Vehicle intelligence · Built for AU shops, ready for the world

The plate decodes the car.
We decode everything else.

Workshop1 turns a rego or VIN into a full vehicle profile in under a second — OEM service schedule, every past job, open recalls, mileage trend, the lot. Built for the way Aussie shops actually work: customer pulls up, you read the plate, the card is already loaded.

What it does

Four ways the vehicle card pays for the seat.

One card, every vehicle, every shop on every plan. No per-rego fee. No data add-ons.

Decode

Plate-to-vehicle in 200ms.

Type the rego, scan the plate from the mobile app, or paste a VIN. NEVDIS in AU, CarJam in NZ, NHTSA + MOTOR in the US — same UX, right plug.

Recalls + OEM

OEM schedules & recall flags.

Open recalls are surfaced at the top of every card the moment it’s loaded. OEM service intervals come from Mitchell ProDemand and are pre-priced against your shop labour.

Mileage

Mileage trend, next-service forecast.

Every odometer reading rolls up into a trend chart. The card tells you exactly when the next service is due — by km and by date — and queues the reminder.

How it works

Scan · Decode · Auto-populate.

Three steps from kerbside to ticket. The advisor never opens another tab and the tech never types a VIN.

01

Scan

Type the rego at the front desk, paste a VIN, or scan the plate from the mobile app at the bay. We hit NEVDIS, CarJam or NHTSA depending on where the car is.

Rego · VIN · mobile cameraAU, NZ, US covered todayUnlimited lookups, no per-call fee
02

Decode

Make, model, trim, engine, transmission, build date, colour — plus the OEM service schedule, open recalls and the customer’s prior history at this shop.

MOTOR + Mitchell ProDemand dataRecall feeds (NHTSA + OEM AU)Service history follows the car
03

Auto-populate

The vehicle card lands on the ticket. Due-services chip becomes a one-tap quote. Recalls become checklist items the tech sees in the bay. Nothing retyped.

One-tap quote from OEM scheduleRecalls flow into DVI checklistReminder queued for next service
Intake to quote, end-to-end

From plate scan to one-tap quote, in the time it takes to walk to the bay.

The vehicle card is the spine of every workflow. Recalls, OEM schedule and prior history all converge into the next obvious action — drafted, but never sent without you.

  • Customer arrives · advisor reads the plate aloud or scans it from the bay.
  • Vehicle + history loaded · full profile on screen before the customer reaches the desk.
  • Workshop1 suggests due services · OEM schedule + recalls + carry-over deferred work, all pre-priced.
  • One-tap quote · SMS goes to the customer, ticket opens for the tech.

Trust & data sources

Vehicle data you can stake the workshop on.

NEVDIS, CarJam, NHTSA, MOTOR.

AU plates via NEVDIS (Austroads). NZ plates via CarJam (NZTA). US VINs via NHTSA + MOTOR. UK DVLA next.

Encrypted history, your tenant.

Every odometer, every job, every photo lives in your tenant. Encrypted at rest. Exportable any time.

Customer owns their data.

If a customer leaves your shop, they take their service history with them as a portable PDF or CSV. No lock-in — for them or you.

Audit trail on every lookup.

Who ran which lookup, when, against which provider. Greppable. Exportable. Quiet by default, loud when you need it.

Questions shop owners ask us

Honest answers.

Stop typing VINs.
Start running the day.

Move to Workshop1 and we’ll import your full vehicle history, wire up rego lookups, and have your team scanning plates by next week — with the first 30 days on us.
