Mechanic Mate
A head-to-head look at how Mechanic Mate and Autorox stack up for Indian garages — features, pricing, platforms, and who each one is actually built for.
For independent and small Indian garages (1–10 mechanics): Mechanic Mate is the better fit — mobile-first, GST-native, ₹299/month with a 30-day free trial, and it runs on Android, iOS and web.
For dealership networks: Autorox is worth evaluating — an enterprise-grade workshop dealer management system (DMS) aimed at multi-branch dealership networks and large service operations, with strengths in the areas Mechanic Mate deliberately doesn't focus on.

Most small garages that switch this direction have the same story: they were on a bigger tool that fit an earlier plan (multi-branch dream, mid-market pitch), realised they only ever used 20% of the features, and wanted to run everything from their phone instead. Here's how to make it clean.
For a 1–10 mechanic garage: no. Autorox is designed for dealership networks and multi-branch enterprises. Mechanic Mate is designed for the exact use case Autorox isn't: the solo owner running everything from a phone. If you're a dealership network with 5+ branches and formal reporting hierarchies, Autorox is a better fit.
Not today. Mechanic Mate is single-location by design. Multi-branch consolidation is on the roadmap but not the current fit for a dealership network. Autorox is built for that segment.
Autorox uses enterprise quotes, which vary widely by deployment size. Mechanic Mate is ₹299/month or ₹1,999/year, one price, all features. For a single independent garage, Mechanic Mate is dramatically less expensive.
For a single-location garage, yes — GST-native with CGST/SGST/IGST split, HSN codes, PDF invoice, WhatsApp share. Autorox's billing is deeper because it plugs into its broader DMS/accounting stack, which matters for dealerships but rarely for independent garages.
Mechanic Mate — significantly. It's a phone app with a small deliberate feature set. Autorox is an enterprise DMS with training, role configuration and rollout. Different tools for different jobs.
Most garages that switch this direction are downsizing from a multi-branch tool that was overkill. Start the free 30-day trial, export your customer + vehicle list from Autorox, and email support@mechanicmate.in — we'll help you re-import cleanly. Typical switch time: 1–2 weeks running in parallel.
