Garage management software built for UK garages
Updated 1 July 2026
Garage management software is a single system that runs a garage's day-to-day work - bookings, MOT reminders, invoicing and the workshop board - in place of paper diaries, spreadsheets and WhatsApp. Motion Bookings is garage management software built specifically for independent UK garages and MOT test centres, from £39 a month with no per-user charge.
Rather than one big, complicated system, Motion Bookings is built from focused parts that work together: online booking, MOT reminders, invoicing, a live workshop board, staff HR and a tyre storefront. Each is strong enough to stand alone; together they replace every spreadsheet a garage usually runs.
Online bookings and MOT reminders
Customers book online, 24/7, on their own device - no phone call needed. Every vehicle's MOT due date is tracked automatically, with SMS and email reminders sent for you, linking straight back to your booking page.
- Your own branded online booking page
- Automatic MOT due-date tracking and reminders
- Optional Stripe deposits to cut no-shows
Invoicing and the workshop board
A finished job becomes a clean, VAT-correct invoice in seconds - parts, labour and any deposit already taken are carried across automatically. The whole team sees the same live workshop board, so everyone knows what's queued, in progress and ready for collection.
Staff, HR and tyres - one system, not five
Per-mechanic logins with custom permissions, rota, clock-in/out and holidays keep HR out of a spreadsheet. Every plan - including Starter - also includes a branded tyre-shop page for garages that sell tyres, at no extra cost: customers pick their size, choose a fitting slot and pay online, with stock managed from the same dashboard.
