Automated SMS and email MOT reminders
Garage MOT Reminder Software
Never Miss Another MOT Renewal
Automatically remind customers before their MOT is due, and turn those reminders into confirmed bookings in your workshop diary.
AutoSage Garage MOT Reminder Software helps independent garages, workshops, tyre centres and mobile technicians stay connected with customers by automatically sending MOT reminders via SMS or email before their vehicle’s MOT is due. Combined with powerful garage management features, AutoSage makes it easy to increase repeat business, reduce administration and keep your workshop diary full.
No more missed reminders that lead to empty workshop slots, lost revenue and customers booking their MOT elsewhere. With AutoSage you can keep track of MOT due dates across your customer base whether it’s hundreds or even thousands of customers.
It doesn’t matter if you manage a single garage or multiple locations, AutoSage gives you everything you need to manage bookings, customer records, invoicing, workshop scheduling and automated reminders from one easy-to-use platform.
The basics
What is Garage MOT Reminder Software?
Garage MOT Reminder Software automatically reminds your customers when their MOT test is approaching. Instead of relying on spreadsheets, paper diaries or manual phone calls, reminders are sent automatically, helping customers remember to book their vehicle in before their MOT expires. For busy workshops, this means:
- More repeat customers
- Fewer missed MOT opportunities
- Better customer retention
- Less administration
- Improved workshop utilisation
- Increased annual revenue
Because AutoSage combines MOT reminders with a complete garage management system, you can manage the entire customer journey from one easy-to-use cloud-based system.
The problem
Boost Customer Retention
Many customers don't intentionally switch garages; they simply forget when their MOT is due and book wherever they remember. This can be too late for you, with your workshop potentially fully booked when the test is needed.
Having an automatic reminder sent to your customer a few weeks before the MOT expiry date puts your garage front of mind exactly when they’re ready to book.
Instead of waiting for customers to remember you, AutoSage helps bring them back year after year.
- Customers forgetting their MOT is due
- Bookings going to whichever garage they remember
- Empty workshop slots that were avoidable
- MOT dates tracked in spreadsheets
- Reminder letters and manual text messages
- Regular customers quietly lost each year
AutoSage tracks MOT due dates across your whole customer base and sends the reminder for you, at the point the customer is ready to book.
Reminders
Automatic MOT Reminders by SMS and Email
AutoSage allows garages to send MOT reminders using the communication method that best suits each customer.
SMS MOT Reminders
SMS, or text messages, are fast, direct and achieve excellent engagement rates, with a high percentage of recipients opening and reading the message. Customers receive a simple reminder that their MOT is due soon, encouraging them to book before the expiry date. Perfect for:
- Timely reminders
- Last-minute or second reminders
- Busy customers
- Increasing booking rates
- Reducing no-shows
Email MOT Reminders
Email reminders provide another effective way to stay connected with customers. Emails can also remind customers about:
- Upcoming MOT tests
- Vehicle servicing
- Future bookings
- Garage promotions
- Seasonal offers
Using both SMS and email ensures your reminders reach as many customers as possible. Once your customer gets in touch, your staff can instantly view their vehicle information, MOT and service dates, and customer history, allowing them to provide a knowledgeable and personal service.

Records
Manage Every Customer and Vehicle in One Place
Successful reminder software depends on having accurate customer information.
AutoSage Garage Management Software stores all your important customer and vehicle details securely, making it easy to manage future bookings and communications. Store information including:
- Customer details
- Vehicle registration
- MOT due dates
- Vehicle history
- Service history
- Previous invoices
- Notes and comments
- Communication history
Having everything in one central database makes managing repeat customers effortless.
All data is safe and secure. AutoSage is hosted on Microsoft Azure with enterprise-grade encryption, ensuring the security of both your business and your customers' information. It is fully GDPR compliant, with data stored in UK data centres.
Bookings
Turn MOT Reminders into Confirmed Bookings
Sending reminders is only part of the process.
AutoSage helps you convert reminders into workshop bookings by making it simple for staff to schedule appointments within the built-in garage booking software diary.
As customers contact your garage, bookings can quickly be added to the workshop schedule, helping you organise technicians, manage workloads and maximise productivity.
The result is a smoother workflow from reminder to completed MOT, ensuring customer confidence and repeat business.
Admin
Reduce Administration with Automated Reminders
Many garages still spend valuable time searching through spreadsheets, checking MOT expiry dates, sending manual text messages and writing reminder letters.
AutoSage automates much of this work, allowing your staff to spend more time serving customers instead of completing repetitive administration.
The software works quietly in the background, helping ensure fewer customers are forgotten. AutoSage is cloud-based, meaning you and your staff can access the system from anywhere, making it ideal for multi-site businesses.
Retention
Increase Customer Retention
Winning a new customer can be time-consuming and costly, so it makes sense to retain existing customers.
Regular communication helps build stronger customer relationships and encourages motorists to return year after year.
By reminding customers before their MOT is due, your garage becomes the obvious choice when it's time to book. Many garages find automated reminders become one of their most valuable customer retention tools.
