The delivery scope

The delivery scope for an independent garage

  • A 5-page site with the domain in your name

    MOT, servicing, diagnostics, repairs and whatever else you take on. Domain and DNS registered to you, with 1 revision round before deployment.

  • JSON-LD structured data on every page

    Your service taxonomy, prices, the makes you work on and your operational hours configured as explicit machine-readable markup, so a question about an MOT in your town resolves against verified data.

  • Your prices, published as figures

    Each price states what it includes, and only prices you supply are published. A customer comparing garages sees yours without ringing round.

  • Booking that fits your existing system

    Already running garage software with online booking? Every Book action points at it. If not, the registration lookup captures reg, job and contact details and you confirm the slot.

  • Google Business Profile and Bing alignment

    We eliminate discrepancies so name, address, hours, service taxonomy and phone match the site exactly, then synchronise the same record to Bing Places.

  • A competitor audit in your free preview

    Your preview sets you against the top 3 garages near you on Google. A snapshot of today, not a promise about where you will rank.

Verified credentials

Your scheme memberships, and the MOT sign done properly

We publish a scheme you hold, from your own artwork or code, linked to the public register where one exists. DVSA logos require permission we do not assume on your behalf.

  • The Motor Ombudsman

    Smart Badge from your own account, linked so a customer can confirm your accreditation.

  • Trust My Garage

    Membership mark published only while current, from the scheme's own artwork.

  • Authorised testing station

    “MOT test centre” in words. The blue three-triangle sign goes up only on your confirmation that you are an ATS.

  • Good Garage Scheme

    Membership shown at the level your own record states, never implied from a service standard.

Local competitor snapshot

How your footprint compares in the postcodes you work

Your free audit sets your review volume and structured-data depth against the top 3 firms near you on Google, for searches like these:

  • “MOT near me”
  • “car service near me”
  • “clutch replacement cost”

A snapshot of where you stand today. Not a promise about where you will rank tomorrow.

Bookings should terminate on your own domain

Booking platforms charge a standing monthly fee, a share of each job, or both. A page on someone else's system is not your website and never becomes one.

Keep a platform for the customers who find you there. The customers who already know you book on your own site, at your own prices, with no commission deducted.

Regulatory standards

Regulatory standards we build to

Garages carry specific rules on pricing, accreditation marks and reviews. We build to them, and where a case is unclear we ask you before publishing.

  1. MOT price

    We show the MOT price you set. If it's above the legal maximum for that vehicle class, we flag it to you before launch. We won't show the legal maximum as a 'was' price next to yours.

  2. Other prices

    Each price says what it includes, including any add-on every customer pays, and offers say what they depend on, such as vehicle class. We won't print a 'from' price that hides what it leaves out.

  3. Scheme badges

    Motor Ombudsman, Trust My Garage and similar marks go up from your own artwork or code, linked to the public register where there is one. We won't show a badge you don't hold.

  4. DVSA and the MOT sign

    We say 'MOT test centre' in words. The blue three-triangle MOT sign goes up only if you confirm you're an authorised testing station. We won't use DVSA logos or suggest DVSA backs you.

  5. Reviews

    Your Google rating and count come only from your own profile. We won't pick favourites, show a hand-picked few, or hide genuine reviews.

FAQ

Straight answers

My ramps are always full. I don't need more customers.

We promise no additional customers. You get assets you own that search algorithms and AI engines can parse, and a customer can take a slot without phoning while you are under a car. The diary stays yours to manage. Billed only if you approve the result.

I already have garage software with booking.

Keep it. Every Book action points at your existing booking page and the site is built around it, so you never pay for booking twice. The fee is identical either way.

Booking platforms only charge when I get a job.

Several charge a standing fee as well. One platform's published Starter plan is £120 a month + VAT, a £99 + VAT sign-up fee and 10% on jobs won. Check your own terms. Keep a platform for the customers who find you there; your own site serves the ones who already know you.

I'm in the workshop all day. How much of my time does this take?

Very little. We build the preview from your published details. You correct what is wrong and send what we cannot find: your booking link if you have one, the prices you want published, and any scheme accreditations you hold. On approval, deployment is within 7 days.

What do I pay, and when?

Nothing until you approve the preview. Then one fee of £495 at the founding client rate, with no mandatory monthly fee: hosting and changes are an optional care plan at £39/month. Your domain renews annually with the registrar, in your name.

How quickly is the site live?

Within 7 days of framework approval.

Can you get me to the top of Google?

Nobody honest can promise that. We make sure Google and AI can read everything about your business clearly.
