The workshop OS we build and run.
PitlaneHQ is an all-in-one workshop management platform for Australian and New Zealand automotive workshops — jobs, diary, invoicing, stock, SMS, leads and payroll on one screen. Designed, built and operated end-to-end by Surau Engineering.
Software development, proven in market.
What it does
The complete shop floor — and the back office behind it.
One platform that runs the whole workshop, from the customer's first call to a paid invoice and the lead that brings them back.
Quote to invoice in one flow
From the moment a customer rings to the second the invoice clears — one workflow, one screen.
The whole week at a glance
A live workshop diary: bays, techs and jobs scheduled and tracked in real time.
Invoices in seconds
Labour, parts and line items to a paid invoice without ever leaving the job.
2-way SMS & lead pipeline
Capture leads, message customers both ways, and chase the work that grows revenue.
Stock, parts & payroll
Parts lookups, stock control and payroll — the back office on the same platform as the floor.
Plays nice with everything
Parts, accounting, payments, messaging and automation — connected via webhooks and APIs.
