MOT and service booking system by vehicle registration
Identify the vehicle, show the correct services and prices then move the customer into your garage booking process
Add a UK registration lookup to your WordPress website and build a complete MOT, servicing, repair or diagnostic booking journey around it. Rapid Car Check can identify the vehicle, apply your service and pricing rules, collect the customer’s preferred date and send the booking into your garage, CRM or appointment system.
From registration to garage booking
What happens after a customer enters their registration?
The vehicle lookup becomes the first step in the booking. The website can identify the vehicle, apply your service rules and continue into the correct garage journey.

The customer enters a UK registration on the garage website or booking page.
Vehicle identified
Rapid Car Check returns the agreed vehicle information where records are available.
