MOT Booking System UK
AI phone receptionist that books MOTs and services over the phone, sends SMS confirmations and reminders to customers, and fills your garage diary — 24/7, even when you're under the bonnet.
How the MOT Booking System Works
Customer Calls Your Garage
They dial your existing landline or mobile. The AI phone receptionist answers instantly in your garage name: "Good morning, Millfield Motors, how can I help?"
AI Books the MOT or Service
Captures vehicle reg, customer name, contact number. Checks your garage diary for available slots. Books the appointment — all within a single phone call.
SMS Confirmation Sent Instantly
Customer receives an SMS with their booking date, time, garage address and what to bring. You receive an SMS + email with full booking details.
Automated Reminders Follow
24 hours before the appointment, the customer gets an SMS reminder. When MOT is next due, they get a reminder text weeks before — bringing them straight back to your garage.
Hear How the AI Books MOTs & Services Over the Phone
Here's exactly what your customers hear when they call. Three real examples — MOT booking, full service, and advisory follow-up:
Call 1: MOT Booking
Customer: "Hi, I need to book an MOT please."
AI: "Of course! Can I take your vehicle registration number?"
Customer: "It's BD19 XKR."
AI: "That's a 2019 Ford Focus. Your current MOT expires on the 14th of March, so good timing. I have availability this Thursday at 9am or Friday at 2pm — which works best for you?"
Customer: "Thursday 9am please."
AI: "Perfect. I've booked your MOT for Thursday the 6th at 9am at Millfield Motors. Can I confirm your mobile number so I can send you a text confirmation?"
Customer: "Sure — 07700 900456."
AI: "All done! You'll receive an SMS confirmation shortly. We recommend arriving 5 minutes early. Is there anything else I can help with today?"
Customer: "No, that's great. Thanks!"
AI: "Thank you for choosing Millfield Motors. See you Thursday!"
Call 2: Full Service Booking
Customer: "I'd like to book a full service for my car."
AI: "Happy to help. Can I take the vehicle registration?"
Customer: "KN67 WTF."
AI: "That's a 2017 Volkswagen Golf, 1.6 TDI diesel. For a full service including oil, filters and all checks, our price is £189. Shall I book you in?"
Customer: "Yes please. Do you have anything next week?"
AI: "I have Monday at 8:30am or Wednesday at 10am. The full service takes approximately 2–3 hours."
Customer: "Monday 8:30 works."
AI: "Booked! Monday the 10th at 8:30am, full service, £189. I'll send you an SMS confirmation now. Is there anything else — your MOT isn't due until August, so you're covered there."
Customer: "No, that's everything. Cheers."
Call 3: Advisory Follow-Up
Customer: "Hi, I got a text saying I had advisory items from my last MOT?"
AI: "Yes — let me pull up your record. Your MOT in January flagged front brake pads worn close to the limit and a small oil leak from the sump gasket. We'd recommend getting the brake pads replaced before your next MOT to avoid a fail. Would you like me to book you in for a brake pad replacement?"
Customer: "How much would that be?"
AI: "Front brake pads including fitting are £89. It takes about an hour. I have availability this Friday at 11am or next Monday at 3pm."
Customer: "Friday 11am please."
AI: "Done. Front brake pad replacement, Friday at 11am, £89. I'll send you a confirmation text now. Anything else?"
