Put a registration in
Any real UK plate. It comes back with the make, the model, the mileage and the day the MOT runs out. Use LB19 KFP to see one that is nearly due, or HK64 XPT for one that has already expired.
Online booking, instant registration lookup and automatic MOT reminders. Built for independent garages in Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis. There is a working one you can try before you ring me.
I built one for a garage that does not exist so you can click it rather than read about it. Nothing on it is a picture of a website. The booking diary, the registration lookup, the reminders and the rewards card all work.
Any real UK plate. It comes back with the make, the model, the mileage and the day the MOT runs out. Use LB19 KFP to see one that is nearly due, or HK64 XPT for one that has already expired.
Pick a day and a time out of the diary, choose whether to pay now or at the counter, and confirm. You get a reference and a calendar file, the way your customer would.
Enter an MOT expiry date and it shows you the exact days it would text and email, this year and next. That is the part that brings the customer back.
It is a demonstration, so the garage, the prices and the reviews are made up, and the phone numbers are the fictional ranges Ofcom reserves for exactly this. Nothing on it sends a message, stores a detail or takes a payment.
Most garage websites are a phone number and a photo of a workshop. These are the parts that pay for themselves.
You set the ramps, the hours and how long each job blocks out. Customers only ever see slots you can actually take, and it lands in the workshop diary and on your phone at the same time. Most people book in the evening, when you are shut.
Straight from the DVLA vehicle enquiry service and the DVSA MOT history record. Make, model, engine, fuel, mileage at the last test and the exact MOT expiry date. Fewer wrong parts ordered and a quote you can give on the spot.
Thirty days and seven days before the MOT is due, with a link that books a slot in two taps. Then again for the service. Nobody has to remember, and it happens every year on its own. This is the single feature that stops a customer googling "MOT near me".
Card payment or a deposit through Stripe when they book, or nothing at all if you would rather settle at the counter. An empty ramp stops being free. Card details never touch your website.
Six services and the next one is half price, money-off codes with real expiry dates, and referral credit that only pays out once the work is paid for. No paper cards to get lost in a glovebox.
The customer logs in with a registration and a mobile number and can download any invoice as a PDF. Worth real money to them the day they sell the car, and it is your record of what you advised and when.
Straight answers, and every quote confirmed in writing before any work starts.
Services, prices, opening hours, MOT information and a contact form, built properly and fast on a phone. My published starting price for a small business site is £245 and you own it.
Right if you want to be findable and look professional, and you are happy to keep taking bookings on the phone.
Everything in the demo: the booking diary, the registration lookup, the automatic MOT and service reminders, the rewards card and card payments. Built with your name, your prices and your slots on it.
The £950 is a one-off and you own the site. The £60 a year is the renewal invoice for the domain and hosting, and you can say no to it without the site stopping being yours.
One price, paid once. The site is yours at the end of it.
A .co.uk domain registered in your name, included. The site is yours from the day it goes live, with no deposit, no instalments and nothing to sign up to. Hosting and SSL are covered for the first twelve months.
One invoice a year, not a subscription. It renews the domain, the hosting and the SSL certificate. Say no to it and the site and the domain are still yours to take anywhere.
The honest bit. There is no monthly payment and no direct debit to set up. You buy the site once and own it, instead of paying the same amount every year forever and owning nothing at the end of it. The domain is in your name from day one, so if you ever want to leave you take everything with you.
What the yearly invoice covers, and what it does not. It covers hosting, your domain, the SSL certificate, email, software updates, backups, quarterly checks and two hours of changes a year, which is the same care plan every Regan IT site gets. On top of that, text messages are metered and cost a few pence each, billed at what they cost me, so a garage sending a few hundred reminders a year spends pounds rather than hundreds. Email reminders cost nothing. The DVLA and DVSA data is free and I apply for the keys as part of the build. Card payments go through your own Stripe account, so their fee is between you and Stripe and I never touch the money.
What you charge, what you will not do, how many cars a day you can take and which jobs you actually want more of. Half an hour, no charge.
Fixed price, what is included, what it costs to run and when it will be done. Nothing starts until you have said yes to it.
The part only you can do. Your MOT price, your service prices and a few phone photos of the workshop. Real photographs beat stock images every time.
You see it and use it before anyone else does. I set up the DVLA and DVSA keys, load your existing customers and MOT dates if you have them on a spreadsheet, and stay on the end of the phone afterwards.
The DVLA vehicle enquiry service and the DVSA MOT history service. Both are official government sources and both are free for a garage to use. I apply for the access keys as part of the build, which takes a few days, so it is worth starting early.
Yes, for the customers you already do work for. A reminder that their MOT is due is a service message to an existing customer, which is what the marketing rules allow, and every message carries a way to stop them. Anything that is really an offer rather than a reminder is kept separate and switched off by default, so you stay the right side of it.
Sometimes. If it is a modern site I can often bolt the booking and reminders onto it and leave the rest alone. If it is an old template that nobody can log into any more, it is usually cheaper to rebuild than to repair. I will tell you honestly which one you have.
No, and you should not. Plenty of customers will always ring, and the site is there to take the ones who would rather not. The phone number sits at the top of every page and is tap-to-call on a mobile.
No. Pay at the garage is the default in the demo for a reason. Deposits are worth considering if no-shows leave you with an empty ramp, but plenty of garages run it with no payment at all and it works fine.
For the build, yes. That is the site and every system in the demo, with your prices and your slots on it, and you own it. The only ongoing cost is the £60 a year renewal plan and the text messages, which are a few pence each and billed at cost. If a garage needs something genuinely bespoke on top I will quote it separately and in writing before doing it, not add it to the bill afterwards.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name and the site is yours. If you ever want to move it elsewhere I hand over the files and help with the transfer. Your customer list and MOT dates are yours too, and I will export them for you whenever you ask.
Five minutes on your phone will tell you more than I can. If it looks useful I will build you your own, with your name, your prices and your slots on it. If it does not, no harm done.
