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.

The pitch isn’t headcount – it’s recovered work. AI answers calls and messages while you’re under a car. Two missed bookings a month covered the subscription before lunch.

Your bottleneck stops being the phone and starts being the workshop. Voice AI, WhatsApp and the portal handle routine inbound – roughly a day a week of paid work back, per technician.

5-6bays

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.

7bays

Established independent

Annual
£525/mo £6,300/yr

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.

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.

30-day free trial

Try the whole thing. For a month.

Full product, every feature, your real workshop. We’d rather you use it on actual jobs than sit through a polished demo. If it doesn’t earn its place after 30 days, walk away.

1

Sign up online – no sales call required.

Pick your bay count, enter your garage details, and verify your card with a £1 hold. Hold reverses automatically. You won’t be charged anything during the 30 days.

2

We migrate your data and set you up.

Send us a customer export from your current system (or an Excel sheet, or scanned cards – we’ve seen all of it). Guided onboarding, data import, and team training are all included.

Run a real week of work on it.

Use it for actual jobs – book customers, send quotes, raise invoices, take calls through the AI receptionist. The trial is full-product, not a demo sandbox. Every feature is on.

Day 30: continue, or walk away.

If it’s working for you, your subscription starts at the bay count you signed up at. If it’s not, do nothing – the account pauses, and we keep your data for 90 days in case you change your mind. No retention calls, no awkward cancellation flow.

What doesn’t use credits

  • 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.

Start 30-day free trial

The fine print, in plain English. No credit card charges during the trial – only the £1 verification hold, which reverses automatically. No auto-conversion at day 30: we’ll email you on day 28 to ask if you want to continue, and again on day 30. Cancel by replying “not for us” – we won’t chase you. If you continue, your bay-based subscription starts on day 31 and you can cancel any time after that with one month’s notice.

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.

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.

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

30 days with full access to every feature. We take a £1 card verification to get started – no obligation to continue. If it’s not for you, walk away. No awkward cancellation calls, no retention offers, no hassle.

If you want to continue, add your payment details and your subscription starts. If you don’t, your account is paused – we keep your data for 90 days in case you change your mind, then delete it.

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.

Each location is billed separately by bay count. 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 – 25% off. For a single-bay garage, that’s £900/year instead of £1,200/year, paid up front for the year. A 3-bay garage on annual pays £2,700/year instead of £3,600/year. A 7-bay garage pays £6,300/year instead of £8,400/year.

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.

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.

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.

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