Frequently asked questions

General

Do I have to sign a long term contract?

No. My Garage Manager is a pay-as-you-go system. There are no long term contracts or commitments on your part. Opt out at any time and retain all your customer records and booking information, you will simply no longer be able to take new online bookings via your website or send further reminders to your customers that their MOT or Service is due.

 

Are features of My Garage Manager available individually?

Yes. For example: If you wish to take advantage of the messaging & reminder service without needing the online booking feature then this is certainly possible. Equally you can allow your customers the option to make bookings online without needing to setup the reminder service. Contact us today and we can discuss this further.

Can I add Online booking to my existing website?

What happens if a customer changes their mobile number?
The system takes care of this for you, if a message is delivered to a number that is no longer active we will automatically unsubscribe their details so it doesn’t send further reminders costing you more money.
All customer details can easily be changed at any time, including unsubscribing their details, so that they don’t receive any more messages from you. Customers can also unsubscribe directly from the reminder itself, as it is their right to opt-out.
