Head to head
Garegi vs Auto Garage Network: which UK garage software?
AGN bundles garage software with website and SEO services. Garegi includes the website and offers SEO as an option. Here's an honest look at both to help you pick the right one for your workshop.
Garegi at a glance
Garegi is a cloud-based garage management system with flat-rate pricing. The garage module is £200 a month with no tiers, no setup fee, no per-user charges. It includes a customer booking website, 300 SMS reminders, GSF parts ordering, Bond wholesale tyres, Mollie payments and free onboarding. Car sales (£80/month) and vehicle hire (£80/month) modules are available separately, each with their own website. An optional SEO add-on at £150 a month provides first-page Google ranking within 5 miles.
Auto Garage Network at a glance
AGN offers a combined garage management system and digital marketing service. The GMS has three tiers from £135 to £400+VAT per month, each with a £500 setup fee. Website packages are sold separately at £150 to £650+VAT per month with build costs from £500 to £6,000+VAT. AGN's headline claim is guaranteed Google positions for garages that take the website plus SEO packages.
The GMS covers core workshop functions, but on the entry tier many features are charged as optional extras. Higher tiers unlock unlimited SMS, VRM lookups and tyre supplier integrations. AGN also offers area exclusivity, a customer app, a technician app and Facebook advertising management as add-ons.

The verdict
These are different products for different priorities. AGN is a GMS plus a digital marketing agency, and its pricing reflects that combination. Garegi is a GMS with the website included and SEO as an optional add-on at a fraction of the cost. If your primary need is the software and a working website, Garegi is considerably cheaper. If your primary need is a managed SEO and marketing service for your garage, AGN's track record in that space deserves consideration.
