Never lose another MOT: how automated reminders keep your bays full
The MOT is the one appointment every car needs every year. Whoever reminds the customer first keeps the work. Make sure that is you.
Most garages have a retention problem they never see. A car comes in, passes its MOT, and leaves happy. Twelve months later it goes somewhere else, because that somewhere else sent a text first.
It is quietly one of the most expensive leaks in the trade. You did the work, earned the trust, and then let the relationship lapse for the sake of a reminder.
The strongest hook you have
The MOT is legally required, it happens every year, and the due date is known to the day. No other job in the workshop is that predictable. The only question is who gets in first.
Reminders that run themselves
Rampt pulls MOT history and expiry straight from DVSA, so the date is right without anyone typing it. A reminder goes out ahead of time, in the customer’s channel, from your name.
- Email, SMS or WhatsApp, whichever the customer agreed to.
- Sent from your workshop, not from us, so it looks and feels like you.
- Consent-gated, so you only ever message people who opted in.
- Service reminders too, following the mileage or the months, so the whole diary fills, not just MOTs.
Done for every car on your books, this is the difference between a diary you chase every morning and a diary that fills itself.
Fill next month’s diary
Every car that already trusts you is a booking waiting to happen. Book a demo to see automated reminders set up for your workshop, or check the pricing and start bringing cars back this month.
