GarageCal

Online booking for independent garages and MOT centres. Products are mapped to the bays that can actually do them, so the diary cannot sell a job the workshop has no ramp free for.

Online booking for UK garages

What it does

GarageCal takes bookings for a garage the way a garage actually works. Every product is mapped to the bays that can do it, so if there is one MOT bay the site will not sell an MOT while it is busy. That is the whole difference: most booking software sells a slot on a calendar and leaves the workshop to find out later that it cannot take the job.

Around that sit the things a working garage needs and rarely gets. Bundled offers with a was-price, to fill February and the air-con rush in June. Registration lookup, so the customer types a number plate and the make, model and engine fill themselves in. MOT reminders and one-click rebooking. Confirmations by email and SMS.

Who it serves

Independent garages and MOT centres with one to eight bays, particularly the ones still taking bookings by phone or paying a comparison site to reach their own customers. Not main dealers on a manufacturer system, and not mobile mechanics, who have no bays to map.

How it charges

Prices are published on the page, which in this market is itself the argument: a single bay is free with unlimited bookings, and a multi-bay workshop is twenty-nine pounds a month plus VAT. No commission on a booking, ever, and no contract. The customer stays the garage’s own.
