MOT booking for test centres

Every MOT slot, booked by phone.

Drivers call to ask when they can bring the car in for its MOT. Khairo takes the registration and vehicle type, books a time in your test bay, texts the time, and reminds them a year later when the next MOT is due.

01Sound familiar?

The same question, all day long.

  1. “When can I come?”

    Most calls are the same short question, and every one pulls a tester away from the bay.

  2. Queues at the door

    Drivers who can't get through just turn up. The bay backs up, and booked customers wait behind them.

    Due once a year, forgotten once a year

    Almost one in seven drivers booked their MOT only after it had run out. Drivers who got a reminder were 55% less likely to let it lapse.

05Questions

MOT testing: what owners ask

  • Can Khairo book several cars at the same time?

    Yes. Set how many vehicles your centre tests at once, and Khairo books each slot up to that number.

  • Does it always ask for the registration?

    Yes. For an MOT centre the registration and the vehicle type are required before a booking is made.

  • Which vehicle types can it take?

    Cars, vans, motorcycles and the other classes you test. Which ones you take, and how long each test takes, is up to you.

  • Can drivers move or cancel by phone?

    Yes, up to the limit you set (24 hours by default). Closer to the time, Khairo puts the call through to you.

  • Can Khairo remind customers when their next MOT is due?

    Yes. A rule such as “11 months after an MOT” sends a message with an opt-out; customers who reply 1 get a call and a booking.

Never miss a booking again.
