The workshops we work with

In their own words.

  • “Before Marlin Tyre & Mechanical Workshop Software, we had separate solutions for job quotes, invoicing, accounting and a website. Nothing was connected, and there was a lot of double handling. With Marlin, most of these headaches have gone, and I feel in control of my business.”
    Hamad AjajeOwner, Canberra Tyres, Canberra A.C.T.
