The most profitable customer is the one who comes back. Mechanics Hub stores the MOT and service dates against each vehicle and sends reminders at the right time, so the work returns without you having to remember.
When reminders go out
Reminders run on a sensible schedule for most garages, and stop once the customer books. The MOT date comes from the last visit or a registration lookup, so it is set up for you.
| Reminder | When it sends |
|---|---|
| MOT due | About 30 days before the expiry date |
| Service due | About 21 days before the due date |
| Follow-up | About 7 days before, if still not booked |
- Sent by email, and by SMS where you have the allowance.
- Every reminder is logged so you can see what was sent.
- A full audit trail, no relying on memory.
FAQ
Where does the MOT date come from?
From the last MOT or a registration lookup when you add the vehicle. Storing it against the vehicle is what lets the reminder go out before it runs out.
