How to keep track of your lubricenter without depending on memory

A typical lubricenter in Peru serves between 15 and 40 vehicles per day. The owner knows how much he charges by heart, writes down the services in a notebook and checks the stock of oils by physically counting the cans. It's a system that works — until it doesn't.

When the notebook becomes a problem

  • A customer calls asking if their vehicle is ready and no one knows exactly what condition it is in.

  • A technician uses the last oil filter without warning and the next customer waits while they search for refills.

  • At the close of the day, the owner adds up the charges on paper and the total does not match the cash on hand.

These are problems of information — not capacity. And they have a solution.

What a lubricenter or small workshop needs

Simple and fast service orders

When you enter a vehicle, you open an order: customer, license plate, service, assigned technician. The order progresses through states until delivery. The owner sees in real time what each technician is attending to.

Plate history

When a frequent customer arrives, you see in seconds all the services you did before, what oil they used, when the last change was. That builds trust — and retention.

Warehouse with stock alerts

Current and minimum stock per product. When using a spare part in an order, the stock automatically decreases. When it drops below the minimum, the alert appears. Without physically counting cans.

Clean daily box

Opening and closing of cash with summary of income and expenses. The owner knows exactly how much he brought in each day, without a calculator or blind trust.

CarStation: designed for the small workshop

CarStation is not a system for dealerships or workshops with 20 technicians. It is for the lubricenter or independent workshop with 2 to 8 people who wants order without complications.

The price starts at S/ 80/month — accessible to any independent workshop or lubricant center. Annual plan at S/ 800 (2 months free) and a single payment at S/ 2,500 if you prefer that the system be yours forever by deploying it in your own account.
