Service businesses with a diary

Websites for garages and tyre centres: your bookings on your own site within the hour, and the enquiry on your desk first

You already keep your bookings up to date for the booking aggregators. The same feed can run a site you own, fast enough to pass Google's real-visitor speed test, where a driver finds the booking, sends the enquiry to you, and never sees a competitor's stock beside yours.

What it is like now

  • Every job starts with a phone call the workshop cannot answer because it is under a car.
  • Test-due and service-due dates are known and nobody uses them.
  • Reviews happen when someone is angry, never when someone is pleased.

What we build for garages

  • Online booking by service, with a diary your staff control
  • Test and service reminders by email or text from the dates you already hold
  • A review request after every good job, automatically
  • Prices for the standard jobs on the page, which is what wins the search

What it looks like in practice

Every job starts with a phone call the workshop cannot answer because it is under a car. We build online booking by service against a diary the staff control, test and service reminders from the dates the garage already holds, a review request after every good job, and prices for the standard jobs on the page, which is what wins the search.

What a website costs for garages and tyre centres

Most garages need the Presence tier, from €5,000, delivered in 3 weeks, paid 50% to start, 50% at launch. That includes your bookings fed from your own system, a page per booking, the filters your buyers use, enquiry capture with alerts, sector pages, structured data, built to score 100 on Google's speed test at launch, and your hosting, domain and code in your name.

After launch, most take the Managed care plan at €195 a month: hosting, SSL, daily backups, software updates, uptime and security monitoring, 2 hours a month shared between content edits and development (no rollover), a monthly report in plain English and a one working day response, month to month with 30 days' notice. If the site you have now only needs its faults fixed rather than replacing, single fixes start at €175 and the free audit names them.

Typical ticket for a booking in your trade is €80 to €2,000; one enquiry that comes to you instead of to the booking aggregators covers a lot of website. The full menu, with the five-year comparison, is on the pricing page.

Questions garages ask

Should we put prices on the site?
For the standard jobs, yes: a service, a test prep, a set of brake pads. It wins the search and filters the people who were only ever going to ring round.
Reminders.
From the dates you already hold. An email or text three weeks before the test is due, with a booking link.
Reviews only happen when someone is angry.
A request after every completed job, sent automatically, sent to the ones who were pleased too.

Faults we see most on garages sites

Before anyone talks about a rebuild, the audit usually finds a few of these. Each has its own page with the fix and the fixed price, and none of them needs a new website.

All eighteen faults

Check your own site first

Free, on screen in seconds. The faults a driver actually hits on your homepage, and what each one costs you.

Free, no call. The first findings come up in a few seconds and the full result in about half a minute. We load your site in a real mobile browser the way Google measures it, read your inner pages, your DNS, certificate, email records and sitemap, follow your stock list to the pages for the things you actually sell, and show you the three worst things on screen.

Before you compare quotes

Five questions to ask anyone quoting you, and our answers

Where is the work actually done?
Here, by the person you are talking to. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop in another time zone without telling you, because nothing is passed anywhere.
Who can see my enquiry data, and under what agreement?
You, and us while we build or maintain it, under a written data-processing agreement. Your customers' details never leave infrastructure in your name.
What happens on day 31?
The same as day 1. Fixed-price builds carry a 90-day warranty on defects; care plans run month to month; nothing expires when the invoice clears.
Who owns the code, the hosting and the domain?
You do, from the first commit. Your repository, your hosting account, your registrar. Written into the quote. (The one exception is the monthly dealer plan, where the code passes to you when the 12-month minimum is complete.)
What does Google's own speed test say about it?
We build to score 100 on Google's mobile test and report the launch-day figure in writing; the final instalment is due when the written acceptance criteria are met, not on a score. ukcarimports.ie scored 88 on 10 October 2026 with real visitors passing all five Core Web Vitals. Run it yourself, on any page of the proof site.
