TechMan is well established and feature-heavy, and for a large operation with several bays, multiple branches and the time to set it all up, that depth has its place. But that scale comes at a price: quote-based tiers that climb into the hundreds per month, onboarding and implementation fees, technical data charged separately, and a longer commitment to get the best rate.
GarageWise is built for independent garages and MOT centres who want all of that handled simply. One flat price. Market-leading technical data included. No setup fee. No contract. You can be working the same day you sign up.

We'll be straight with you. If you run a large multi-branch operation that needs heavy configuration and has a team to manage the rollout, TechMan is a capable system. But if you're an independent garage or MOT centre that wants the work done simply, affordably, and with technical data in the box, that's exactly what GarageWise is built for.
