Frequently asked questions
Will Motion Bookings do everything Autowork Online does?
It covers the core a busy garage uses every day - bookings, MOT reminders, invoicing, the workshop board and customer records - with modern online booking and deposits on top. Some long-established systems carry very deep stock or factoring features aimed at larger motor factors; Motion Bookings keeps things focused and easy for independents. The free trial is the best way to check fit.
Is there online booking for my customers?
Yes - your own booking page, open 24/7, with optional deposits collected via Stripe and bookings landing straight on your workshop board.
What does it cost?
From £39/month per garage, with clear pricing shown up front and a 14-day free trial that needs no card.
Can you help me get started?
Yes - we'll help you import your customers and vehicles and get set up. Most garages are up and running the same day.
