Ford Focus · MOT · Sat 8:30 with Steve
New message · 9:52pm
Darren asked about an MOT for his Focus
All of this happened without you.
Sound familiar?
Still answering messages
at midnight?
You do this for the cars. Not for the phone.
Messages all evening
"How much for an MOT?" "Can you fit me in Saturday?" You answer from the sofa, every night.
No-shows
An hour kept free for a car that never came. No deposit, nothing back.
Notes in your head
Whose MOT's due, what you did to the Focus last time. It's all in your head, or a notepad somewhere.
What you get
Less time on your phone.
More time with the cars.
The bits that eat your evenings, done for you.
Online booking, day and night
Customers book from their phone, any time. They only see times that are really free.
Rev, your receptionist
Rev answers messages, books cars in, takes the deposit and moves bookings. If it's not sure, it asks you.
Deposits that hold the slot
You choose the deposit. No deposit, no slot. If they don't show, it's yours to keep, if you choose.
A record for every vehicle
The car, when its MOT's due, its service history and photos. There every time they book.
Reminders, sent for you
Carbooks emails to confirm, then again the night before. Fewer forgotten MOTs.
Circles
Your regulars bring their mates, and the businesses you recommend send customers back. Carbooks keeps count.

From the workshop
Mechanics who got their evenings back
The kind of difference Carbooks is built to make.
“The deposits did it. I used to lose a couple of hours a week to no-shows. Now they pay when they book.”
Gary T.
Garage owner · Bolton
“I'm on driveways all day. Rev answers while I'm working and I check the bookings at lunch.”
Kev A.
Mobile mechanic · Cornwall
“Every car's history is on the record. My new lad knew what we'd done to a regular's van before he opened the bonnet.”
Priya S.
Garage owner, three mechanics · Leicester
Made-up examples, not customer reviews. Carbooks hasn't opened yet. Real reviews will replace these when it does.
