What your site does

Built around how people actually find a garage.

MOT and service booking

Customers pick a day and a slot, pay a deposit or the full price by card, and get a text and email confirmation. You get it in your diary and your inbox.

MOT due reminders

A reminder goes out a month before a customer's MOT is due, with a one-tap link to rebook with you instead of whoever is cheapest on the day.

Found on Google Maps

Your Google Business Profile set up properly: right category, photos, opening hours, services and a steady flow of reviews, so you appear when someone nearby searches for an MOT.

Prices and services, plain

MOT, interim, full and major service with clear prices. No PDFs, no "call for a quote" when the customer just wants a number.

Click to call, tap for directions

On a phone the number and the map are one tap away. Most garage traffic is a phone in a car park.

Fast and yours

Loads in about a second, works on any phone, sits on your own domain. No contract, and if you ever leave you take the whole site with you.

What it looks like

An example garage site, the way yours would arrive.

This is the kind of preview we send: your name, your services and prices, your opening hours and your area, built before you have spoken to us. Open it on your phone and judge it the way a customer would.

Compared with what you may already use

Your own site is not instead of the marketplace. It is the part you own.

Garage questions

What other garages asked first.

We're already on BookMyGarage. Why have our own booking?

Keep it if it brings you work. Your own site is for the customers who search your name or your area on Google, and you keep the whole fee and the customer's details. Many garages run both.

Does it work with our garage management software?

Bookings arrive by email and text and in a simple online diary. If you use Garage Hive, Workshop Software or similar we can usually push bookings into it; tell us which one and we'll confirm before you pay anything.

Can customers pay a deposit for an MOT?

Yes. You choose: no payment, a deposit, or full payment at booking. Deposits cut no-shows sharply. Card payments go through Stripe and reach your bank in about two working days.

What do I need to give you?

Your services and prices, opening hours, and a few photos of the workshop and the team if you have them. We write the words. Most garages spend under an hour on it in total.

What's the catch with the founding offer?

An honest Google review once the site is live, and permission to show your site as an example to other garages. That is the whole deal.

Start a project

Tell us what you need. We'll come back with a plan and a price.

A website, a rebrand, a booking system or something custom. You get a written plan and a fixed price within a few days, and for websites a free preview you can open on your phone. No obligation.
