Status stays on their phone
Guest tracking and SMS keep the customer informed while the bay clock runs — fewer reception callbacks.
Motion
The loop UK garages already run every day. RepairDashboard wires the boring admin so the workshop stays on the car — proof the product works before we take it fully international.
Customer opens the garage’s white-label portal (or staff start New Job). Reg blur hits DVLA + DVSA for vehicle + MOT autofill. Photos and insurance flag land with the claim.
Labour and parts quote with owner P&L. Margin shields keep estimators productive without exposing shop markup. Customer accepts by branded message.
Scheduler, skills, absences, bay clock, progress photos. Guest QR / track-by-plate keeps status public without a SaaS login. Mid-job extras approve on the phone.
Finish wizard, ready-for-collection notify, invoice/PDF, optional review follow-up. Stars show on the public profile.
Plate-based MOT alerts email/SMS with your Basic MOT price and a book-slot CTA. Acceptance policies + morning reminders keep the diary honest.
Guest tracking and SMS keep the customer informed while the bay clock runs — fewer reception callbacks.
Printable guest slips with secure tokens — hand over at drop-off, track without a SaaS login.
Why garages stay
Portal, claims, and branch pages carry the garage’s logo and colour — customers never feel “software’d”.
Clocks, scheduler, finish wizard, and Needs Attention inbox replace whiteboard chaos without adding ceremony.
Owner margin shields, labour rates toggle, accounting export — visibility where it belongs.
DVLA/DVSA plate lookup and MOT alerts are first-class — not a plugin afterthought.
