Bays stay busy
on weekdays too.
On Saturdays — a queue and chaos, on weekdays the bays sit idle. Clients called 'can you take me today?', forgot about maintenance and the seasonal tyre swap. Here's how Mountify's auto service management software evens out the load and reminds clients to come back on its own.
Bays sitting idle,
while Saturday cracks.
Empty weekdays, chaos on Saturday
Monday–Thursday the bays half empty, on Saturday — a queue out on the street and irritated clients. Spreading the flow evenly just wouldn't happen.
'Can you take me today?'
A mechanic with an impact wrench answering the phone instead of working. Half the callers never got through and drove off to the competitor across the road.
Forgotten maintenance & tyres
The client changed the oil once a year — if they remembered. Seasonal tyre work went to whoever reminded first. The database was there, the payoff zero.
Four things —
and the bays run smoothly.
Booking by bay, maintenance reminders, prepayment for the peak. No integrators.
Booking by bay
and job type
Each bay — its own column, jobs with real durations: service 40 min, wheel alignment 60, tyre swap 30. You see where there's a window right now.
Reminders for maintenance
and seasonal tyres
After the service interval — 'time for maintenance', in season — 'time to swap your tyres'. The client books in one click. The database finally works for the garage.
Online form
'book a diagnostic'
Your own page — pick a service, bay and time without a call. Bookings come in on their own, including for the idle weekday mornings.
Prepayment
for scarce Saturdays
The popular Saturday slots — with a small prepayment. Random bookings drop off; on Saturdays only those who really show up now come in.
Weekly load —
evens out.
Online booking and reminders draw flow toward the quiet days, prepayment removes random bookings from the peak. Not one garage's numbers — what the toolkit itself delivers.
A week at the garage —
