Everything Your MOT Bay Management Needs
Purpose-built MOT bay management tools that slot seamlessly into your wider garage management software workflow.
Dedicated MOT Calendar
A separate 30-day MOT calendar view alongside your main workshop diary. See MOT slots, availability, and tester workload at a glance without cluttering your general bookings.
Configurable Slot Duration
Set your own MOT slot durations to match how your testers work. Whether you run 45-minute or 60-minute slots, the calendar adapts to your workflow.
Automated Customer Reminders
Never let a customer's MOT lapse without knowing. Automated reminders bring customers back to your workshop before their test expires, keeping your MOT bay consistently booked.
MOT Tester Assignment
Assign MOTs directly to your nominated testers. Each tester sees only their workload, and your reception team can manage capacity across multiple testers effortlessly.

When an MOT reveals advisory or failure items, convert them to a quoted job sheet in seconds. Drag an MOT booking into your main calendar to create a repair job with the customer's details pre-filled.
Vehicle Health Checks with MOTs
Pair every MOT with a professional vehicle health check. Upload photos and videos of any issues found, and share a branded report directly with the customer to increase upsell conversion.
MOT Pricing Control
Set a default MOT price across your workshop. It appears automatically on quotes and invoices, keeping your pricing consistent and eliminating manual entry errors.

Your MOT calendar and tester views work on desktop, tablet, and phone. Testers can check their schedule from the bay, reception can book from the front desk, and owners can monitor from anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the MOT calendar work alongside my main workshop calendar?
Yes. Torq'd uses a tabbed calendar system — your main workshop calendar handles general bookings and repairs, while the dedicated MOT calendar shows a 30-day view specifically for MOT slots. Both share the same customer and vehicle data, so there's no duplication.
Can customers book MOTs online through my website?
Yes. The online booking widget includes MOT as a service type. Customers select their vehicle, choose an available MOT slot, and the booking lands directly in your MOT calendar. One line of code on your website, works 24/7.
How do automated MOT reminders work?
Torq'd tracks MOT expiry dates for every vehicle in your CRM. As the expiry approaches, automated reminders are sent to the customer prompting them to book their next test. This keeps your MOT bay consistently full without your reception team chasing each customer manually.
Can I convert MOT failures to repair jobs?
Yes, and it takes seconds. When a tester identifies advisory or failure items, you can drag the MOT booking into your main calendar to create a repair job. The customer details, vehicle info, and failure notes are pre-populated into a new job sheet ready for quoting.
Does it work for multi-tester workshops?
Absolutely. You can assign MOTs to specific testers, view each tester's workload, and manage capacity across multiple MOT bays. Each tester sees only their own schedule in a clean, focused view.
What does Torq'd MOT management cost?
MOT management is included in all Torq'd plans at no extra cost. Professional plan is £90/month, Enterprise is £199/month — both with unlimited users and all features. 1-month free trial, no card required.
Can I set different MOT slot lengths?
Yes. The MOT slot duration is fully configurable in your workshop settings. Whether your testers need 45 minutes, 60 minutes, or any other duration, the calendar adapts to show availability based on your preferred slot length.
Does it integrate with DVSA or MOT testing systems?
Torq'd manages the workshop side of MOT operations — booking, scheduling, customer communication, tester assignment, and the workflow from test to invoice. The DVSA testing station equipment and result submission remain separate as required by regulation.
