Managed Websites for Mechanics & Garages
You're elbow-deep in an engine bay before 8am. By the time you've wiped your hands clean enough to call back missed enquiries, half of them have already booked somewhere else.
You Keep Cars Running. Let's Get Your Garage Running Smarter.
You've got oil on your hands, a queue of jobs on the ramp, and a phone that won't stop ringing with people asking "how much for a service?" and "can you fit me in Tuesday?" By the time you've wiped your hands clean enough to call them back, half of them have already booked somewhere else.
Sound familiar? That's not a you problem — it's a systems problem. And a proper website with the right tools behind it can fix it.
Sitethreesixty builds websites for tradespeople — mechanics and garage owners who want more bookings, fewer no-shows, and a website that actually earns its keep. No tech headaches. No contracts. Just a site that works as hard as you do.
Why Your Garage Needs More Than a Facebook Page
You might think your Facebook page does the job. It's got your phone number, your opening hours, and a few photos of jobs you've done. But Facebook doesn't show up when someone Googles "MOT near me" or "car service [your town]." Your competitors with actual websites do.
When someone's MOT is due or their engine warning light comes on, they search. They don't scroll through Facebook hoping to find a local garage. They type it into Google and pick from whoever looks professional, local, and easy to book with.
A proper website puts you in that search result. It tells potential customers what you offer, where you are, what your reviews say, and — crucially — lets them book without having to call you. Because let's be honest, you're not answering the phone when you're under a car. And they're not leaving a voicemail.
A garage without a website is like a workshop without a sign on the door. The work might be first-rate, but nobody on the web knows you're there.
What You Get
Your website isn't a template with a spanner icon slapped on it. It's built around how garage customers actually search and what gets them to book:
- Local SEO baked in — so you rank for "mechanic near me," "MOT [your town]," "car service [your area]" — the searches that actually bring paying customers through your doors.
- Mobile-first design — because most people are searching on their phone, often sat in the car that needs fixing. Your site needs to look sharp and load fast.
- Service pages that target real searches — MOTs, full services, interim services, diagnostics, brake repairs, clutch replacement, air conditioning regas, tyres — each gets its own page so Google knows exactly what you offer.
- Photo galleries and trust signals — your workshop, your team, your equipment, your reviews. People want to know they're handing their car to a proper garage, not a bloke with a trolley jack on a residential street.
- Click-to-call and enquiry forms — phone number visible everywhere, tap-to-call on mobile, and simple contact forms on every page.
Online Booking That Actually Makes You Money
Here's where it gets interesting — and where your website stops being just a digital brochure and starts being a proper business tool.
With the 360 Degree, you get a fully integrated booking system that adapts to exactly how your garage operates. Not some rigid off-the-shelf calendar that forces you to work around it — a system that works around you.
Set it up however suits your workshop. Hourly slots, half-hour slots, time windows, or no time slots at all. If you want to book five MOTs a day and just have customers drop the car before 9am, you can do that. If you want 30-minute diagnostic slots throughout the day, that works too. Your garage, your rules.
Prepaid bookings — guaranteed revenue before the car arrives. Turn on prepayment for any service you choose. MOTs, basic services, air con regas — whatever makes sense for your business. The customer pays when they book, not when they show up. That means no more no-shows costing you a ramp slot and an hour's labour. You wake up in the morning knowing exactly what's booked and what's already paid for.
Prepaid MOTs mean no more empty ramps at 9am because someone "forgot" they had a booking. The slot is paid for. The car shows up. Your morning is sorted.
You control which services require prepayment and which don't. Want MOTs prepaid but diagnostics pay-on-the-day? Done. Want everything prepaid? Done. Want to switch it off entirely for a week because you've got a quiet patch and want to lower the barrier? That's fine too. Change it whenever you like.
Automated SMS and email confirmations. When a customer books, they get a confirmation. The day before, they get a reminder. The messages say whatever you want — your garage name, your address, what to do when they arrive, where to leave the keys. Professional, branded communication without you typing a single text.
Think about what that means for your week. Instead of answering calls between jobs, chasing confirmations, and dealing with people who "forgot" they had a booking, you've got a system handling all of it. Your diary fills itself. Your revenue is confirmed in advance. And you can focus on the actual work.

Stop Overpaying for Less
Most web designers don't understand garages. They'll build you a pretty website and charge you thousands, but it won't have booking functionality, it won't rank locally, and it definitely won't help you get prepaid MOTs locked in for next Tuesday.
Agencies charge £2,000–£5,000 for a brochure site, then point you toward a third-party booking system at £30–£50 a month on top. The subscription designers charge £149–£199 a month but lock you into 12 months — and their "booking integration" is usually just an embedded Calendly link that looks like an afterthought.
Sitethreesixty includes it all. Three Degrees — 90, 180 and 360. The 360 Degree includes the full booking system with SMS, email confirmations, prepaid bookings, and complete flexibility over how your diary works. No third-party bolt-ons.
