Who it's for

Built for the way garages work

BOOKAR replaces the diary, the job pad, the invoicing tool and the reminder list with one system — whether that is one ramp or a group of sites.

Independent garages

One to four ramps and an owner who is also the service advisor. BOOKAR takes the diary, job cards, invoicing and reminders off their desk.

Multi-site groups

Shared customers, vehicles, pricing and reporting across every branch, with each site running its own diary.

MOT and service centres

Online MOT and service booking with registration lookup, automatic reminders and text-to-pay when the car is ready.

Tyre and fast-fit

Live tyre stock and pricing from suppliers on the work order, ordered straight from the purchase order.

The platform

Everything a workshop runs on, in one place

Three things garages tell us they cannot go back from once they have them.

Garage management system

The whole job in one record

The booking becomes the job card, the job card becomes the invoice, and the invoice updates the customer history that sends next year's MOT reminder. Nothing is typed twice and nothing falls between two systems.

Workshop diary by ramp, technician and time
Job cards on a tablet — parts and labour added as work happens
Quotes and invoices generated from the job, paid by text link
Parts and tyres priced and ordered from the work order

Bookings at 9pm, in the diary by 9:01

Customers book MOTs and services from real availability on your website, Google profile or Facebook page. The booking lands in the workshop diary with the customer and vehicle attached — not in an inbox for someone to key in.

Live availability from your ramps and opening hours
Registration lookup fills in the vehicle and MOT due date
Deposits, instant confirmation and automatic reminders
Reschedule by tapping a link — fewer no-shows

Health checks, authorisations and reminders that send themselves

A digital vehicle health check with photos goes to the customer's phone with a one-tap approve link. Approved work flows back onto the job. MOT and service reminders go out by text and email on the right day, whether or not anyone remembered.

Photo and video VHC with one-tap authorisation
Two-way text messaging from the job card
Automatic MOT and service reminders
Every call, text and email on the customer's timeline

A Vitara Commerce product

After a decade building e-commerce and integration platforms for other industries, it was obvious that garages were being asked to accept far less from their software. BOOKAR applies the same rigour — proper architecture, clean integrations, software that holds up at scale — to the workshop.

Purpose-built for garages, not adapted from a generic business platform

Modern stack: Next.js, React and Python, delivered as a progressive web app

Straightforward monthly pricing with no per-user fees

Built, hosted and supported in the UK from Manchester

Founder-led — decisions made for the long term, not the next release
