Built for Independent dealers and multi-bay service shops
Independent Dealership Service Software — Simple Work Orders, Vehicle History & Faster Billing
Run your service department without a $500/month DMS. Garixo gives independent dealers and growing service shops clean work orders, advisor notes, and vehicle history — at a fraction of the cost.
Still managing dealership service jobs across spreadsheets?
When advisors, techs, and parts are not connected in one system, work slows down and customers wait longer.
- Advisor handoffs lose notes and approvals.
- Service lane status is hard to see at a glance.
- Parts usage and warranty notes get split across tools.
- Billing slows down at the end of the day.
A clear dealership service workflow
Garixo connects work orders, parts, and invoices in one place so advisors can keep service lines moving.
Start in minutesThe Service Problems Independent Dealers Know Well
Independent dealerships run lean. The same person who sells a car on Monday might be coordinating service work on Tuesday. Without a clean system, service jobs fall through the cracks — and that costs you money and reputation.
A customer brings back a car they bought 3 months ago.
They say the issue was there when they bought it. You have no pre-sale inspection record, no photos, and no documentation. You absorb the cost rather than push back without evidence.
Your service tech finished a job and invoiced it on paper.
Two weeks later, a customer disputes a charge. The parts list is incomplete and labor hours are missing, so you settle for less than you charged.
A buyer asks: “What service work has been done on this car?”
You search through a filing cabinet and hope the inspection sheet was filed. Half the time you come up empty.
You are paying $300+/month for dealer software.
Your 4-person operation uses 10% of what it does. The rest is enterprise features for 50-location chains.
Simple Service Management Built for Independent Dealers — Not Enterprise Chains

Features Built for Independent Dealer Service Operations

Works for a quick oil change or a full pre-sale prep with one record from start to finish.

Faster checkout at the service counter with clear records for every job.
Multi-User Access for Small Teams

Keep a searchable record of every customer, every vehicle, and every service visit.
When a repeat customer returns, you see their full history in seconds.
Built for Independent Dealers — Not Franchise Operations
Garixo is the right fit if you are
- An independent used car dealer with 1–15 service bays.
- A Buy Here Pay Here lot doing in-house service and reconditioning.

- Large dealer groups (10+ locations) needing enterprise reporting.
How it works
- 1. Capture intake details and advisor notes.
- 2. Track status, parts, and warranty context.
- 3. Complete the job and finalize billing.
Turn service workflow into clear revenue
Track parts cost and labor quickly. Know what each job is worth and reduce admin time at the counter.
What Service Operations Look Like for an Independent Dealer Using Garixo
Monday
A 2021 Honda CR-V comes off the auction. You create a work order in Garixo: oil change, brake inspection, rear wiper, and interior detail. Every item logged with parts cost recorded.
Wednesday
The CR-V is ready for the lot. The work order is closed. Total reconditioning cost: $284. You price the vehicle knowing your actual all-in cost.
Friday
A buyer asks what service work has been done. You open Garixo and show the full service record from the week. They see documented care and sign the same day.
Six weeks later
The buyer calls about a check engine light. The pre-sale inspection shows a clear OBD scan, so you have documentation to back it up.
End of month
You review the 14 vehicles reconditioned this month. Average reconditioning cost: $310. You spot three units where labor costs were underestimated and adjust pricing for next month.

FAQ
Common questions from dealership service teams.
What is independent dealership service management software?
It is a simple system that helps independent used car dealers create service work orders, track parts and labor per vehicle, maintain a service history for every unit, and invoice faster — without the cost or complexity of a franchise DMS.
Does Garixo work for a Buy Here Pay Here lot that does in-house service?
Yes. Garixo is well-suited for BHPH operations that handle their own reconditioning and service work. You can track every job per vehicle, see reconditioning cost per unit, and build a service history that supports your sales process.
Can I track the full service history for each vehicle on my lot?
Yes. Every vehicle in Garixo maintains a complete service timeline — pre-sale inspections, oil changes, brake work, detailing, and any additional repairs. You can pull up the full history for any vehicle in seconds.
Can Garixo help me document pre-sale inspections for post-sale protection?
Yes. You can create a detailed work order for every pre-sale inspection, including notes on each item checked, parts replaced, and tech sign-off. This gives you a timestamped record you can reference if a buyer raises a post-sale concern.
How does Garixo compare to DMS software like CDK or Reynolds & Reynolds?
CDK and Reynolds & Reynolds are enterprise DMS platforms built for franchise dealers at $500–2,000+/month. They include OEM integrations, F&I modules, and enterprise reporting. Garixo is none of that — it is simple service workflow software for independent dealers at $79/month. If you need OEM integration, Garixo is not the right fit. If you need clean service records and fast invoicing without the enterprise price, it is.
Can my service tech and I both use Garixo at the same time?
Yes. Multiple team members can access Garixo simultaneously from their own devices. The Starter plan supports up to 5 users. The Growth plan supports up to 12.
Does Garixo track reconditioning costs per vehicle?
Yes. Every part and labor hour logged on a work order is linked to the vehicle. You can see the total reconditioning cost for any unit at any point in the process.
How long does setup take for a small independent dealership?
Most dealers are running their first work orders within 30 minutes. No implementation team, no training manual, no setup call required. Start the 14-day free trial and see how it fits your operation.
