Garage websites in Dorchester
Dorchester is Dorset's county town, drawing drivers from a broad rural area, with trade units around the Grove Trading Estate and newer development out at Poundbury. A county-town garage should be the obvious choice online, not buried under directory listings. MOTHQ gives you a proper website with online booking, live DVLA reg lookup and automatic MOT reminders, so customers book themselves in and come back each year without chasing. Everything — quotes, invoices, customer records — lives in one place under your own domain. It ties into our pages for nearby Weymouth and Blandford Forum, keeping your garage in front of drivers across central Dorset.

Local questions
A local supplier, not a call centre
Do you cover Dorchester and out towards Weymouth?
Yes — our pages for Dorchester, Weymouth and Blandford Forum link together, so your garage stays visible across central and south Dorset.
Can we sit down together to set it up?
Yes. Eric is Poole-based and comes out to garages across Dorset in person, so you can go through everything at your own place in Dorchester.
What does it cost, honestly?
£99 a month — one flat price, no setup fee, no bolt-ons, cancel anytime.
The maths is simple
One extra MOT a month covers it.
The maximum UK MOT is £54.85. MOTHQ is £99/month — less than two MOTs. If our reminders bring back two customers a month, you've already broken even. Most garages get that back in the first week.
Automatic reminders are the single biggest reason customers come back instead of drifting to the dealership.
