Online booking for diesel engine mechanics

Diesel specialists see a steady mix of cars, vans and light commercial vehicles with engine-specific issues: blocked particulate filters, sticking EGR valves, worn injectors, glow plugs, turbo faults. Most jobs start with a diagnostic to confirm the fault, then a repair of known length once parts are in. Many customers are tradespeople and small businesses whose van is their income, so they want a clear drop-off time and a firm idea of when they'll get it back.

A booking page lets them pick the diagnostic or service slot themselves, and gives you the list of vehicles for each day.

On Book, each job is a service with its own price and description, and you open slots for each at the length it takes. Open diagnostic slots for new faults and book the repair yourself from your calendar once the fault is confirmed and parts are ordered. Use the description to explain what's included and how long the vehicle stays. Drivers can add a note with the make, model, registration and symptoms, such as limp mode or smoke.

Drivers book without an account, with their name, email and phone. They get a confirmation email, and you get an email for every new booking. Reschedule or cancel from your bookings list and let the driver know, and sync your calendar with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book doesn't manage fleets, parts, invoices or payments. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings and services, no commission, no contract.

Your page shows times in your business's time zone, with its name displayed, so there's no confusion for clients booking from elsewhere. To fill a regular week quickly, create a slot once and repeat it on the weekdays you choose until an end date.
