For garages & MOT · Midlands

A booking in the time it takes to find the keys.

Nobody browses a garage site. They want the MOT booked, the price visible and the phone number reachable from a car park. Speed is the design.

MOT booking · from the car park
01 · the real issue

An MOT isn't shopped for. It's due.

The reminder lands, the driver wants it dealt with, and the booking goes to whichever garage makes that take the least effort.

Nobody browses
They want the MOT booked and the price visible, then they're gone. Every extra tap hands the job to someone else.
The missed reminder
The due list lives in a diary or someone's head, and the MOT-due reminders never quite go out each month.
The signal problem
People book from the car park, the drive, the queue outside school. The page has to load on one bar of signal.

That's why this page is lean, and so is the site I'd build you. Nothing sits between the driver and the booking button.

02 · the site

What good looks like for a garage.

This is Vale Motors, a garage concept I built to show the standard. Hover it and it walks through itself.

  • 01Booking on the first screen

    A reg plate, a day, done. No account, no PDF price list, no "call for availability".

  • 02Prices people can actually see

    The MOT and the common services, priced on the page. Certainty is what wins the booking over the garage that says "ring us".

  • 03Reviews with names, and your specialisms

    Real reviews next to the makes you know inside out. A stranger handing over their keys wants both.

  • 04Fast on one bar of signal

    No hero video, no bloat. The page has to work where people actually book: standing next to the car.

Vale Motors is a concept, not a real garage. Yours gets built on your prices, your reviews, your bays.

03 · the other half

The jobs that eat the afternoon.

A site gets the booking. These three run underneath it, and every one is a small build.

MOT reminders that never go out

Today

Last year's customers are due back this month, and the list to remind them sits in a diary or a spreadsheet. It gets done when someone has a quiet minute, which is never, so the car quietly goes elsewhere.

What I'd build

MOT-due reminders that send themselves by text, booking link in the message. A year on, the car comes back without anyone in the workshop touching a list.

Authorisation calls, all afternoon

Today

The car's on the ramp and needs more than it came in for. Now someone's off the tools ringing the customer, leaving a voicemail, waiting, ringing again, while the ramp sits occupied.

What I'd build

A photo of the worn part and a one-tap approve link, sent by text. The customer sees what you see and says yes from their desk. The phone call happens only when they'd rather talk.

Review requests left to memory

Today

Everyone means to ask for the review at collection. It's the last thing anyone remembers at half five with a row of keys to hand back, so the happy customers leave quietly.

What I'd build

An automatic review ask after collection, sent while the customer's still pleased the car's back and sorted. Reviews build up without anyone remembering anything.

If you want the numbers for your own setup, I'll build you a proper ROI on the jobs worth doing. If you've lived these three, that's the point.

04 · what it costs

Priced like a piece of kit.

Most garages take the subscription: nothing upfront, one monthly amount, and the website stops being a job for a quiet January.

Starter
£149/mo
Nothing upfront · 12-month term

The garage site done properly. Booking on the first screen, prices visible, reviews and your specialisms up front, hosting, changes and care, bundled.

Start with Starter
Rather pay once? Builds start at £595 with care plans from £49 a month. The full ladder is on the pricing page, and I'll always tell you if the smaller option fits.

They just want the MOT booked. Make it ten seconds.

Fifteen minutes on the phone and I'll tell you what I'd build, what it costs, and whether it's worth doing at all. If your current site just needs a booking button, I'll say so.
