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
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.

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.
Learn moreA 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.
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.
Accept and it becomes a real booking on the ramp you choose. Decline and it closes. Neither one needs a phone call.
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.
Anything before Friday? My test is on the 15th.
A checking day runs in half hours. Move one car and everything behind it still has to make sense by half past four.
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.
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 car that never appeared is marked as a no-show on the booking, so the slot reads as lost rather than quietly as finished.
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.
The first visit, what it found and the quote you wrote from it are already on the record, so nothing is typed twice.
The first check and the one it sent back sit in the same filterable list, so a vehicle waiting on you is never invisible.
Put the return visit in the slot you can actually give it, and it holds against everything else on the board.
What you book
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A yard putting several cars through a week books them itself and keeps one thread with you, rather than ringing on every single one.
Two services on one visit, each with its own duration, so the ramp is held for the real length rather than the hopeful one.
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 brought it, how to reach them and what they still owe, on one record you can open mid-conversation.
Sent, opened, agreed. You can see which owner has read the list of items and which has not, without ringing to ask.
The yard that sends you cars all week keeps one conversation, with its booking requests answered inside it.
Each tester carries their own hours and their own work, so a slot is only ever offered when somebody can take it.
The check, what it failed on, the repairs you quoted and the money that came in, in one line each and in order.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Card payments, on the booking page or taken at the desk, are the single part of the money that needs Pro. Nothing else does.
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
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.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.

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.
