Auto repair shops

Online scheduling for auto repair shops

Let customers request a service at a free time and keep the shop calendar in one place.

A repair shop juggles jobs of very different lengths and a team of mechanics. 4appointments gives customers a booking page where they choose the type of service and a free time. You set the duration and price of each service and each mechanic’s schedule; your team confirms requests and sees everything in the same calendar. Lifts and other bays are not bookable resources in the tool, so track them separately.

What auto shops like about 4appointments

Booking by type of service
Inspections, oil changes, alignments or diagnostics, each with its own duration and price.
A schedule per mechanic
Each mechanic has a weekly schedule with exceptions and days off, and customers see only the free times.
A pause between jobs
The “Buffer (min)” field adds a pause after each booking, for example to prepare the next bay.
Confirmation by the shop
Each request arrives as pending and holds the slot until your team confirms it. Bookings made by phone can be entered in the same calendar.

FAQ for auto repair shops

Can I assign bookings to specific mechanics?

Yes. Each mechanic is a provider with their own schedule. Lifts and other bays do not exist as bookable resources in 4appointments.

Can I set how long each service takes?

Yes. Each service has a configurable duration, and the time reserved respects it. You can also add a pause after the booking with the “Buffer (min)” field.

Will customers be told when their car is ready?

No. 4appointments does not send “job finished” notices or any other message to customers from bookings. Contact the customer through your usual channels.

Can I still take bookings by phone?

Yes. Your team enters them by hand in the “Bookings” section, and they appear in the same calendar as online requests.
