How garages and car dealers can automate customer enquiries and follow-ups
The short answer
Cars need servicing on a schedule, and buyers take weeks to decide. Both are perfect for automation: service bookings and reminders bring customers back on time, and test-drive bookings with follow-ups keep buyers warm until they're ready.

What should happen after someone enquires
Six steps. None of them by hand.
- 01EnquireA service booking, quote or test drive.
- 02VehicleMake, model and history saved.
- 03BookA bay slot or test-drive time.
- 04Update'Your car is ready' sent automatically.
- 05PayBy card, with a receipt.
- 06RemindNext service due — before they forget.
For garages: the service reminder is your best salesperson
Customers don't forget on purpose; they just lose track. A reminder when the next service is due — based on the date of their last visit — brings them back to you instead of whoever is closest that day.
For dealers: buyers need time, not pressure
A buyer may look at a car five times before booking a test drive. Capturing their interest, booking the drive online and following up with relevant stock keeps you in the conversation without the hard sell.
