

Yes. Annual is £75 per bay per month versus £100 monthly, which is 25% off. Another way to see it: twelve months for the price of nine. A single-bay garage pays £900/year instead of £1,200. A 3-bay garage pays £2,700/year instead of £3,600. A 7-bay garage pays £6,300/year instead of £8,400.

If you cancel an annual plan early, we refund the whole months you haven’t used, drawn down at the standard monthly rate. So you keep the three-months-free saving by staying the year. See How to cancel your subscription for the exact mechanics and a worked example.

Three honest reasons. First, annual customers cost us less to serve – one card charge a year instead of twelve, less churn admin, fewer payment-failure retries. Second, annual customers are committing to a year, which lets us plan capacity and AI infrastructure with more confidence. Third, the discount nudges customers to make a real decision rather than drift into the rolling-monthly default. We pass roughly all of those savings back as the 25% off.

Different pricing model. AutoChain charges per system at £69.99/month and includes unlimited employees, but adds £15/month each for parts management, tyre management, and SMS reminders, plus £39.99/month for OEM technical data. For a single-bay garage with the full feature set, you’d be at £130+/month before reaching feature parity. Torqueflow is £75 per bay per month on annual (or £100 monthly) with everything included – Voice AI, WhatsApp, AI invoice scanning, Xero integration, customer portal, parts management, SMS, the lot. For a 1-bay shop with only core features, AutoChain at £69.99 is fractionally cheaper than Torqueflow’s £75 annual. For a 1-bay shop using full features, or any 2+ bay setup on annual, Torqueflow is cheaper and you get the AI features AutoChain doesn’t have at all.

AI usage has a real underlying cost – every voice call, every WhatsApp reply, every invoice extraction is computational work paid to AI providers. Bundling unlimited AI into a fixed price would force us to choose between charging everyone the heavy-user rate or rate-limiting the heavy users. Credits let normal usage feel free (it’s covered by the included allowance) while heavy users pay proportionally. For a typical 2-bay garage, the included AI credits cover all normal voice, messaging, and invoice-scanning usage with the only credit cost being the Xero integration’s 50/month if you connect it.
