Frequently asked questions
About booking bays and lifts, the history of every car and the day-to-day running of a workshop. If you cannot find the answer you need, reach out to our team.
Contact usA bay, a lift or a particular car is set up as its own resource: while a job is running on it, nothing else can be booked into that time. Specialist schedules run alongside, so you see both the people and the free places.
Every service has its own duration — from a few minutes to several days — and its own buffer after it. The bay stays taken for exactly as long as the work runs.
The diagnostics itself — a separate service with its own duration and price. You tell the client what the repair costs after the inspection: Bookly does not price the work.
Yes, a form before the visit collects what you need: make, number plate, mileage, a description of the problem and photos. For body repair or detailing that is usually enough to judge the scale of the job in advance.
In the client card: what was done, at what mileage, which parts went in, and your own notes. Next time nobody has to work out from scratch what was already changed and when.
A reminder for the next service is set by date and reaches the client on its own. Bookly does not count mileage, but the mileage is in the card — so you choose the date knowing how much that car covers in a month.
In part: simple stock tracking shows whether the part is there, and the booking is easy to move with a message to the client. Bookly is not a warehouse or a parts catalogue — keep ordering where you order now.
Online booking for car services, washes and detailing studios
In the motor trade a client takes up a place rather than an hour of someone’s time: a bay, a lift, a slot in the wash. And it stays taken for exactly as long as the work runs — twenty minutes at a wash, three days for a ceramic coating, three weeks in a body shop. In Bookly a bay or a lift becomes a resource of its own, with its own duration and a buffer after the job, so the same time cannot be taken twice. Specialist schedules run alongside it: before booking you see who is free and whether there is anywhere to put the car.
A price here often cannot be named until somebody has looked, so what goes on the booking page is the diagnostics itself — a service with its own duration and price. A form before the visit collects the number plate, the mileage, a description of the problem and photos, so the scale of the job is clear before the car arrives. A wash, a detailing session or a rental can be paid for in advance, in full or in part, before the booking is confirmed. Bookly does not price the repair and issues no insurance paperwork: its job is to get the car in at the right time, with its history already known.
The client here is the car as much as the driver: what was done to that number plate, at what mileage and with which parts stays in the card together with your own notes. The reminder for the next service is set from there, by a date you choose yourself. Seasons hit hard — after the first snow half the city queues for tyre fitting on the same day — so booking stays open around the clock, and the analytics show how many bays and people to keep for the peak. For a chain of washes or workshops, every site keeps its own schedule and its own bays.
