Automotive & Workshops

No approval, no work — and parts margin you can actually see.

Work done beyond the estimate without a recorded approval is work you argue about and usually eat. Consaya makes the approval part of the repair order, and keeps parts, labour and sublet apart so a blended job total cannot hide which one is failing.

How Automotive & Workshops firms use Consaya

Book in and estimate

Capture vehicle, VIN, mileage and condition on arrival, then diagnose and estimate against a real parts and labour price.

Approval to proceed

The customer’s approval is recorded on the order, and additional work needs its own — which is the whole argument, settled in advance.

Parts and sublet

Parts run on stock with real costing; sublet and specialist repairs sit on their own line, so you can see margin on each.

Insurance repairs

Track the claim reference, the approved scope and any supplementary approval, collect the excess from the customer, and reconcile the insurer’s remittance.

Rental and lease

Run rental agreements with deposits, condition reports, Salik and fines recorded against the hire.

In the UAE

Vehicle registration and testing costs are tracked separately, and input VAT on passenger vehicles is treated at the restricted rate the FTA allows rather than in full.

What changes

  • Stop absorbing unapproved work
  • See parts margin apart from labour
  • Reconcile insurer payments to the job
