Hands in the engine, the counter overflowing.
A clutch to finish for tonight, the phone ringing for a service slot, a quote promised since Tuesday that will have to be typed up after closing, and a customer calling for the third time to ask whether their car is ready. The mechanical work does not wait, and neither does the admin.
A garage's real seam of gold sleeps in its customer file: dozens of vehicle inspections and services falling due every month, and nobody has time to send reminders. Every forgotten reminder is a customer taking their vehicle inspection to the competitor next door or to a budget centre, and sometimes never coming back. Meanwhile, unanswered quotes pile up and invoices to business customers drag on. All of that is handled very well automatically, with your existing data.
A customer list that works all by itself.
We automate the upkeep of the customer relationship around the workshop, without touching the way you work metal.
You keep control of the hours, the tone and the pace of the messages. We set everything to the way you work, and the system follows it.
- Vehicle inspection and service reminders, based on each vehicle's history
- Online workshop booking, confirmed immediately
- Quotes sent cleanly and followed up if they go unanswered
- Automatic message as soon as the vehicle is ready, no more calls to the counter
- Google review request after the visit, and follow-up on unpaid business invoices
A vehicle inspection, from end to end.
Take a customer whose vehicle inspection expires in six weeks. Here's what the scenario, built in n8n, does in your place.
The workflow keeps an eye on the due dates in your customer file. Six weeks before the date, it sends the customer a message with a booking link: three clicks and the slot is in your garage schedule and confirmed. The day before, a reminder heads off the missed appointment and the disrupted day. On the day, when you mark the vehicle as ready, the customer gets a message straight away, which clears the counter of “is my car done?” calls. If there was extra work, the quote goes out cleanly and follows itself up after a few days of silence. The next day, a Google review request, and for your business customers, the invoice follows itself up automatically until it is paid. At every step, the real state of things is checked: no reminder for an appointment already booked, no follow-up for a quote that has been accepted. The result: a garage schedule that fills up with your own customers, and evenings with no paperwork.
What garages ask us.
Where it all connects.
For a garage, the key building blocks are quote automation and invoice follow-up automation, especially for trade customers. Automated appointment booking fills the garage schedule without the phone. And our NFC plaques on the counter collect the reviews that make people choose your garage over another. It is all on the automation hub. For a flow specific to your garage, we do custom builds. The best thing is to talk it over: book a coffee with us.
To size up what is at stake, the savings calculator works out in a minute what these tasks cost you over a year.
