Garage Hive opens API access to drive next generation of workshop innovation

Garage Hive has unveiled a major new open-platform strategy by making its Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) fully accessible to customers using its ‘Garage Link Advanced’ module.

The move gives independent garage owners, software partners, and internal developers the freedom to build custom integrations, deploy AI agents, and extend the platform beyond its standard functionality. 

As workshops increasingly adopt bespoke digital solutions to reduce administration and improve customer service, Garage Hive says an open platform gives businesses greater flexibility to develop the specialist tools they need, rather than relying solely on standard software features.

“Garage owners are becoming increasingly sophisticated in the way they use technology,” explained Ray Dilsons, Managing Director at Garage Hive. “Every workshop is different, and the pace of innovation, particularly around AI, means new ideas are emerging faster than any single software provider could hope to develop them all.

“Our role is to provide a secure, reliable platform that gives garages and development partners the freedom to build the tools that best support their businesses. We see that as the future of garage management systems.”
