Garage software, built by a garage

Win more work.
Earn more trust.

MOTvault turns a photo of a worn brake disc into a quote your customer approves from their phone — then handles the booking, the MOT reminder and getting paid. One system, built on the ramp, for how a real garage runs.

Light or dark — your call

Runs how your workshop likes it

Bright and clean for the office desk, or easy-on-the-eyes dark for the workshop tablet. Every screen, both ways — switch any time. (Go on, try the dark mode button up top and watch this whole page flip.)

What it does

Quote it. Book it. Get paid. Bring them back.

Six jobs your garage does every day — each one faster, clearer and worth more, without the clipboard or the "I'll think about it".

Photo & video quotes

Show the customer the fault with their own eyes

Snap the worn pad — or video the knock — attach it to the job, and the customer sees exactly what you see, with a plain-English reason it matters. They tap Accept or Decline on each item from the sofa. No haggling, no doubt, no "are they having me on?".

  • Photos and videos on every job — trust built in
  • Per-job accept / decline — you see what they authorised
  • Saved presets — a full write-up in two taps

MOT reminders

Never lose an MOT to the garage down the road

Every car you touch is tracked to its MOT expiry automatically, straight from DVSA data. MOTvault texts the customer before it's due — in your name — so the easy, repeatable money comes back to you without anyone remembering to chase it.

  • Real expiry dates from DVSA — no data entry
  • Auto texts at 30, 14 and 1 days — and on the day
  • One tap turns a reminder into a booking

Live workshop board

The whole day's work on the wall screen

Put MOTvault on a TV in the workshop and everyone sees what's approved and what's coming — updating itself the moment a customer accepts a job. Bookings fill from a 24/7 online form that respects your real capacity, so no double-bookings and no voicemail tag.

  • Live board across the MOT bay and every technician
  • Online booking that can't overfill your bays
  • Approve or suggest another time in one tap

Reports, payments & books

Get paid on the spot — and know your numbers

Send a card payment link by text the second work's approved; the quote flips to Paid and syncs to QuickBooks, so your books do themselves. Then a weekly and monthly report shows exactly what sold, what got declined, and where your margin really is.

  • Card links by SMS + one-tap cash tracking
  • Automatic QuickBooks sync
  • Conversion & parts-vs-labour, downloadable

Our story

I started as an apprentice, earned my MOT tester's licence, and worked my way up to running the place — and I never got on with the systems we were made to use.

They were clunky, they got in the technicians' way, and not one of them helped with the thing that actually matters in this trade: trust between the garage and the customer.

So one day I decided to build my own — software that does everything. It makes the job easier for the people turning the spanners, it brings in the revenue the garage deserves, and it's honest with the customer at every step. That's why a quote in MOTvault carries photos and videos of the real work: so the customer can see exactly what needs doing, and why, before they decide.

I didn't build it just to make a garage more money. I built it to make the customer trust the garage again — because when people can see the work with their own eyes, they say yes, and they come back.

Questions

The things garages ask us

Do I need to install anything or buy hardware? +
No. MOTvault runs in any web browser — the workshop tablet, the office PC, your phone. Log in and go.
Where do the MOT reminders come from? +
Every vehicle you quote or book is tracked to its real MOT expiry using official DVSA data, then MOTvault texts the customer before it's due, in your garage's name.
Is my customer data safe, and is it mine? +
Yes. Each garage's data is fully separated from every other's, it's yours to export any time, and we never sell or share it.
Am I tied into a contract? +
No. £149 a month after a 30-day free trial, cancel any time. No setup fee, no minimum term.
Can customers pay through it? +
Yes — send a card link by text, money goes to your account, or mark a cash job paid in one tap. It all syncs to QuickBooks.
