Your garage's booking diary,
not a stack of sticky notes.
You run a garage, not a software company. Your site should take MOT and service bookings without a game of phone tag, and take a deposit up front so a no-show doesn't cost you a bay for the afternoon. VeloCMS gives you a real booking calendar with optional Google Calendar sync, a site whose pages are pre-rendered and served from an edge cache, so it works from a customer's phone in the car park, and a gallery to show the work you've actually done. MOT reminder emails go to your customers 30, 14 and 7 days before their test is due.
Everything your garage website needs
From online bookings to a job gallery — built for garage owners who want results without hiring a developer or paying for separate garage-management software on top.
Bookings with a deposit, not a diary
Set up your services — MOT, service, diagnostics, whatever you offer — with a price and a duration, and customers book a real time slot from your site. Turn on a deposit and a no-show costs them, not you. Connect Google Calendar and every booking shows up there too, so you're not checking two places.
A gallery that shows the work
Add a gallery block to your homepage or a job page and show before-and-after photos of the work you've done. A customer choosing between three garages in town can see yours actually fixes things — that's worth more than another star rating on its own.
Customer reviews on your own site
Add a testimonials block and let happy customers do some of the selling for you. It's your site and your reviews, and nobody can bury them under a paid competitor's listing.
Pre-rendered pages, even on a bad signal
Most garage sites are slow WordPress builds nobody's touched in years. VeloCMS pre-renders every page and serves it from an edge cache — worth something when a customer's checking your booking page standing outside with one bar of signal.
Sell parts and vouchers online
Turn on the commerce module to sell gift vouchers, service plans, or parts online through your own Stripe account. You keep everything Stripe doesn't take — VeloCMS doesn't add a cut on top.
MOT reminder emails
Customers on your list get an email 30, 14 and 7 days before their MOT is due, so they come back before the test runs out instead of after.
Stop running your diary on paper and hope
Most garages either take bookings over the phone, in a paper diary only one person can read at a time, or pay for dedicated garage-management software that costs hundreds of pounds a year for features you'll touch once a month. None of that gets you a website customers actually want to look at.
VeloCMS gives you a real site — fast, mobile-friendly, and built to sell the work you do — with a booking calendar built in. No separate diary app, no phone tag, no annual software invoice on top of everything else.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best website platform for a garage in 2026?
VeloCMS gives your garage a fast site with a real booking calendar, deposits to cut no-shows, a job photo gallery, and customer reviews — built in, not bolted on with three separate apps. Most garage websites are years-old WordPress builds or just a Facebook page with a phone number. This one is pre-rendered, served from an edge cache, and takes a booking while you're still on the last job.
Can customers book MOT and service appointments online?
Yes. Set up your services with a price and duration in Admin, and customers pick a real time slot from your site. Connect Google Calendar so every booking shows up there too, and require a deposit at checkout so a no-show doesn't leave a bay empty for nothing.
Does it send MOT reminders to customers?
Yes, by email. Customers on your list get a reminder 30, 14 and 7 days before their MOT is due. We don't send text message reminders.
Can I take a deposit to stop no-shows?
Yes. Turn on deposit payments for any service, and a customer pays a portion up front through your own Stripe account when they book. If they don't show, you've still got something for the bay instead of nothing — and VeloCMS doesn't take a cut of it.
How does the cost compare to garage management software?
VeloCMS starts from $9/month with a 14-day free trial — a website, booking calendar, and gallery in one, not a separate diary subscription bolted onto your website hosting. You're not paying for two systems that don't talk to each other.
Can I show before-and-after photos of jobs I've done?
Yes. Drop a gallery block onto your homepage or any page and add before-and-after photos of finished jobs. It's a much stronger sales pitch than a star rating on its own — customers can see the actual work.
Do I need a developer to add a service or change a price?
No. Log into Admin from your phone, add or edit a service, change its price, and it's live on your site within a minute. No developer ticket, no waiting on an agency, no separate software login.
Is the booking page mobile-friendly for customers?
Yes — the whole site is built mobile-first and its pages are pre-rendered and served from an edge cache, which matters when someone's booking from outside your workshop on a patchy signal. The booking flow works the same on a phone as it does on a desktop.
