Most garages, MOT centres, and car service businesses already have a website but many still rely on static contact forms that do little more than collect names and numbers. In 2025 customers expect more. They want instant answers, live prices, and a booking process that feels as easy as using a major brand’s website. That is exactly what Rapid Car Check’s Vehicle Forms and Workflow Plugins are built to do. They allow any existing website to add a live registration lookup form so customers can enter their number plate and instantly see details of their car along with relevant pricing or service options.
For garages this is one of the quickest ways to turn a standard enquiry page into a genuine booking tool. A customer enters their registration, your site automatically identifies the make, model, and engine size, and then the form displays the correct MOT or service pricing based on that data. No more back and forth emails. No more manual lookups. The customer feels looked after immediately and you capture all the correct details the first time.
The Rapid Car Check plugin works with any WordPress or WooCommerce site and can be styled to match your existing design. You can embed it in your homepage, service page, or contact section so the lookup becomes a natural part of your customer journey. As soon as a registration is entered the plugin fetches verified UK vehicle data such as make, model, body type, fuel type, and MOT status. This information can then feed directly into your booking logic, pricing rules, or CRM system depending on how your site is set up.
If you want more control over how the data is used our Vehicle Data API gives you complete flexibility. The API allows your developer to connect registration lookups to custom pricing calculators or service menus. You could for instance show one price for small hatchbacks, another for SUVs, and another for commercial vans all automatically triggered by the vehicle data. The result is a seamless online booking experience that feels personalised and professional.
For lead generation the impact is immediate. A vehicle lookup form captures more qualified leads than a standard enquiry form because it filters out time wasters and gives your team context before calling back. When a customer fills in a form that already includes their vehicle details you know exactly what they need. You can quote faster, respond more accurately, and convert more leads into confirmed bookings. It also builds trust because customers can see that the data is verified and up to date.
Garages using these forms report that customers engage more and spend longer on their sites. The interaction is simple, familiar, and feels reliable. It mirrors the experience customers already have with large national service networks but keeps the enquiry on your own website where you control the brand and the relationship.
For businesses that already have a site and do not want a full rebuild our forms and workflow plugins integrate without major changes. They can be connected to your existing contact forms, CRMs, or booking plugins. If you want to take it further we also provide custom app and website build services where our team designs fully tailored solutions for high volume or multi branch operations.
These small upgrades often make the biggest difference. A form that recognises a customer’s car instantly feels more advanced than one that simply asks them to type it in. It saves your staff time, reduces admin errors, and gives your customers the confidence that you are running a modern, professional operation.
If you are ready to increase bookings and capture more leads, start by adding a registration lookup form to your website. It takes minutes to install and can transform how customers interact with your business. Explore the tools and resources below to get started.
