Drivers work across correctly equipped US auto shop lift bays

The seized bolt is your afternoon.

A four-hour booking is a guess. When it turns into seven, the bay is occupied by a car that will not start and cannot be moved out of the way.

  • Hoist bays and flat bays are different

    Half the jobs people hire a bay for need a lift. Listing them separately stops a brake job being sent to the concrete space in the corner.

  • The bay is named on the booking

    Bay 2, not "a bay". When somebody runs over you can see exactly what is held and what is still free without walking the workshop.

  • Booked is booked

    A confirmed bay leaves the page immediately, so the Saturday hoist everybody wants cannot be sold to two owners at once.

Built for your workshop

Built for every kind of bay hire

Saturday brake jobs

Guests reserve live auto shop bay inventory, and completed checkout removes that exact lift bay block immediately.

Weekend restoration work

Schedule assigned auto shop bay time weekly or monthly on Free, ending after set sessions or on the selected date.

Mobile mechanic rentals

Protect the complete reservation, including vehicle check-in, while unrelated inventory remains available.

Car-club mornings

Keep the organizer and two-post lift requirements together for the person running the facility that day.

Flat-bay service blocks

Attach approved weekend repair details to the reservation so the resource is ready when guests arrive.

Full-day lift rentals

Send an itemized estimate for the bay days, the lift hours and any tooling.

Jobs running longer

An owner moved to another bay keeps the payment status and every job booked before it.

Bay turnovers

Close the specific resource for bay turnover while every unaffected space remains online.

A list of quotes showing whether each is sent, viewed or accepted, and when it was last opened.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your bay hire business.

Online booking

List hoist, lift and hard-standing blocks only when the correct bay is free. A reserved vehicle job removes that workshop space.

Scheduling

See vehicle arrivals, hoist time and bay clean-downs on one garage calendar, with the exact lift or flat bay on every reservation.

Standing bookings

Schedule a restorer’s mechanic bay weekly or monthly on Free, ending after the final Saturday in the agreed project run.

One bay, one job

A booked bay leaves the page at once, so the hoist somebody paid for at eight is not also promised to a service at eleven.

Estimates

Itemise a weekend repair, lift time and agreed equipment in a estimate, retaining the accepted garage plan for the booked day.

Email reminders

Email the renter their bay, vehicle arrival time and workshop access notes ahead of the car reaches the roller door.

Customers

Store each renter’s vehicle jobs, bay choices and payment history together when the same project car returns for the booked day.

Team

Give the workshop manager one view of vehicles, lift reservations and bay turnovers ahead of the first bonnet is opened.

Payments

Track cash or transfer for a bay session on Free, or take the full bay hire fee by card as the lift bay is reserved on Pro.
