Booking software for UK MOT centres.

An MOT is a fixed job at a fixed price on a date the certificate already set. Put it on a page, run the ramps off one day view, and keep every car you have tested.

Online booking

The test booked without the phone

The MOT and the pre-purchase inspection sit on your page at their real length and price, so a car only takes a ramp that is genuinely free.

Smart scheduling

The bay, hour by hour, on one board

Every test on one timeline at the length it takes, so two cars never share a ramp and the half hour you could sell is easy to spot.

The date was set for them, not by them.

Nobody books a test because the mood took them. If the page has nothing left before their date, the answer had better not be a dead end.

  • A request rather than a lost car

    When nothing fits, they leave the car, the date they are working to and a number. It arrives as a thread, which is harder to lose 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 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 booking request inside a message thread, answered with accept or decline without leaving the conversation.

A dozen short jobs, not four long ones.

A test 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 tester 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 tester, 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.

Retest

A fail books the next visit.

A pass ends the job. A fail starts a second one, and 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

The first MOT at three years

A car comes to you the year its third anniversary lands. A short slot at a set price, booked off the page rather than over the counter.

The annual MOT after that

Same test, same length, every year. It books as its own service, so the day fills with the right size of job instead of guesswork.

A retest after a fail

The second visit is its own booking against the same car, so the failure items and whatever you quoted against them are already there.

The car left with you for repair

It stays on site, the work is quoted and done, and the retest is booked in the window you have got. All three sit on one vehicle.

Repairs quoted against the fail items

Discs, tyres, a screen wash pump. Itemised while the car is still on the ramp and sent to the owner before they have left the waiting room.

Advisories quoted for later

Not urgent, but worth having. Quote them separately with a use-by date so the owner can come back on their own time.

Pre-purchase inspection for a buyer

A far longer job for someone with no deadline at all. Priced and booked as its own service so it cannot land in a test slot.

Motorcycle and van tests

Different lengths, different ramps. Each one is its own service with its own duration, so the board is not built from one block size.

Trade and dealer test runs

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

A service booked alongside the test

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

Every visit that vehicle has made.

Pro

The work it needs to pass, priced on the ramp.

A fail is a list of items. Itemise it while the car is still up, send it, and let the owner agree before the ramp is wanted by the next one.

  • 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 fixed-price test should not become 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 test and the pre-purchase inspection on it, each at its real length and price, taking a ramp that is genuinely free.

Scheduling

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

Bookings

Every car you have in today, from the one on the ramp to the one due back for its retest, in one list you can filter and sort.

Estimates

Itemise the discs, tyres and bulbs a car needs to pass, send it while the car is still on the ramp, and let the owner accept from a phone.

Customers

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

Inbox

The dealer 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 tester with their own hours and the tests 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 result goes through the official system, recorded by you as the tester, exactly as it does now. Bookables holds the appointment, the car, the quote and the money.

Yes. Put the test and the pre-purchase inspection on your page with their real durations and prices, 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 test slot.

Book it against the same car. The first visit and the quote you wrote from it are already on the record, so the second one is a booking rather than a fresh start.

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 up against, and you answer it in the thread.
