Quick one — are you automatically texting customers when their MOT's due?
If not, you're probably losing work to the garage down the road. The customer isn't unhappy, they just got reminded first.
Here's the offer: 28 days free, no card needed. I'll migrate your customer data across from whatever you're using (Garage Hive, TechMan, spreadsheet, paper diary — doesn't matter), and if there's a feature your workshop needs that isn't already in there, I'll build it for you, free.
Bit of background: I'm a software developer — I build production systems (voice AI, booking platforms, EEG signal processing, the proper end of the trade). MyGarage CRM started because a mate of mine runs a garage and was still on pen and paper. He'd tried a couple of the branded ones but none of them did everything he needed, and he couldn't bend them to fit how his workshop actually runs. So I built him one. Other garages asked for it.
It does the full job — MOT workflow and auto reminders, jobs, estimates, proper PDF invoices, diary, parts, staff rota, customer history.
One thing worth flagging: every staff member gets their own login, so they can clock their own jobs in and use the built-in AI mechanic to diagnose awkward faults themselves. Instead of your apprentice interrupting you every ten minutes asking "how do I fix this?", they work it out on screen first. Saves a surprising amount of your day.
Want a 10-minute look on your real data? If you're already happy with what you've got and I'll leave you alone.
