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.
- CallerMy car's MOT is due next month. When can I bring it in?
- KhairoWhat's the registration?
- CallerLB19 XKT.
- KhairoThank you. An MOT for a car is £45. I have Monday at 8:00, 9:00 or 10:00.
- CallerNine.
- KhairoLB19 XKT, Monday 26 October at 9:00. Shall I book it?
- CallerYes.

01Sound familiar?
The same question, all day long.
“When can I come?”
Most calls are the same short question, and every one pulls a tester away from the bay.
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.

02How it works
Live the same day, no sales call.
Khairo learns from what you already have. You stay in control of every answer and every rule.
- Step 01
Show Khairo your business
Drop in your price list or point it at your website, then add your services, how long each takes and your opening hours.
- Step 02
Read its answers
Before anything goes live, see how Khairo answers your callers' questions, and fix what isn't right in your own words.
- Step 03
Publish your booking line
Put your Khairo number on your website, Google profile and sign. From then on, every call is answered and booked.
03What Khairo does
MOT booking, done right: simple slots, yearly reminders.
Asks what your trade needs
The registration and vehicle type for a garage or an MOT centre; NHS or private and new patient or not for a dental clinic. The answers arrive with the booking.
People and places, together
A visit can need a dentist and a chair, or a mechanic and a bay. Khairo books only when everything the service needs is free, and handles an MOT centre that tests several cars at once.
Books only real free slots
Khairo never invents a time. It offers the slots your calendar actually has for that service, books the one the caller picks, and the booking is final.
Answers every call, day and night
Evenings, weekends, lunch breaks and the busy Monday morning. Khairo picks up every call on your booking line, whenever it comes.
Brings customers back when they're due
See each customer's last visit and last recall. Send a recall now, later, or on a schedule (“6 months after a check-up”). Customers who reply 1 get a call and a booking, and every recall is logged with its outcome.
Confirmation by text message
Every booking gets a text with the business, day and time, to the caller's mobile or to the mobile they gave when calling from a landline.

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.
Forward your number, and Khairo answers, books and brings customers back. Be one of the first clinics, salons and garages to go live.
