Built for busy independent garages

See it first hand

Have a proper look round.
No signup, no sales call.

This is the real system, loaded with a demo garage's data — quotes mid-flow, cars on the ramp, MOTs due, messages waiting. Click anything. You can't break it.

Texts and card payments are simulated in the demo — nothing is sent, nothing is charged.

Worth a look while you're in there

  1. Quotes — open one and see exactly what the customer gets on their phone, photos and all.
  2. Workshop — every car on site and the stage it's at.
  3. Lois — the AI receptionist, and the promises she's holding you to.
  4. MOT Reminders — who's due, and the texts ready to go.
  5. Bookings — the diary, by bay, drag and drop.

01

Quotes that sell the work

Build the quote in the bay with photos of what you've found. The customer opens it on their phone, sees the picture of the worn disc, and accepts line by line — or asks a question in the same thread.

  • A photo on every job
  • Accept or decline per item
  • No app or login for the customer

02

The whole workshop, live

Every car on site and what stage it's at — checked in, in progress, waiting on parts, ready. Put it on a screen on the wall so the team stops asking, and so you can answer "is it ready?" without walking out to look.

  • Diary by bay, drag and drop
  • Wall-board display
  • Waiting-on-parts flagged

03

Customers who come back

MOT expiry dates come straight from the DVSA, so reminders go out on time without anyone keeping a spreadsheet. Work they turned down gets parked with its photos, ready to go back to them later.

  • MOT reminders on autopilot
  • Two-way texting, kept in threads
  • Declined work kept, not lost

04

Bookings while you're under a car

A booking form on your own website that looks up the reg, shows your real free slots and drops the job into your diary. The customer gets a text back. Nobody had to stop what they were doing.

  • Reg lookup built in
  • Live slot availability
  • Lands in your diary as pending

05

Paid before it leaves

Send a card payment link with the quote. Bigger job? Offer finance in the same message. Once it's paid it syncs to QuickBooks, so the invoice is done before the car's off the ramp.

  • Card payment links
  • Finance on bigger jobs
  • QuickBooks sync

06

MOTs, however you do them

Full DVSA history and defect list from just the reg, and retests tracked automatically. If you send your MOTs out to a partner tester there's a board for allocating them and tracking what's come back — because plenty of garages work that way.

  • Full DVSA history by reg
  • Retests tracked automatically
  • Allocation board if you outsource

Meet Lois

She answers the phone
when you can't.

The phone goes while you're under a car, and it rings out. That's the job you didn't win. Lois picks up, knows which cars are in and what stage they're at, and tells the customer — because she's reading the same system you are.

  • She knows the live job status. Not a script — the actual stage that car is at, right now.
  • She takes a message properly. Reg, name, what they wanted, straight into your messages.
  • She only says what you've approved. You write the answers she's allowed to give, and nothing goes live until you publish it.
  • She holds you to your promises. "We'll ring you by half two" gets logged, and flags up if it's missed.
