European & Japanese vehicle specialist
Multi-brand quoting without losing track of open jobs
Gulf Motors Workshop · Al Quoz, Dubai
Gulf Motors Workshop in Al Quoz works across European and Japanese marques — different parts lead times, different labour rates, same front desk. GRX gave them a job board and linked quotations so nothing slips between bays.

The workshop
Al Quoz is busy. Gulf Motors sees everything from routine service on daily drivers to longer jobs on European imports where the customer wants a written quote before any work starts.
Different brands mean different parts suppliers and different approval habits. Some customers approve on WhatsApp; others want a printed quotation. Either way, the workshop needs one record of what was agreed.
What wasn't working
Open jobs were tracked on a whiteboard and in a notebook. When the board got rubbed clean on Friday, Monday started with guesswork.
Quotations were often a separate Word or PDF — if the customer approved a revised scope, the bay might still be working off the old version.
Month-end revenue meant exporting bank deposits and trying to match them to jobs that had already left the shop.
How they use GRX
New work comes in as a job card with customer and vehicle linked. Due dates and assigned technician show on the Kanban-style board so the owner can see bottlenecks without walking every bay.
Quotations are built inside GRX with parts and labour lines. When the customer approves — in person or over the phone — the job moves forward on that same quote. No duplicate entry.
Completed jobs become VAT invoices in AED. The dashboard shows open job count and revenue without pulling data into a spreadsheet.
What changed
- Job board with assignments and due dates the whole team can see
- Quotations tied to the job that becomes the invoice
- Customer and vehicle history on repeat visits — last service, open recommendations
- Monthly revenue and open jobs visible without manual exports
“We were good at fixing cars. We were bad at knowing which jobs were waiting for parts and which were waiting for approval. The board fixed that.”
