Booking software for vehicle inspection garages in Ireland.

The test happens at the test centre. The work that gets a car through it happens at yours. Book it off a page, run the ramps off one day view, keep every car.

Online booking

The pre-test check, booked in advance

A pre-NCT check and a pre-purchase inspection sit on your page at their real length and price, so a car only takes a ramp that is free.

Smart scheduling

The whole ramp, hour by hour

Every check on one timeline at the length it takes, so two cars never share a ramp and the half hour you could still sell is obvious.

Their date was set for them.

A test date arrives in the post, not on a whim. If your page has nothing before it, a dead end just sends the car down the road.

  • A request rather than a lost car

    When nothing fits, they leave the car, the date they are working to and a number, and it arrives as a thread rather than a missed call.

  • Answered where it arrived

    Accept and it becomes a real booking on the ramp you choose. Decline and it closes. Neither one needs a phone call.

  • One ramp, one car

    The overlap is refused in the database, so it holds whether the booking came off the page, out of the inbox or from your own hands.

A dozen short jobs, not four long ones.

A checking day runs in half hours. Move one car and everything behind it still has to make sense by half past four.

  • Drag it somewhere else

    A car arrives late or a mechanic goes home. Drag the job to a different time or a different person and commit the lot in one go.

  • Only the hours you are open

    Hours come off each mechanic, and the hours nobody is on are hatched out, so the page cannot sell a slot after you have locked up.

  • A no-show is a status of its own

    A car that never appeared is marked as a no-show on the booking, so the slot reads as lost rather than quietly as finished.

Work before the retest

A fail books the next visit.

A pass ends the job. A fail starts a second one, and the work before the retest belongs against the same vehicle rather than in a fresh file.

  • Booked against the same vehicle

    The first visit, what it found and the quote you wrote from it are already on the record, so nothing is typed twice.

  • Both visits in one list

    The first check and the one it sent back sit in the same filterable list, so a vehicle waiting on you is never invisible.

  • The window is yours to hold

    Put the return visit in the slot you can actually give it, and it holds against everything else on the board.

What you book

Every check that comes through the workshop

A pre-NCT check before the test date

Lights, tyres, brakes and emissions gone over before the appointment, so the owner is not paying for a fail they could have seen coming.

A first pre-NCT check at four years

A car reaching its first test comes in for a look first. A short slot at a set price, booked off the page rather than over the counter.

Work to clear a fail before the retest

The retest is booked at the test centre. The work is booked with you, against the same car, with the fail sheet already on the record.

Repairs quoted from the fail sheet

Discs, tyres, a bulb, an emissions issue. Itemised while the car is still up and sent to the owner before they have left the yard.

Pre-purchase inspection for a private buyer

A far longer job for somebody with no deadline whatsoever. Priced and booked as its own service so it never lands in a short slot.

A check before a car is put up for sale

The seller wants to know what a buyer will find. Same inspection, different reason, and its own service on the page with its own price.

An imported car looked over

A longer job that cannot share a slot with the quick ones. Give it a duration of its own and the page stops overbooking the morning.

Dealer and trade checks

A yard putting several cars through a week books them itself and keeps one thread with you, rather than ringing on every single one.

A service booked alongside the check

Two services on one visit, each with its own duration, so the ramp is held for the real length rather than the hopeful one.

Fleet checks for a local operator

Cars booked back to back under the one customer, each keeping its own record, so the run does not collapse into one long note.

Who is on, and what they test.

Each tester carries their own hours and their own work, so a slot is only ever offered when somebody can take it.

Every visit that vehicle has made.

The check, what it failed on, the repairs you quoted and the money that came in, in one line each and in order.

Pro

The work it needs to get through, priced up front.

A fail sheet is a list. Itemise it while the car is still on the ramp, send it, and let the owner agree before the ramp is wanted again.

  • Agreed online, not on the counter

    They type their name to accept and it is stamped with the time, so the go-ahead on a pair of discs is in writing before anyone starts.

  • Accepting books it back in

    The accepted quote becomes a booking carrying its own lines, so the car is back on a ramp without the job being written out twice.

  • A price that sees itself out

    Give it a use-by date and a number written today quietly lapses, rather than being produced eight months later as though it still stands.

The items a vehicle needs put right, itemised and sent from the workshop.

Paid at the desk, or before they arrive.

A set-price check should not turn into a chase. Take it as they book, take it as the keys come over the counter, or write it up after.

  • Cash and transfer cost nothing

    Write a cash or bank transfer payment onto the job by hand with the date it landed, on any plan. That part is free and stays free.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Card payments, on the booking page or taken at the desk, are the single part of the money that needs Pro. Nothing else does.

  • Paid into your own account

    Card money is paid out by Stripe into your own account. Bookables never holds it and never puts itself in the middle.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your vehicle inspection business.

Online booking

Your own page with the pre-test check and the pre-purchase inspection on it, each at its real length and price, taking a ramp that is free.

Scheduling

Every check on one day view, so a ramp never takes two cars at once and somebody walking in drops into the first gap that is really open.

Bookings

Every car you have in today, from the one on the ramp to the one back after its fail sheet, in one list you can filter and sort.

Estimates

Itemise the discs, tyres and bulbs a car needs to get through, send it while the car is up, and let the owner accept it from a phone.

Customers

Every owner and every car they have brought you, with the registration and each check you have done on it kept on the one record.

Inbox

The yard putting several cars through a week keeps one thread with you, and its booking requests are answered without leaving it.

Email reminders

Switch on a confirmation as they book and a reminder the day before, so the ramp you set aside is not sitting empty at eight in the morning.

Team

Each mechanic with their own hours and the work they are set up to do, so a slot is only offered when somebody can genuinely take it.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer written onto the job by hand, for nothing. Taking the fee by card at the desk or on the page is the Pro part.

Common questions.

No. The test is carried out at a designated test centre and nowhere else. Bookables holds the appointments you take, the car, the repair quote and the money.

Yes. Put it on your page with its real duration and price, alongside the pre-purchase inspection, and the page only offers slots a ramp can turn around.

Each is its own service with its own duration. A pre-purchase inspection takes the time it takes, and the page will not sell it as a quick check.

Book the work against the same car. The earlier visit and the quote you wrote from it are on the record, so nobody is starting from a blank page.

Yes. Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand on any plan. Card payments, at the desk or on the booking page, come with Pro.

They leave a request rather than leaving. It arrives in your inbox with the car and the date they are working to, and you answer it in the thread.
