A website built for Ringwood garages
Ringwood is a Hampshire market town on the A31 at the western edge of the New Forest — a short hop over the border from the Dorset garages we already spend our time visiting. Traffic on the A31 means passing trade and plenty of commuters, and commuters book online. MOTHQ gives your garage a website that turns that into work: reg lookup, instant MOT status, online booking, and an automatic SMS reminder a month before the next test. It connects to our pages for nearby Christchurch, New Milton and Ferndown, so your garage shows up whether a driver searches from Hampshire or just across the Dorset line.

Local questions
A local supplier, not a call centre
You're in Dorset — do you really cover Ringwood?
Yes. Ringwood is barely over the border and right next to Christchurch, which we already cover; the A31 makes it an easy visit from Poole.
Can Eric come over the border to see us?
Yes — he visits garages in Ringwood and the New Forest edge in person, so distance over the county line is no obstacle.
How do the MOT reminders work?
Automatically. The system texts and emails your customer before their MOT is due, in your garage's name, so they book back in with you rather than drifting elsewhere.
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.
