For garages and mobile mechanics
Blinx gives a garage or a mobile mechanic one mobile page where drivers can see your prices, ask for a service or an MOT, call you and find the workshop, each in one tap. It costs $5 a month or $46.80 a year, plus VAT at 20% for UK businesses, after a 15-day trial with no card.
Example page
Redmarsh Motors is made up, to show what a page for mechanics looks like. Scroll it and tap it.
Open the example pageDrivers come to a mechanic with a warning light, a strange noise or a date: the MOT is due, the service is overdue, the car is about to be sold. They want to know what you do, what it costs and when you can fit them in.
Price matters a great deal here, so drivers compare a few garages for a full service, an MOT or a set of brake pads before they choose one.
A breakdown is different: the car will not start, and the driver wants someone who answers the phone or can come out to them.
An interim service, a full service, an MOT, brake pads or a diagnostic check, each with its price or a starting price.
Drivers choose the job, pick a day and a time and send a request, and a full service can have a longer slot in your diary than an MOT.
A garage shows the Find us map and Directions; a mobile mechanic writes the towns they cover in the About text. One page works for both.
The Call button stays in the bar along the bottom of the screen all the way down the page.
Short lines for what drivers look for, such as a warranty on parts and labour or the brands you specialise in.
Your hours, number, address, photos and rating come across from your listing.
Four moments from a working day, each beside the part of the example page it uses.
A driver whose MOT runs out next week chooses the MOT, picks a day and a time and sends the request. You confirm it in your diary on Pro, and they hear back with the time.

Your price list shows an interim service, a full service and an MOT side by side with their prices. Drivers comparing garages can see yours without ringing round.

A light comes on during the school run. The driver finds your page, sees whether the workshop is open and taps Call now to ask if you can take a look today.

The Find us map shows where the workshop is, and Directions opens the driver's own maps app, so the car arrives at the right gate.

They can ask for one. Add the MOT as a booking service with its own length, and drivers choose a day and a time from your workshop hours. Each request waits until you confirm it, which is part of Pro, and the driver hears back with the time when you do.
Yes. Switch the Find us map off if customers never come to you, and write the towns you cover in your About text. Drivers can still call, message or ask for a time that suits them.
Yes. Use starting prices, such as a full service from a set amount, and say in your About text that you confirm the price once you know the car. Drivers get in touch with a rough idea of the cost.
Yes. Your hours show for every day of the week, with whether you are open right now and when you open next, so nobody turns up to a locked gate.
Not through Blinx: there is no online payment or deposit. Take payment the way you do today; the page is where drivers find you, see your prices and ask for a booking.
Yes, once you connect the garage's Google listing: your star rating and the first three reviews Google shows, in Google's order, with a link to read the rest on Google. Blinx never writes, edits or picks them.
