UTILISE YOUR GARAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Using Garage Management Systems (GMS) like CarSys will allow you to manage the overdue workload currently within the UK car parc. GMS' systems like CarSys have a direct feed into a vehicle’s MOT history: this can be a vital tool. Looking back through your customers previous MOT history may also flag if they had any advisories that need rectifying this time round. Depending on the use of the vehicle over the past year there may well be additional work that you may have to factor into your diary.

Don’t forget to use tools like social media. Having a social presence will also help to boost your reputation and support customers who are looking around for a reputable garage to book an MOT.

Workshop ready? With the changing MOT pattern, ensuring you have enough staff to cope with the additional demand may be tricky, however, we can help. Investing in CPD training will provide you with a long-term fix. Our award winning training scheme can get your staff on the right MOT courses at a location near you! If it’s a top-up course you’re looking for, we also have them available through our LKQ Academy platform.
