MOT reminder software that fills your diary
Every car you MOT this year is due again in twelve months - but most garages never remind the customer, and that work quietly walks down the road to whoever sends a text first. Motion Bookings tracks every vehicle's MOT due date and sends the reminder for you, automatically.
It's part of the all-in-one Motion Bookings platform, built for UK garages and MOT test centres. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes, no chasing.
Automatic MOT due-date tracking
When you book a car in or run an MOT, its registration and due date are stored against the customer. Motion Bookings watches those dates and flags what's coming due this week, this month and overdue - so nothing slips through.
- Due-date list sorted by what expires next
- DVSA MOT history pulled in by registration
- Overdue vehicles surfaced so you can win back lapsed customers
Reminders by SMS and email - sent for you
Set it once and Motion Bookings sends a friendly reminder a few weeks before each MOT is due, with a link to book online. Customers tap to book; you just watch the diary fill up.
- Branded SMS from your garage name
- One-tap link to your online booking page
- Reminder timing you control
Turn reminders into booked work
A reminder is only useful if it leads to a booking. Each reminder links straight to your Motion Bookings online booking page, where the customer picks a slot - optionally paying a deposit to secure it - and the job lands on your workshop board automatically.
Built for how UK garages actually work
MOT reminders are one part of Motion Bookings. The same system runs your bookings, invoicing, workshop board, customer records and SMS - so the car you remind today is the invoice you raise next week, all in one place.
Frequently asked questions
How does Motion Bookings know when an MOT is due?
It stores the MOT due date against each vehicle - entered when you book the car in, recorded after a test, or pulled from the car's DVSA MOT history by registration. It then tracks those dates and tells you what's coming due.
Are reminders sent by SMS or email?
Both. SMS reminders come from your garage name and get read fastest; email is included too. Each reminder links to your online booking page so customers can book in seconds.
Do I need separate software for bookings and invoicing?
No. MOT reminders are built into Motion Bookings, which also handles online bookings, invoicing, the workshop board and customer records - all on one subscription.
Is there a free trial?
Yes - 14 days, no card required. You can load your vehicles and see your MOT due list straight away.
