Free Workshop Management Software for Australian Mechanics
Servicelane Free gives solo and small workshops a real, working platform — bookings, customer records, vehicles, basic invoicing — at no cost, with no time limit.
★ Australian-built & supported
★ 14-day free trial — no credit card
★ Set up in under 15 minutes
★ Cancel anytime
Most 'free workshop software' is a 14-day trial in disguise. Servicelane Free isn't — it's a real plan, no card, no expiry. We built it because solo mechanics and brand-new workshops shouldn't have to choose between proper software and paying their own wages.
What's included in Servicelane Free
Genuinely useful, not crippled.
- Up to 50 bookings per month

What you upgrade to Workshop ($149/mo) for
When the free plan stops keeping up, the Workshop plan unlocks the AI layer that actually grows the business.
- Erica — AI voice receptionist (24/7 call handling)
- Unlimited bookings, jobs, invoices and SMS
- Automated service reminders
- Digital job cards with photos & sign-off
- Xero & MYOB sync
- Google Business Profile growth engine
- Up to 10 user accounts
Why we offer a real free plan
Because the Australian mechanic market needs more good independent workshops, not fewer. If a free plan helps you stay open, that's a win — and most workshops grow into needing the AI layer within 3-6 months anyway.
Frequently asked questions
Is the free plan really free, or a trial?
Really free. No card required to sign up. No time limit. If you outgrow it, you upgrade — but you'll never be cut off.
What's the catch?
No catch on the free plan itself. The volume caps (50 bookings/month, limited SMS) are designed to fit a solo or very small workshop — once you're bigger than that, the paid plan pays for itself many times over in bookings recovered by Erica alone.
Is Servicelane built for Australian workshops?
Yes — Servicelane is Australian-built, GST-aware, and tuned for Australian shop workflows including rego capture, roadworthy/safety certificate jobs, log book servicing, and integration with the Google Business Profile of your physical workshop.
How long does setup take?
Most workshops are running in under 15 minutes. You enter your business details, your services, and your Google Business Profile, and Servicelane configures the booking page, AI receptionist, and reminder schedule automatically. No technical skills required.
