Independent garages and MOT centres often run on a combination of paper job cards, whiteboards, and the receptionist’s memory. It works — until a job gets forgotten, a part isn’t ordered, or a customer complains.
What a Custom Workshop System Does
- Job cards: Digital job tracking from booking to completion. Labour hours, parts used, and customer approval all recorded.
- MOT reminders: Automatic reminders to customers when their MOT is due. Fills your diary without marketing spend.
- Parts tracking: Stock levels, supplier details, and cost tracking. Know your margins on every job.
- Customer database: Vehicle history, previous work, contact details, and notes — all searchable.
MOT reminder emails alone can generate significant repeat business. One garage reported a 25% increase in MOT bookings after implementing automated reminders.
