03 · HOW IT WORKS

From demo to live in a week.

01

Guided demo

Twenty minutes on a call, walking your own workflow rather than a canned script.

02

Demo environment

Your own login to a fully populated garage so the whole team can click around.

03

Import & configure

We bring in your customers and vehicles, then set hours, ramps and service types with you.

04

Go live

Reminders start, the booking page goes on your site, and the paper diary retires.

The reminders alone filled a slow October. We stopped ringing round and the diary filled itself.

Still stuck? Talk to a human — we answer in under an hour on weekdays.

We keep sign-ups closed on purpose. Every garage gets a guided demo and then a login to our demo environment, pre-filled with a realistic diary, customer list and MOT history — so you are judging the software, not an empty database.

See it running on a real garage’s diary.
