Automated MOT and service reminders that keep customers coming back.
The single most effective thing an independent garage can do to fill its diary is remind customers when their MOT or service is due. Most garages know this. Most garages don't do it consistently because it requires someone to check a list, make calls or send messages — every single day. AutoChain does it automatically. Every vehicle in your system has its MOT due date tracked from DVSA records. Every job creates a service date record. AutoChain monitors both and sends a branded SMS and email reminder to the customer at the right time — without anyone at the garage lifting a finger. Customers get a reminder with your garage name, your phone number and a prompt to book. Most do.

MOT dates are tracked automatically
When a job is created, AutoChain records the MOT expiry from DVSA data. No manual entry — the date is always accurate.
-
Service intervals are set per job
When you close a service job, AutoChain records the date and sets a reminder for 6 or 12 months later depending on the service type.
-
Reminders send automatically
At the configured lead time (e.g. 4 weeks before MOT due), AutoChain sends a branded SMS and email to the customer. Nothing for you to do.
-
Customers book and your diary fills
The reminder message includes your garage name and a prompt to call or book online. Most customers who receive a timely reminder act on it.

-
A fuller diary with no effort
Automated reminders run 24/7 without anyone on your team needing to check a list or make a call. The bookings come to you.
-
Customers feel looked after
A proactive reminder from your garage feels like good service. It builds loyalty and makes customers less likely to shop around.
-
Never lose a customer to a competitor
If you don't remind them, someone else will. Automated MOT and service reminders keep your garage front of mind before the due date arrives.
-
Works while you sleep
Reminders go out at the right time automatically — evenings, weekends, bank holidays — without anyone at the garage doing anything.
-
Consistent revenue all year round
Spreading reminders evenly across your customer base smooths out the feast-and-famine cycle that affects most garages in quieter months.
-
Outperform dealerships and chains
Most independent garages don't send reminders at all. Automated, branded messages from your garage make you look as professional as any franchise.
