How TyreShop helps

A simpler way to handle this part of the day

TyreShop keeps bookings, customer details and the live workshop schedule together. Staff can plan bays and technicians, move bookings when the day changes and send reminders from the same place.

A better way to run the day

Make the day easier to plan before the first car arrives

Workshop calendar with bookings arranged by date and time
Capacity

See the day before promising a time

A shared calendar makes it easier to see existing bookings and place new work where the team has capacity.

  • Day, week and month views
  • Drag to reschedule
  • Colour-coded status
Booking details carried into a workshop job
Handover

Connect the booking to the actual job

Customer, vehicle and work details can move from the booking into the workshop workflow instead of being copied into a separate diary or card.

  • Customer and vehicle attached
  • Workshop board handover
  • Shared team context
SMS and email reminders for upcoming workshop bookings
Arrival

Keep customers informed before the booking

Confirmations and reminders by SMS or email help put the booking details in the customer’s hands without a manual call list.

  • Confirmations
  • Appointment reminders
  • Communication history

Common questions

What shop owners usually want to know

Can customers book online?

Yes. A public online booking widget is included on Professional and Enterprise plans. Starter includes the staff calendar and manual bookings.

Can I assign a booking to a bay or technician?

Yes. Bookings can be organised around bays and technicians so the diary reflects how work is planned in the shop.

Does the system send booking reminders?

SMS and email can be used for confirmations and reminders. SMS allowances depend on plan and additional SMS is metered.
