Booking, reminders and workshop software built for garages
Independent garages, MOT centres and mobile mechanics lose work to whoever's easiest to book. We build the online booking, MOT/service reminder and workshop tools that fill your diary and bring customers back — and we've shipped exactly this before.
The problems we solve for motor trade & garages
No online booking = lost jobs
Customers book the garage they can sort in ten seconds on their phone at 9pm. If yours means a phone call in office hours, you're losing them before they call.
Repeat revenue walks out the door
Every MOT and service is a reason to come back — but only if they're reminded. Without automated MOT/service reminders, that repeat work goes to whoever texts them first.
The diary is chaos
Paper diaries, spreadsheets and phone-tag don't scale. Double-bookings, no-shows and admin time eat the margin on every job.
You're invisible online
A slow, dated or missing website means you don't show up when someone searches 'garage near me' — and you can't compete with the chains on trust signals.
How we help
Online booking that fills the diary
Mobile-first booking so customers can book a slot in seconds — services, MOTs, repairs — with the controls you need over availability and job types.
MOT & service reminders
Automated reminders (with DVSA MOT-history lookups) that bring customers back before their MOT lapses — turning one-off jobs into repeat revenue.
Workshop & job management
Tools to manage bookings, jobs and customers without the paper diary — built around how a real workshop actually runs.
Fast, findable websites
Mobile-first, SEO-ready sites that load fast and rank locally, with the trust signals customers look for before they book.
Real, shipped capabilities for the motor trade — not a template you have to bend to fit.

Booking, MOT reminders and the systems behind them
We build and run the software the motor trade actually needs — online booking, automated DVSA MOT reminders and the integrations that join them to your workshop. Not theory: it's the same tooling we run in production for Book A Mechanic Online and JF Motor Repairs, backed by the IT support and security that keeps it up.
Talk about your systemsFrequently asked questions
Do you build online booking for garages?
Yes — it's exactly what we've shipped. FixFinder, Book A Mechanic and JF Motor Repairs all run booking flows we designed and built, from mobile-first customer booking to the controls the workshop needs.
Can you do MOT and service reminders?
Yes, including DVSA MOT-history lookups so reminders are accurate. Automated reminders are one of the highest-ROI things a garage can add — they turn one-off jobs into repeat revenue.
Will it work on mobile and show up on Google?
Yes. Everything we build is mobile-first and SEO-ready — most 'garage near me' searches happen on a phone, and our motor-trade sites are built to load fast and rank locally.
Do I have to replace everything I use?
No. We build to fit how your garage already works — booking and reminders can sit alongside what you have, or we can build a fuller workshop tool if that's what you need.
