A booking flow your customers will actually use

Both solutions share the same intelligent booking engine — fast, mobile-friendly, and built around how garage customers think.

Vehicle Identification

Customers identify their vehicle instantly by licence plate. VIN and manual year/make/model selection are also supported.

Service Selection

MOTs, fixed-price services, and custom jobs — clearly listed with prices, quote requests, or appointment-only options.

Tyre Ordering (optional)

Customers browse vehicle-specific tyre sizes, compare brands, and book fitting online. Integrates with national tyre suppliers.

Appointment Scheduling

Real-time availability from your calendar. Set opening hours, lead times, blocked dates, and bay capacity from the dashboard.

Flexible Payments

Offer pay-at-shop, online card payment, or finance options at the point of booking — whatever works for your customers.

Reminder Automation

Automated MOT, service, and tyre check reminders by SMS and email — keeping your diary full without any manual effort.

Smart Service Calculator

Accurate quotes, generated automatically

Pricing a service accurately takes time — cross-referencing parts costs, applying markup, factoring in labour. BOOKAR's Smart Service Calculator does it instantly, behind the scenes, using your own rates and live supplier pricing.

Customers submit a quote request through your booking page. BOOKAR calculates the price automatically — pulling live parts costs, applying your labour rates and markup, and generating a complete, accurate quote ready for you to review and approve. No spreadsheets, no manual lookups, no back-and-forth.

You set the rules. BOOKAR does the maths.

Within BOOKAR, you define your labour rates, preferred suppliers, parts markup, and brand preferences per service. The calculator works within those parameters — so every quote reflects your pricing, not a generic estimate.

Common questions

Do I need to change my existing website?

Not at all. The booking widget installs on any existing website with a single code snippet. We handle the installation for you.

How quickly can I get started?

Most garages are live within 2 days. For a new full website, allow around 3–4 weeks from go-ahead.

Do I have to show prices?

It's completely up to you. Each service can be configured to display a fixed price, accept quote requests, or let customers simply schedule an appointment.

Can I sell tyres through the booking system?

Yes — tyre selling is an optional add-on. Customers enter their reg, see vehicle-specific sizes, and book fitting online. We integrate with national tyre suppliers.

Is there a contract?

No. We operate on monthly rolling contracts because we'd rather earn your loyalty through results than lock you in.

Does online booking connect to the BOOKAR GMS?

Yes — if you're on BOOKAR's full garage management system, online bookings flow directly into your workshop pipeline. Job cards are created automatically and your live calendar availability is shown to customers at the point of booking.

What if I already have a Google Reviews presence?

The complete website solution includes Google Reviews integration — your existing reviews are pulled directly onto your new website.
