In short: Gest'Garage costs 19 € per month all included, and on October 20, 2026 I recorded AutoProGestion at 29 or 59 € HT per month, Kwixéo from 22 to 89 € per month and GAD Garage from 85 € per quarter. Gest'Garage suits a garage of one to five people doing general mechanics. Custom software never beats the 684 € of Gest'Garage over three years, unless the subscription costs an hour a day in re-entry.
Gest'Garage is the cheapest garage software among those that display their prices: 19 € per month, all-inclusive. It’s also the one I mention first to a lone mechanic asking where to start. Before recommending anything, I re-read their page on October 20, 2026, then compared the pricing grids of other garage software providers that publish their rates. Here’s who Gest'Garage is best suited for, what might make you hesitate, three alternatives with their prices, and when a custom tool might be justified.
What Gest'Garage Costs in 2026
As of October 20, 2026, Gest'Garage offers a single plan at 19 € per month. This is the amount you pay—the publisher is VAT-exempt, so no VAT is added. No contract is required; cancellation is online, with a 14-day free trial (no credit card needed), and a 20% discount for annual payment (though the discounted price isn’t displayed). Up to five collaborators are included; beyond that, you must contact the publisher. An additional garage under the same account costs 10 € per month or 96 € per year.
Everything is included in the plan: unlimited quotes, repair orders, and invoices; invoices in Factur-X format and receipt via an approved platform; electronic signatures for quotes and repair orders; advance invoices and credits; FEC accounting export; URSSAF declaration assistance for sole traders; a quote request form for your website; workshop scheduling and online appointment booking; customer and vehicle records entered via license plate; parts inventory with alerts; used vehicle sales with detailed records and ads; included SMS (appointment reminders, vehicle ready notifications, follow-ups); email campaigns up to 5,000 sends per month; setup and one hour of training; client file migration; hosting in France; ten-year archiving; and data export at any time.
Who Gest'Garage Is Best For
An independent garage with one to five employees, operating from a single location, wanting to create quotes, repair orders, and invoices online, book appointments via their website, and send SMS—all for a fixed, easy-to-understand price. If you’re still invoicing on Excel or a notebook and your needs match those of a standard mechanics workshop, this is the first software to try: the 14-day trial doesn’t require a credit card, and client file migration is included.
What Might Make You Hesitate
An independent publisher. Gest'Garage is developed by a single person, VAT-exempt. This keeps costs low but raises questions about continuity: who will respond if the publisher stops? The reassuring points are the ability to export your data at any time and the ten-year archiving mentioned on their page. Perform an export in the first month to verify it’s complete.
No manufacturer pricing databases. The page doesn’t mention timed estimates, parts catalogs, or integration with technical databases (DAT, GTmotive, AutoData). A body shop that relies on expert pricing or a garage that uses manufacturer times will find this lacking.
Five collaborators, one site. Beyond five users, pricing isn’t public; each additional garage adds 10 € per month. A network of multiple workshops should compare this with multi-site plans from other publishers.
No mobile app announced. The page doesn’t mention iOS or Android apps—the software is browser-based, including on mobile. Test entering a repair order from your phone during the trial.
Three Alternatives to Gest'Garage, With Their Prices
Prices listed on each publisher’s website, checked on October 20, 2026.
AutoProGestion, 29 or 59 € HT per month. Starter at 29 € HT (24 € HT annually), up to 100 clients and two users: quotes, invoices, scheduling, and online appointments; repair orders with condition reports; maintenance logs with QR codes; cash register. Pro at 59 € HT (49 € HT annually): unlimited clients and users; remote signatures; SMS and email reminders; inventory; FEC accounting and Pennylane connector; used vehicle fleet with police records; vehicle video inspections; license plate and registration reading. An Enterprise plan (custom quote) for multiple locations. No contract; 14-day trial; mobile app in development.
Kwixéo, 22 to 89 € per month. Essential, Pro, and Expert plans at €18.33, €49.17, and €74.17 VAT-exclusive per month when paid annually (€22, €59, and €89 per month), with a 14-day free trial without a card. Vehicles and repair orders from Essential, inventory and payment links from Pro, multi-depot inventory from Expert. A general management software with a garage module: the right choice if you also sell parts or accessories, or if you rent out vehicles.
GAD Garage, starting at €85 per quarter. The software runs on Windows, version 12, with a limited free version and technical database integrations (DAT, GTmotive, AutoData) available as separate subscriptions. For a workshop that wants its data on its own machines and works with experts. I’ve covered GAD Garage in another article.
To compare these software options in one table and determine which suits your workshop, visit my page on automotive garage software: a free six-question test, the 2026 compliance rules, and downloadable repair order and estimate templates. The case ofAutoProGestion also has its own article.
If none of these fit: the custom solution
Gest'Garage handles estimates, repair orders, and invoices for a standard auto mechanics garage very well. Where it falls short—like other market software—is in features specific to your workshop: flat-rate pricing by service type with varying rates per vehicle, tracking mechanic hours, fleet management for professional clients, and multiple workshops with separate inventory and schedules. I developed Gest-Time, a mechanic hour-tracking software still used by SMEs, for this kind of need: a tool that does one thing, exactly as the business operates.
Pricing-wise, a custom add-on next to your subscription costs €2,500 to €7,000 once. A full management software ranges from €5,000 to €15,000 upfront with me, plus €100 to €300 per month for maintenance, hosting, and backups included, and you own the code. Over three years, Gest'Garage costs €684. Custom solutions never beat this number: they win when a subscription costs you an hour daily in re-entry or workarounds. My custom software pricing benchmark shows the ranges of 14 French providers to verify a quote.
How to Choose in One Day
Take the six-question test on my garage software page. Then run the software through a full day during its free trial: a phone-approved estimate turned into a signed repair order, a part added mid-process, the invoice, and a six-month technical inspection reminder. If you re-enter data once, you’ll do it every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Gest'Garage offer a free trial?
Yes, 14 days without a credit card until October 20, 2026, with all features, then €19 per month with no commitment.
Is the price of Gest'Garage excluding or including VAT?
The displayed amount, 19 € per month, is what you pay: the publisher is VAT-exempt (Article 293 B of the French Tax Code), so no VAT needs to be added. For you, it’s a VAT-free expense that you can reclaim.
Does Gest'Garage handle electronic invoicing?
The page mentions invoices in Factur-X format and receipt via an approved platform. SMEs will have to issue electronic invoices starting September 1, 2027; this is already addressed with this publisher, but check with others.
What alternative to Gest'Garage is there for multiple workshops?
AutoProGestion offers an Enterprise package on quote with a group view; with Gest'Garage, each additional garage costs 10 € per month under the same account. Beyond two or three locations, a custom solution with scheduling and stock per site becomes an option.
Can you leave Gest'Garage without losing your history?
The page states that you can export your data at any time. Export clients, vehicles, and invoices, and ensure your new tool can import them; in a custom solution, data migration is part of the quote.
You’re unsure which one to choose?
Describe your workshop to me in a few lines: number of staff, what you still do manually, and what annoys you. I’ll reply within 24 hours, and if Gest'Garage at 19 € is enough, I’ll let you know.
