SMS is the fastest way to reach a customer. Use it for time-sensitive updates like 'parts arrived' or 'your car's ready', and for MOT and service reminders.

Your sender name and allowance

Set your garage's sender name so texts clearly come from you. Your plan includes a monthly SMS allowance, currently 250 messages a month, and top-up bundles are available if a busy month needs more.

Email reminders do not use your SMS allowance, so you can lean on email for low-cost follow-up and save SMS for the urgent stuff.

Set a recognisable sender name.
250 SMS included each month, with top-ups available.
Email reminders do not use SMS.
Every message is logged.

FAQ

What happens if I run out of SMS?

You can buy a top-up bundle for the busy month. Email reminders keep working regardless, as they do not use the SMS allowance.
