MOT Garage Software That Brings Every Car Back
Every test you do today is next year's booking. GarageSphere makes sure the driver comes back to you for it.
Pass a car this March and, without a reminder, the owner books wherever they see first next March. GarageSphere is MOT garage software that reads each car's DVSA due date, sets the reminder for you, and keeps your ramp full of the same regs, year after year.
- No card required
- Unlimited users on every plan
- No setup fee, no contract
MOT garage software built for a test-centre day
You test the same cars every year, or you should. Most centres run reminders off a wall planner, a memory, or a spreadsheet someone updates when they get a spare minute. Slots go empty. Regulars drift to the centre down the road. Reception loses the morning to the phone instead of booking the next test in.
GarageSphere closes that gap. It runs your diary, your tests, your invoicing and your reminders in one place, and it treats every MOT you do as next year's work.
The reminder engine that fills next year's diary
Test a car and GarageSphere reads its DVSA MOT history by registration, so the expiry date comes straight from the DVSA record rather than a date typed in by hand. It logs the result against the vehicle and sets the reminder. Twelve months on, the owner hears from you first, timed off the real due date and refreshed on its own if that date changes.
That accuracy is what separates a reminder that lands the week the test is due from one that arrives too early to act on or too late to save the booking.
Reminders that run on DVSA data. Pull any car's MOT history and advisories by reg, and let the due date come straight from the DVSA record.
Set once, sent every year. Today's test schedules next year's reminder on its own, with no one having to remember to do it.
Templates made for MOT work. Send reminders, booking confirmations and ready-for-collection messages from templates built for a test centre.
Email included, SMS per message. Email reminders cost you nothing. Add SMS when you want the text as well, charged per message.
Let drivers book their MOT while you're shut
People know when their MOT is due, and plenty go looking for a slot at nine at night. Put booking on your own website and they book the test themselves, straight into your diary, no phone call needed. Your quiet after-hours slots fill while the doors are locked. Online booking sits on the Advanced plan.
Bill the test and clear the ramp
MOT work lives on turnover, so paperwork can't hold up the bay. Raise the invoice off the job, take payment by card at the counter or by a link you text over, and get the next car up. When a fail turns into a bigger repair, offer Payment Assist finance so the customer says yes. Everything reconciles into Xero, Sage or QuickBooks and stays MTD-compliant.
Beyond the test itself: capture photo and video evidence on a vehicle health check when advisories come up (Advanced plan), track test volumes and revenue on a live dashboard, and pull any car's full service and vehicle history by reg. Do more than MOTs under one roof? Our garage software for independent repair covers the full service and repair side.
