MOT workshop software that keeps the test bay full
An MOT bay pays your rent — but only if it's full. GarageOS is designed to keep MOT slots filled with the right kind of work, at the right times of day.
DVLA lookup on every booking, MOT-only slot rules, per-bay capacity and automatic MOT reminders turn your test bay into a predictable revenue line.
Who it's for
MOT-authorised UK garages who want to fill test slots without living on the phone.
MOT-only slots
Configure a bay as MOT-only so it never gets blocked by heavy work.
DVLA reg lookup
Fills make, model, fuel and current MOT date at booking.
MOT reminders
SMS or email nudges when a customer's MOT is due.
Class-aware slots
Class 4 and Class 7 slot durations set separately.
Fast Lane menu
MOT is always in the online menu — it's the fastest job to convert.
Retest tracking
Retests are linked to the original MOT and don't double-count capacity.
Why it matters
MOT-only workshops and multi-bay garages both benefit: the software knows which bays can test and which can't, and only offers test slots against real capacity.
Every MOT booking creates a customer + vehicle record, so next year's reminder writes itself.
What you get
- Predictable weekly MOT revenue
- Fewer wasted test slots
- Customers rebook themselves next year
- Retests never get lost
