Straight answers

Before you start.

Not sure it suits your setup? Contact HoodHero support and ask.

Do I need a card for the trial?

No. Create an account and explore HoodHero for 7 days with no card required. Add payment details during the trial only if you want to continue after it ends.

Can I use it as a mobile mechanic?

Yes. The full Mechanic Desk is designed for a desktop browser, with mobile field tools for work away from the desk. See the mobile-mechanic page and product walkthrough to check the fit before subscribing.

Can my team use it?

Garage Pro currently includes unlimited team members in the web workspace. Each person uses their own sign-in, with roles and job assignments controlled by the owner or manager.

Does it replace my accounting software?

No. HoodHero manages workshop records, invoices and payment status. It offers Xero and QuickBooks Online connections, plus CSV export, but does not replace tax, payroll or statutory accounting software.

What if I need help?

The HoodHero support team is available by email. There is no sales call to book before you can try it. The public web-app guide also explains the setup and everyday workflow.
