Detailed online booking
Rego, vehicle, symptoms, warning lights and photos captured before you pick up the phone.
Auto electrician software: mobile bookings & job cards
Auto electricians: know the fault before you get there. Fewer wasted trips. More first-visit fixes.
The phone rings while you're upside down under a dash. The caller says "it just won't start" and gives no rego. You drive across town and the battery it needs is sitting on the shelf back at the workshop. We build booking, job and quoting systems for auto electricians that capture the vehicle, the symptoms and the likely parts before you roll out. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for auto electrician booking software that actually gets the details?
Auto electrical work is diagnosis first, spanners second. A flat battery, a dead alternator and a parasitic drain all look the same over the phone. That's why so many call-outs turn into two trips. Add mobile jobs spread across town, workshop bays booked solid, dual battery installs to quote and fleet managers wanting paperwork. It's a lot to run off a diary, a phone and a pile of carbon-copy job cards.
Wollopit builds custom software for auto electricians around how your business really runs. Customers book with their rego, symptoms and a photo of the dash. Likely parts get flagged so the van is loaded right. Jobs are grouped by area, notes and wiring photos live on the job card and customers pay on the spot. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from auto electricians
Does your auto electrical business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most auto sparkies we talk to can trace a fault through a loom blindfolded. The admin is a different story. It's usually a diary, a phone full of photos and a lot of driving back to the shop.
- The problemVague fault descriptions"It won't start" or "the lights went funny" isn't much to go on. You find out what's really wrong when you get there.How we fix itBooking forms that ask the right questions: rego, make and model, what it's doing, warning lights and a photo or short video of the dash.
- The problemParts not in the vanYou turn up and the battery or alternator it needs is back at the workshop. That's a second trip and a cranky customer.How we fix itLikely parts flagged at booking from the vehicle and symptoms, with a van stock list so you know it's on board before you leave.
- The problemRoadside jobs all over the mapA call-out on the north side, then one down south, then back north again. Half the day is spent driving.How we fix itMobile jobs on a map, grouped by area with travel time shown so the run makes sense.
- The problemMissed calls mid-jobYou can't answer the phone with a multimeter in one hand and a fuse tap in the other. That caller rings the next sparky.How we fix itMissed-call text-back with a booking link so they book themselves in while you finish the job.
- The problemDiagnostic time given awayAn hour chasing a parasitic drain gets written up as "checked electrics" and half of it never gets charged.How we fix itDiagnostic fees agreed at booking, time logged on the job card and findings written up so the customer sees what they paid for.
- The problemAccessory installs quoted by handEvery dual battery, DC-DC charger, light bar or brake controller enquiry means a phone call and a quote typed from scratch.How we fix itInstall packages priced online with options, so customers build their setup and book a bay with a deposit.
- The problemWorkshop and van fighting over the diaryBay jobs, mobile jobs and installs all live in one paper diary. Someone gets double booked.How we fix itOne calendar for bays, vans and techs with job lengths that block out the right amount of time.
- The problemJob notes lost in the phoneWiring photos, fault codes and what you found are in your camera roll with 4,000 other pics.How we fix itNotes, codes, photos and readings saved to the job card and the vehicle history, so the next tech knows what was done.
- The problemFleet managers chasing paperworkFleets want service records, job numbers and one monthly invoice. You're digging through old job cards.How we fix itFleet accounts with vehicle lists, order numbers, full job history and monthly statements.
- The problemInvoicing after you get homeYou finish the roadside job, drive off and write the invoice that night. Some get paid. Some don't.How we fix itInvoice from the phone at the car, tap to pay or a payment link by SMS before you pull away.
- The problemBattery and parts warranty claimsA battery fails under warranty and nobody can find when it was fitted or which supplier it came from.How we fix itEvery part fitted is logged with date, supplier and serial, so warranty claims take a minute instead of an afternoon.
02What we build
Solutions
What we build for auto electricians. Usually all talking to each other.
Pick the one that's hurting most or join the whole lot up. Everything is built around how your team works, not the other way round.
Missed-call text-back
A booking link texted to anyone you couldn't answer, so the job doesn't go elsewhere.
Mobile job scheduling
Roadside and on-site jobs on a map, grouped by area with travel time between them.
Workshop bay calendar
Bays, vans and techs on one shared calendar with job lengths that make sense.
Parts prompts & van stock
Likely parts suggested from the booking and a van stock list that reorders when it runs low.
Digital job cards
Fault codes, readings, wiring photos and findings on the tech's phone, saved to the vehicle.
Diagnostic time tracking
Time logged per job so every hour of fault finding gets charged.

A website that gets the call
Hand-built, fast on phones and built to rank for 'auto electrician near me' and your suburb.
03The systems
The big ones
Your whole auto electrical business, on one system.
These are the systems auto electricians ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly useful when they're joined up.
Booking & fault capture
Know what's wrong before you pick up a tool.
Customers book online or from a missed-call text and tell you exactly what's going on. Rego, vehicle, symptoms, warning lights and a photo of the dash all land on the job before you leave the workshop.
- Rego lookup for make and model
- Symptom questions that change with the fault
- Photo and video uploads
- Roadside or workshop choice
- Diagnostic fee agreed up front
- Missed-call text-back with booking link
- Booking confirmations by SMS
- Urgent call-outs flagged
- Repeat customers recognised
Mobile jobs & van stock
Right job, right van, right parts.
Roadside and on-site jobs sit on a map grouped by area so the run makes sense. Each job flags the parts it probably needs and the van stock list tells you if they're on board.
- Jobs on a map by area
- Travel time between jobs
- Drag and drop between techs
- Likely parts flagged per job
- Van stock levels per vehicle
- Low stock reorder alerts
- On-my-way texts to customers
- Workshop bays and vans on one calendar
- Job notes on the tech's phone
Quotes & install packages
Dual battery quotes without the phone tag.
Customers pick their install online, choose options and see a price range before they book. Bigger jobs like caravan and 4WD setups turn into proper quotes with parts ordered ahead and the bay blocked out.
- Dual battery and DC-DC packages
- Solar, lithium and inverter options
- Light bars, brake controllers and dash cams
- Price ranges shown online
- Online deposits to lock in a bay
- Quotes accepted with one tap
- Parts ordered when the quote's accepted
- Install photos sent on completion
Job cards, fleets & payments
Fix it, write it up and get paid before you drive off.
Job cards hold the fault codes, readings, photos and parts fitted, then turn into an invoice on the spot. Fleet customers get their own account with every vehicle's history and one statement a month.
- Digital job cards on any phone
- Fault codes, readings and wiring photos
- Time logged for diagnosis
- Parts fitted with serials for warranty
- Tap to pay or SMS payment link
- Invoices into Xero or MYOB
- Fleet accounts with vehicle lists
- Order numbers and monthly statements
- Full history per vehicle
04How it changes

- Drive out without the rego or the model
- Battery it needs is back at the workshop
- Second trip to fit it
- Invoice written that night
After
- Missed call texts back a booking link
- Customer books with rego, symptoms and a dash photo
- Right battery flagged and loaded in the van
- Job slotted into the run near your other jobs
- Fixed first visit, notes and serial saved
- Paid on the spot before you drive off

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your auto electrical business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We ride along in the van, stand in the workshop and listen to the phone, then work out what's really costing you time and trips.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your bookings, vans, bays, parts, installs, fleet accounts, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, like booking and fault capture, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things auto electricians ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers really tell us enough to diagnose before we arrive?
Not always, but they can tell you a lot more than "it won't start". The booking form asks smart questions based on the fault, grabs the vehicle from the rego and takes photos. That's usually enough to load the right parts.
Can it handle caravan and 4WD electrical installs?
Yes. Dual batteries, solar, lithium setups, DC-DC chargers and brake controllers can be priced as packages with options. Bigger jobs become proper quotes with deposits.
Can it work for both mobile and workshop jobs?
Yes. Vans, bays and techs share one calendar, so mobile runs and workshop jobs don't clash.
Do we have to stop using our workshop software or ServiceM8?
No. If it's doing its job we build around it, adding the booking flow, parts prompts, install quotes or fleet portal on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve first.
Can we take payment at the side of the road?
Yes. Tap to pay on a phone or reader or send an SMS payment link from the job card. The invoice goes straight into Xero or MYOB.
Can fleet customers see their own vehicle history?
Yes. Fleet managers can log in to see every vehicle, every job, the parts fitted and their statements.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like an online booking form or missed-call text-back can be quick. Bigger systems are built in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most auto electricians we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
