Five products. One account. Each is an operations dashboard and the SEO website that fills it — for the forecourt, the workshop, the driving school, the rental fleet and the private-hire desk. Co-driver is the WhatsApp and SMS desk on every product: it reads the live file and will not invent a price. Automotive Systems launches at the end of Q4 2026.
Buyers search for the job, not the umbrella. Each product is a full platform for one stage of the vehicle lifecycle. Run one, or several, from a single organisation.
Short and exact. Full pages live on each product URL for search.
Used-car dealers and forecourts
Dealers run stock in a spreadsheet, ads on a marketplace, and a website that is weeks out of date — so cars sit, and buyers never see what is actually on the pitch.
Garages, MOT centres, mobile mechanics and mobile tyre vans
Most garages still run the diary on paper, then rebuild every estimate in WhatsApp — so bays sit empty and MOT reminders go out late. Mobile tyre and mobile mechanics lose the same hours on “where are you?” threads, with no live pin and no technical data on the van.
Driving instructors and driving schools
Instructors lose hours to WhatsApp diaries, and their website does not rank for “driving lessons in {town}” — so the diary has holes and the phone does the selling.
Vehicle rental operators of every kind
Rental operators buy a car-hire tool, then bolt on PHV, camper or minibus rules in spreadsheets — so compliance lapses and each vertical needs another vendor.
Coach, minibus and private-hire operators
Private-hire and coach firms quote in email, dispatch in a group chat, and lose the job when nobody calls back — so the diary is full of maybes and unpaid holds.
In every product
Customers still message the business. Co-driver sits on that thread. It looks up stock, bays, lessons, hire and jobs from the same record your team uses, then sends a short UK reply — or holds the line and asks a person.
Is the car still on the pitch? Is the MOT done? Has the instructor got a gap Saturday? Co-driver only states what the tools returned. If the lookup fails, it does not guess.
No made-up labour times, pack rates, hire extras or “best price”. Haggling, estimates and extensions go to staff. You talk; Co-driver writes the note — it will not pad the fare.
Finance, APR, complaints, refunds, and anything about a child or safeguarding are handed off. Keyword rules win even if the model thinks it could answer.
Stock on the pitch, advertised asking price, spec and MOT — not a haggle, not PCP.
Job status, bay or van ETA, MOT due — not invented oil grades or labour prices.
Lesson gaps, advertised pack prices and remaining hours — never another pupil, never a child thread.
Whether a class is free, and the status of a booking — extra days are staff, not the desk.
Whether the diary can take the job, and where a booked run is — quotes wait for a fare from the tools.
Co-driver sits on every band except Starter and Solo. WorkshopOS Callout includes it. See pricing.
Most businesses stitch a booking tool, a website, a payment provider and a spreadsheet together. Automotive Systems ships them as one.
Each platform is two things at once: the operations dashboard your team runs on, and an SEO website builder that fills it with work. You don't buy software and marketing separately — they're the same system.
Pages for each town you serve, built so Google and AI answers can find you. Customers arrive from search — not just from an app store.
Licences, MOTs, insurance and credentials are tracked to the day they expire. A booking cannot go out on a lapsed one.
Every product shares the same identity, components and account model. Learn one, know them all — and run a whole forecourt-to-fleet operation without stitching five vendors together.
Owners & operators
More booked work from organic search, less admin, and a single P&L view across the business.
Finance
Recurring billing, deposits, dunning and arrears handled in-platform — predictable cash, fewer write-offs.
Compliance & ops
Credential expiry tracking with auto-suspend, e-signed document packs, and a full audit trail per booking.
Marketing
A website builder that ships SEO landing pages, schema and sitemaps without a developer in the loop.
Each product has its own plans. Choose a product to see them.
Banded on stock on the pitch. Pro includes WorkshopOS on the same organisation. Prices exclude VAT.
Independent dealers, one site.
Busy yards that need the site to keep up.
The dealer and the workshop, one account.
Included on Pro · in development
A car that left the pitch can come back for MOT and service without a second garage system. Same organisation, same customer, a job card instead of a WhatsApp thread — so the bays earn after the sale, not a separate vendor. This band is the dealership garage. Mobile tyre or mobile mechanics is WorkshopOS Callout if you also run vans.
Bay planner and technician diary
Service and MOT sit on a real planner, not a paper diary next to the stock sheet. Empty bays show up before the week is lost.
Digital vehicle health checks
Photos and video live on the job. The customer sees the same record the technician used — not a gallery that dies in chat.
Estimate → approval → invoice
The person who bought the car can approve the work in the same organisation you already logged them in.
MOT and service reminders that book
The reminder is there to fill a bay, not to send an email that nobody answers. Due dates come from the vehicle, not a spreadsheet.
Oil, timing, tyres and labour from the registration
Spec, quantity, timing type, tyre sizes, service due and labour times come back on the vehicle. Create the job from that — not a technical-data window beside the job card.
Bookable garage website
Your domain, plus local MOT and service pages. Search fills the diary the same way the stock site fills the pitch.
Co-driver on the workshop thread
"Is it ready?" and MOT due are answered from the job card. It will not invent parts or labour prices.

Automotive Systems is a family of software platforms for the motor trade. Each product pairs an operations dashboard with an SEO website builder for a specific part of the vehicle lifecycle — selling, servicing, teaching, renting and reserving vehicles — all sharing one design system, login and billing model.
End of Q4 2026. Launching Q4 2026 across the family. WorkshopOS remains in development; the other products ship with the platform.
No. Each product has its own plans, and all of them are paid from the first site, instructor or vehicle. DrivingSchoolOS starts at £19 for a solo instructor; PreBookingOS starts at £39 for an owner-driver. WorkshopOS adds Callout for mobile tyre and mobile mechanics. Larger schools, fleets and desks step onto a higher band.
Most operators stitch together a booking tool, a website, a payments provider and a spreadsheet. Automotive Systems ships those as one product per business type, so your dashboard and your marketing site are the same system and never fall out of sync.
Yes. They share a core (accounts, payments, compliance rules, CMS and SEO engine) and a single sign-on. One organisation can enable several modules. ForecourtOS Pro includes WorkshopOS on that same organisation — the dealer and the garage, one login. WorkshopOS remains in development.
Co-driver is the WhatsApp and SMS desk that ships in every Automotive Systems product. It speaks as the business, looks up the live file (stock, jobs, lessons, hire, bookings), and either replies or hands the thread to a person. It will not invent a price, quote finance, or handle a complaint. It sits on every band except Starter and Solo. WorkshopOS Callout includes it.
Each product generates programmatic per-town or per-model landing pages with valid JSON-LD, server-rendered HTML, clean sitemaps and fast Core Web Vitals — the levers that drive local organic ranking and AI-answer citations. It's built for search from the ground up, not bolted on.
