Could you build this?
Partial The standard workshop scheduling and invoicing features are simple CRUD, but UK garage software requires integration with the DVLA/MOT history database API and VRM (Vehicle Registration Mark) lookups.
What it would actually take: The system uses a standard web framework (e.g., Next.js, Django) paired with PostgreSQL for managing job cards, parts inventory, and invoicing. The key specialized components are integrations with official UK DVSA MOT testing APIs, third-party VRM lookup services (like HaynesPro or DVLA APIs for vehicle specifications), and SMS gateways for reminders. This requires registered commercial API contracts and garage workflow domain compliance.
