About Motion Bookings
Updated 4 July 2026
Motion Bookings is UK garage management software for independent garages and MOT test centres, covering online bookings, MOT reminders, invoicing, a live workshop board and staff HR in one system. It's built for the trade, not IT departments: nothing to install, works on any device, and a 14-day free trial needs no card.
It replaces the paper diaries, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups a lot of UK garages still run on, without asking a garage to change how it actually works.
Who it's for
Independent UK garages and MOT centres - from a single mechanic to a multi-bay workshop with several staff, and owners running more than one location.
What's included
Every plan covers the day-to-day a garage actually runs on: online bookings with optional Stripe deposits, MOT reminders with DVLA/DVSA lookup and Smart MOT class detection, invoicing with VAT, and a live workshop board the whole team sees in real time. Vehicle Health Checks let a mechanic log red/amber/green findings with photos that a customer reviews and approves online, feeding straight into the invoice. Staff accounts come with rota, clock-in/out, holidays and wages, and a garage that sells tyres gets a branded tyre storefront and booking link built in.
What it costs
Three plans from £39 to £149 a month per garage location, priced per location rather than per user - unlimited staff logins on every plan. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no card required, and there's no exit fee for cancelling.
What makes it different
- No per-user or per-mechanic charge
- Runs in a browser on any device - no install, no server
- Set up and taking bookings the same day, without an onboarding project
- Built mobile-first, for people on the tools as much as the back office
- Multi-location support with a shared SMS number and Stripe Connect account
