Is the TorqueOS garage management system a separate product?
No. The garage management system is the owner’s view of the same connected TorqueOS workshop operating system, rather than a separate product.

Garage management software for UK independent garages
For owner-operators, 1–2 ramp garages and growing independent workshops, garage management software needs to make the commercial day easier to run. TorqueOS is a garage management system (GMS) that lets you follow customers, vehicles, bookings, jobs, technicians, parts, approvals, customer updates, invoicing, payments and reporting through the workshop day, from the first booking through to payment.
Start with what you need. Add more as your workshop grows. Compare the four live packages: Engage £39/month + VAT, Lite £69/month + VAT, Workshop £129/month + VAT and Complete from £199/month + VAT.
Engage is retention-only, not a full GMS. Lite is the complete small-workshop system; Workshop adds team control; and Complete is for running the whole operation. Extras are separate. Grow on one system. Package upgrades stay on TorqueOS; migration from an external provider is separately assessed.
Want to see how it works in your own workshop? Request a Start a 14-Day Free Trial for Lite, Workshop or Complete. Our team arranges setup manually; Engage is not part of the trial.
This page is the product-category overview: how an independent garage can manage its whole commercial operation with TorqueOS, a garage management system built for UK workshops. For a guide to choosing a system, use the garage management system buyer’s guide; for team execution, see the workshop management software overview, which focuses on the workshop floor rather than the category as a whole.

Straight answers
Garage management questions
How TorqueOS fits the practical running of a workshop.
What does TorqueOS help a garage owner see?
Lite at £69/month gives owner/operators and one- or two-ramp workshops a complete small-workshop flow: Booking → Customer → Vehicle → Estimate → Job → Invoice → Payment → Reminder, with basic technician, media and parts handling. Workshop and Complete add deeper operational control as the team grows.
How does this relate to the MOT reminder SMS package?
Engage is £39/month for retaining customers with reminders, not a full GMS. Lite is £69/month for the complete small-workshop system. Moving up a package leaves your TorqueOS system and data in place. Start with what you need. Add more as your workshop grows.
How does TorqueOS connect the wider business?
TorqueOS uses reusable provider wiring to connect the services around the workshop without rebuilding the underlying platform. Accounting connectors, vehicle-data support and payment infrastructure are built, with integration-ready architecture for technical data, parts and tyres. Live provider access and package scope are confirmed separately; file exports are not live sync.
Is TorqueOS tied to a parts supplier?
No. TorqueOS leaves buying choices with your workshop. Parts and job costing support the work inside TorqueOS, with integration-ready wiring for catalogue, fitment, supplier pricing, availability and ordering. Activating a supplier depends on API access and commercial agreement; it does not imply live supplier comparison or automatic ordering.
Can I move to TorqueOS without migrating my data?
Upgrading between TorqueOS packages keeps your data in the same TorqueOS system. Moving from another garage system is a separate data-migration assessment: the information that can be transferred depends on the source system and available exports.
