The best app. Really easy to use, and the customer-recovery reminders are huge for my business. Sending files to customers is simple, and support is the best. When I asked about printing to a thermal printer, they adjusted the system for me. Now I get clean, legible orders with no more big paper sheets.
I run a motorcycle and bicycle garage in Coimbra, Portugal, and decided to give Garage a try. It's easy to use, and the team is incredibly responsive. They quickly adjust the smallest details to fit exactly what we need. Highly recommended.
