Question 1

How do I create my first job?

Accepted Answer

Go to 'New Job' from the sidebar. Enter the vehicle registration (UK/IE/ES lookup available), select or create a customer, add a description, then save. You can add costs, notes, photos, and payments from the job details page.

Question 2

How do I send an invoice to a customer?

Accepted Answer

Open any job and click 'View Invoice'. From the invoice page, click 'Send' to share via email or SMS. Customers receive a secure link to view and download the invoice as a PDF. No login required for them.

Question 3

How does the vehicle lookup work?

Accepted Answer

Enter a registration number when creating a job. Mekavo uses VDG (Vehicle Data Global) to fetch make, model, colour, fuel type, engine size, tyre specs, and battery details. Supports UK, Ireland, and Spain.

Question 4

What is the AI Part Scanner?

Accepted Answer

Take a photo of any car part and Mekavo's AI (powered by Claude) identifies it, estimates pricing for 7 cost types (OEM, aftermarket, budget, remanufactured, salvage, dealer, and performance), and suggests labour time. Add identified parts directly to your job as costs.
