Gaffer for
mobile mechanics.
A mobile mechanic’s workshop is somebody else’s driveway, and the history of the car lives in your head until a customer asks. Gaffer keeps each vehicle under its owner with the service record, diagnostic report and MOT advisory note attached, so last year’s advisory becomes this year’s booked work — and the oil disposal record is filed where an inspector would want to see it. Quote, schedule, certify, invoice and get paid — with the 14 trade documents mobile mechanics actually use already in the account.
Where two names look alike they are different documents — a notification is not the certificate that follows it, and two schemes covering the same work each want their own form. If you think one is missing, or that one of these is redundant, say so and we will change the pack.
Priced quote templates for mobile mechanics, your own price book and good-better-best options. Customers accept and pay a deposit from their phone.
14 trade documents ready for mobile mechanics — 11 written for this trade, 3 shared with others — filled in on the phone, signed on site and emailed as a PDF before you leave.
One tap raises the invoice from the accepted quote, nets off the deposit and sends a Pay Now link. Reminders chase for you.
Certificates and services with an expiry date become next year’s work. Gaffer texts the customer a booking link before it lapses.
A service on the customer’s drive, end to end

14 trade documents, ready for mobile mechanics.
11 of them are written for this trade and 3 are shared with others — an EICR is an EICR whoever issues it. Every one is a real digital form, not a blank template.
Each one is a proper digital form: the fields that document actually needs, signature capture, photo attachments, a PDF the customer can keep, and — where it has one — an expiry date Gaffer tracks. Completed on the phone, offline if it has to be.
