A garage adds its booking link to its Google listing. Customers choose a service, diagnostics or a pre-MOT check, and the day is organised by mechanic before the doors open, with no calls to line up times.

Appointment booking software for auto repair shops: a clear front desk at 8am
Your customers book online for a service, diagnostics or pre-MOT; you organise the day by mechanic, and reminders (Starter and up) help stop cars that never turn up.

A repair shop phone always rings at the worst moment
In a workshop, whoever picks up the phone usually has grease on their hands or a car on the lift. Every call to book an appointment interrupts a repair, and appointments scribbled at the front desk end up in misunderstandings.
At 8am the scene repeats: a queue at the desk, every car arriving at once and dead hours in the afternoon. Without an orderly appointment system, the day's workload is a lottery.
And then there is the car that never shows: you booked two hours of lift time for a timing belt and the customer forgot. Without an automatic reminder, that slot dies empty.
Auto repair scheduling software built for the workshop
01
Online appointments 24/7
Service, oil change, diagnostics, pre-MOT, tyres… each job with its estimated duration. The customer picks the slot from your link on Google Maps or your website, without calling.
02
Calendar per mechanic
Organise the day by mechanic and spread the load: no more five cars at 8am and an idle workshop at 4pm. Each one with their own column, never booked twice at once.
03
Reminders: bring the car in (Starter and up)
An automatic reminder before every appointment. The customer who forgot either comes or warns you in time to give the slot to another job.
04
Customer record and history
What was done to the car last time, when and what was recommended. Next time they call, you have the context in front of you in seconds.
05
Real hours, real slots
Set workshop hours, holidays and blocks. Online booking only offers slots you can truly take on.
06
No commissions, no middlemen
The booking link is yours and your workshop's. Flat monthly price, unlimited bookings within your plan and no percentage per appointment.

Frequently asked questions
How much does BookingForNow cost?
There is a Free plan to get started, the Starter plan is €29/month and the Pro plan €79/month. Pay yearly and you get 2 months free. Every new account starts with a 14-day free trial with the Pro features, no card.
Is there an appointment app for auto repair shops?
Yes — with nothing to download: BookingForNow works as a web app on any phone or computer, with no installs and no updates to keep up with. You manage your calendar from the browser and your customers book from your business link.
Do I need a card for the free trial?
No. The 14-day trial does not ask for a credit card. You create your account with your email, set up your services and hours, and decide at the end whether to continue. If you do not, you are charged nothing.
How do my customers book?
You share your booking link on your Google Maps listing, your website or WhatsApp. The customer picks the type of job (service, diagnostics, pre-MOT…), the day and time among the free slots, and gets the confirmation. No calls and no apps to install.
Can I organise the calendar by mechanic or lift?
By mechanic, yes: each mechanic has their own column, you assign them their appointments and nobody is booked twice at once. The calendar shows the full workshop day at a glance. Lifts and workstations, however, have no calendar of their own: you still decide which car goes on which lift.
Do you charge a commission per booking?
No. BookingForNow has flat pricing: we take no percentage per booking or per new client. Some marketplace platforms do charge for each new client; check the current rates of yours.
