Dealership accessory platform · Bowers Applied Technologies

Garage

The accessory platform dealerships run as their own.

Your customers personalize the vehicle they are already buying, on a tablet with your name on it — every price complete and installed, every timeline one your shop can keep.

Live in dealerships · Onboarding is handled directly, not self-serve

The actual product

This is the software, not a picture of an idea.

Every screen below is a real capture of Garage running, taken against a demonstration store. No mockups, and no live dealership's data.

The Garage opening screen, branded for a dealership called Northside Motors, with a Start Your Build button.

Catalog artwork shown is placeholder. Your manufacturer's product photography is loaded during implementation.

Chapter 01 / 06

It opens as your store.

Your mark, your name, your colors. Nothing on the screen tells the customer who built it.

Captured from the running product against a demonstration store on a disposable database. Every name, price and address shown is fictional.

One platform, every marque

Your logo goes on the badge.

Each store gets its own emblem, its own contact details and its own customer documents. The tour above happens to be captured under one of them.

  • Northside Motors Garage emblem
  • Valley Auto Group Garage emblem
  • Coastal Automotive Garage emblem

The dynamic catalog

Your menu changes without a developer.

Accessory pricing moves constantly — new parts, new labor times, seasonal offers. Changing what your floor sells takes minutes, and nothing reaches a customer until you say so.

  1. 01

    Sync

    Subscribe to a governed source library or upload your own workbook. Your draft picks up new products and corrected facts without touching a single thing you have already overridden.

  2. 02

    Choose

    Switch a product on or off for a given vehicle. Set your installed price, your labor time, your photo, your description, and the order it appears in on the floor.

  3. 03

    Preview

    Before anything moves, see the exact customer-facing change set — what is new, what changed price, what disappears — plus any error that would block publishing.

  4. 04

    Publish

    One click writes an immutable release and points your store at it. Roll back to an earlier one whenever you want. Customers only ever see a published release.

You run it

Your admin owns the menu and publishes on your schedule. Useful when your pricing is genuinely yours and changes often.

We run it

Hand it to us and take a maintained catalog every month. You keep read access, you still preview every change, and you can take the keys back at any time.

Wherever you happen to be standing

Tablet on the floor. Laptop at the desk. Phone in the lane.

Garage is a web application. There is nothing to install, nothing to update, and no app store to wait on — you open a link and sign in. The same build, the same prices, and the same catalog follow the person, not the device.

  • Designed tablet-first, with 44–48px touch targets
  • Full keyboard access and a WCAG 2.2 AA foundation
  • An in-progress build survives a dropped connection
  • Documents print to a clean page, or save as a PDF

What you get

A selling tool on the floor. Your catalog behind it.

The showroom experience is the half your customer sees. The other half is the control that keeps every price, timeline, and offer honest.

On the floor

A guided path, not a parts list

Vehicle-aware from the first tap: plain-language benefits, your complete installed price, and how soon it can be on the car. Built for a tablet in the hands of whoever happens to be standing there.

Your catalog

You decide what you actually sell

Hundreds of parts can exist without a single one reaching a customer. You pick the offer, the installed price, the labor time, the photo, and the order they appear in — per vehicle, per store.

Kept current

Maintained monthly, or entirely yours

Run the catalog yourself, or hand it to us and take a maintained update every month. Either way you preview every customer-facing change before it goes live, and roll back if you do not like it.

Across the group

One standard, every rooftop

Add a store and it inherits the standard without inheriting another store's prices, branding, or phone number. Each person sees only the work that belongs to their role and their store.

Why it can be trusted with a price

A quoted price is a promise you have to keep.

So the guarantees below are built into how the system works, not into a policy someone has to remember on a busy Saturday.

Request a technical review
  • Prices are recalculated on the server before any quote leaves the building
  • Nothing reaches a customer until you publish it
  • Every publish is versioned, and every version is reversible
  • One store's pricing, branding, or contact details can never surface at another
  • Tablet-first: large touch targets, keyboard access, WCAG 2.2 AA foundation
  • If the connection drops, it never claims a quote was sent when it was not

The naming model

One platform. A name that belongs to your dealership.

The product is Garage. At each dealership the working identity becomes [Dealership] Garage — a store named Northside Motors operates as Northside Motors Garage, with its own mark, contact details, and customer documents.

That keeps the platform clear without asking a dealership to give up the name and trust it has spent years earning.

Working with Bowers

You are not buying software and wishing yourself luck.

Every dealership running Garage is onboarded by the people who built it. There is no reseller in the middle and no outsourced first line.

  1. 01

    We build your catalog with you

    Your products, your installed pricing, your labor times, your identity. You are not handed an empty workspace and a manual and left to populate it on a Saturday.

  2. 02

    Your floor learns it in a morning

    The tool is the training. Managers get the workspace walkthrough separately, and someone hired next month picks it up on their first shift without a class.

  3. 03

    Support comes from the engineers

    Releases, safeguards and answers come from the team that writes the platform. Nothing routes to a call centre working from a script about a product they have never operated.

  4. 04

    It has to earn its place

    Accessory gross is lost in conversations that never happen. Garage makes that conversation happen on every vehicle, at a price your store can stand behind afterwards.

See it on your own floor

Bring us your accessory list. We will show you it selling.

A walkthrough runs about thirty minutes. Afterwards we stand up a workspace with your store's identity, your offers, and your pricing so you can judge it on your own numbers.
