Virtual Assistants and Bookkeepers for garages and mechanics
When you’re running a busy garage, jobs, customers and suppliers take priority, and paperwork can pile up. Feral HQ can help keep your admin and bookkeeping organised, so you can keep your business moving.
Bookkeeping services that help move your automotive business forward
Running a garage is busy enough without chasing invoices, checking payments, sorting receipts, or wondering whether your figures are telling the full story.
Feral HQ provides bookkeeping services for mechanics, garage owners, MOT centres and automotive workshops that want their finances handled properly, without the faff. We’ll keep your books accurate so you can make better financial decisions based on what is actually going on rather than on guesswork.
Because in the motor trade, money moves quickly: parts, labour, MOT fees, supplier bills, card payments, cash payments, tools, diagnostics, wages, VAT, tax, expenses. It all needs to be recorded properly, especially when you are managing parts inventory or working close to the VAT threshold.
By outsourcing your bookkeeping, you can:
- Save time on admin
- Reduce the risk of financial errors
- Improve HMRC reporting accuracy
- Stay on top of tax obligations
- Focus on getting more customers through the door
Don’t worry if your books are less than perfect: we like a challenge! We’ll have your bookkeeping clean in no time, so you can see your finances at a glance without having to dig through spreadsheets at the end of a long day.
Our support is flexible and scalable depending on the needs of your business. Whether you are a self-employed mechanic moving towards becoming a limited company, a sole trader planning for VAT registration, or an established garage business with payroll and reporting needs, we can help you stay compliant and keep your business on track.
Automotive businesses we work with
If you are a business owner or manage an automotive business, Feral HQ is here to make your life easier. If keeping accurate records and managing daily admin is getting on top of you, just reach out to our team for help.
Automotive workshops
Many people who run busy workshops feel out of control when it comes to business finances. One week, you’re ordering parts, booking in labour, chasing supplier invoices and taking deposits. The next, you’re trying to work out why the bank balance does not quite match how busy you have been.
The Feral HQ team can whip the financial side into shape. From bookkeeping and supplier payments to cash flow and financial reporting, we’ll keep things organised behind the scenes, so you can price work properly, spot patterns earlier and make decisions based on real numbers.
MOT centres
MOT centres run on volume. Test fees, repairs, retests, parts, card payments, cash payments and wages all move through the business quickly, often before anyone has had a chance to make sense of the numbers.
Feral HQ keeps your records clean, current and easy to use, so you can see what is coming in, what is going out and where your profit is actually sitting. We can also keep your VAT records tidy by separating MOT test fees from repairs, parts and labour.
Mechanic businesses
For mechanics, the biggest challenge is often wearing too many hats. It’s hard to focus on the job in front of you when the phone is ringing off the hook, you need to place an urgent parts order, and quote requests are stacking up.
Feral HQ gives you practical support that fits around how your business really works. We can help with bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, tax records and everyday financial guidance, giving you a clearer view of income, expenses and profit without dragging you away from the tools, the team or the customers who need you.
Independent garage businesses
Many garages grow through word of mouth, but if your admin is a mess, it doesn’t do your business justice. To keep things ticking over and customers coming back, we can help with daily admin like calendar management and getting to the bottom of your inbox.
On the finance side, we can track income and expenses, manage VAT and monitor profitability, so you can keep control of cash flow and clearly see where your money is going.

Always at hand to help...
Taylor at Feral is brilliant at what she does!
She’s been looking over our accounts for the past few years and has managed to get it to a place which isn’t quite so feral anymore!
Taylor has helped us with general bookkeeping, the dreaded CIS & HMRC, and also with any payroll questions I have. Taylor has spent hours going through past errors and making sense of it all and reporting back with next steps.
She is very precise and always at hand when we need her and willing to run though anything with me that I’m not too sure on (which is a lot – sorry).
If you need any bookkeeping / accounts help, then Taylor is your girl!

Definitely knows her stuff...
I could not recommend the Construction Power Hour enough, after chatting with Taylor and answering the initial fact finding questions we found that we were using a few really good apps and processes already, the insight Taylor gave into these apps however and suggestions on where we were under utilising them was invaluable.
She definitely knows her stuff.
The report we received within 24 hours was clear and concise, it made new recommendations in each area and suggested the way it would benefit us. The things to do page was also really helpful for us to break everything down and focus on our next steps.
All in all, I loved it! Such a good process and experience from beginning to end! Thank you!
Future is bright with Feral...
We have been working with Taylor at Feral HQ for nearly two years and we are completely happy with the services being provided.
