Garage booking software that fills the diary and follows through to paid.
Take booking requests online, confirm them from your diary, remind the customer, then quote, invoice and get paid, without leaving the app.
Free plan to start. UK-built and UK-hosted. ICO registered.
Most garage bookings still come in by phone, which means missed calls, a full answerphone and a paper diary only one person can read. Autera gives every workshop its own public booking page: customers send you a booking request, it lands in your diary, and you confirm it when it suits the shop. From there the confirmation goes out automatically, MOT reminders bring old customers back, and the booking flows straight into a job and an invoice. One record from the first request to the paid bill, tuned for UK garages of every size and MOT centres.
Request, confirm, remind, invoice
Four pillars. Each links through to a deeper page if you want the detail.
Customers request a booking online
Every workshop on Autera gets a public booking page. A customer picks a service, adds the registration and their details, describes the work and submits a booking request. It lands in your diary for you to confirm. No phone tag, no missed voicemails, no double entry.
See plans →Confirm and manage from your diary
Requests arrive in the bookings diary alongside the work you have already committed to. Confirm the ones that fit, move or decline the ones that do not, and see the whole week at a glance. You keep control of the schedule instead of handing raw slots to the public.
See the diary and reminders →Confirmations and MOT reminders sent automatically
Confirm a booking and the customer gets a confirmation by email in your garage name. When a vehicle has an MOT due, Autera sends reminders before expiry with the date pulled from DVLA, so last year's customers book back in without you chasing them.
See MOT reminders →Booking flows into a job and invoice
A confirmed booking becomes a job with the vehicle and customer already attached. Add parts and labour as you work, then turn it into an invoice with a Stripe payment link the customer taps to pay. One record from booking to paid, nothing retyped.
