Garage131 Development Roadmap
Where Garage131 has been and where it's headed
Our Progress
We're excited to have you join us on our journey. This roadmap outlines where Garage131 has been and where it is going. Our alpha and beta phases are complete — multi-user accounts, account and organization management, the notification framework, the Vehicle Reservation System (VRS), and shared lists are all live in the product. The Release Candidate stage has since added a rebuilt dashboard, a guided service wizard, dark mode, finer-grained controls, and Snap-a-Fuel-Pic. Right now we're improving maintenance schedules and reminders, with work orders and security updates up next. Priorities shift as we learn from you, so anything beyond the current stage is a direction, not a promise.
