Automotive & Valeting

Fill every bay with booked, deposit-paid jobs.

Garages, MOT centres and valeters: customers browse your services, pick a slot and pay a deposit on WhatsApp — and every job lands in your own booking mini-app. A real booking screen for both of you — not a chat thread to keep on top of.

Sound familiar?

Four everyday problems costing you time and jobs.

These are not small inconveniences. They interrupt paid work, delay cash flow and follow you home at the end of the day.

🚗 The reality for busy garages

You’re under the bonnet — and trying to run the front desk.

Customers expect quick replies, simple booking and easy payment, even while you’re under a car and can’t answer.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.
One connected system fixes all four↓
The pain points behind a typical working dayWorking day in progress
08:12
Pain point 01 · Missed enquiries
“I can’t answer — I’m under a car, hands full.”

The caller wants to book now. By the time you call back, they may have booked another garage.

What it costsA job you never get
10:40
Pain point 02 · Endless messages
“What day works? What’s the reg? Is it an MOT or a service?”

A simple booking becomes a long back-and-forth while you’re trying to work.

What it costsHours of unpaid admin
14:00
Pain point 03 · No-shows
“I kept the slot free — and they didn’t turn up.”

Without a deposit, the customer has little commitment and the empty slot can’t be recovered.

What it costsLost time and income
18:15
Pain point 04 · Scattered information
“Was that booked in WhatsApp, my diary or a text?”

Job details, customer messages and payments live in different places — and you have to join them up.

What it costsStress after working hours
Every pain point comes from the same problem: a disconnected booking process.

Case study · Automotive & Valeting

Jobs booked and paid — without picking up the phone

A busy independent garage swapped voicemail and a paper diary for one WhatsApp thread — and stopped losing jobs to missed calls.

🚗 Garage & MOT centre👤 5 technicians · 4 bays📍 Birmingham

The problem before

Calls went to voicemail while the team was under cars, and the job went to whoever got through first. No-shows and time-wasters ate whole afternoons, deposits were chased by text and bank transfer, and the diary lived in a paper book plus the owner’s head.

The Order On Bot setup

Customers now book and get quoted entirely in WhatsApp. Every enquiry picks a service and a real slot, is secured with a card deposit, and drops straight into the right technician’s diary — who runs their whole day from the WhatsApp “My Bookings” view.

WhatsApp Flows bookingService & vehicle captureStripe deposits & card holdsPer-technician & bay diariesBefore/after photosMOT-due reminders

The customer journey — all in WhatsApp

  1. Messages the number from a Google listing or forecourt sign — no app, no website.
  2. Picks the service and a slot in a guided chat flow that only shows real availability.
  3. Gets a clear price with what’s included and a deposit, and accepts it in the thread.
  4. Pays the deposit by card to lock the slot — the booking confirms instantly.
  5. Reminded the day before, then the technician adds before/after photos and takes the balance on collection.

Marketing

Fill your diary — marketing that runs itself

Every job quietly builds your customer list. Then win back quiet customers, remind them when a service is due, and reward referrals — all over WhatsApp, where messages actually get read.

Broadcast an approved WhatsApp offer to the right customers — audiences auto-sorted by booking history (New, Loyal, Big spender, Lapsed, At-risk) — now or scheduled, with delivered & read updating live.
