HOW-S201How long does setup take?

About 42 minutes of your time for a typical one-location shop: sign-up, shop details and a starter catalogue. Imports and fine-tuning can follow over the first week.

HOW-S202Do I need to install software?

No. AutoShop POS is hosted; you use it in a browser on a PC, tablet or phone.

HOW-S203What do I need before I start?

Your labour rate, tax rates, a list of your main services and fast-moving parts, and ideally a CSV export of customers from your current system.

HOW-T204Do I need a card for the trial?

No. The 14-day trial needs no card. Add billing details only if you decide to keep going.

HOW-T205Does trial data carry over?

Yes. Everything you set up in the trial stays when you subscribe.

HOW-H206Will someone help me set up?

Yes. Onboarding includes a free CSV import and a check of your first invoices. Fleet gets a named onboarding contact.

HOW-H207Can I get a demo first?

Yes. Book a 30-minute demo on your own shop’s jobs, by video or WhatsApp.

HOW-S208When does the online store go live?

As soon as you save products marked to sell online. You can keep it hidden until you are ready.
