Key Features
Service catalog modelled as native WooCommerce products — MOT, interim/full service, repairs and tyre fitting as simple or variable products, inheriting your existing tax classes, coupons and order emails
Vehicle capture at booking — registration, make, model, mileage and VIN stored as structured order meta and shown on the admin order screen and packing/job sheet
Bay and lift capacity control — availability is calculated against concurrent capacity per service, so multiple short jobs can run in parallel while a long job blocks only the lifts it needs
Per-service duration and slot scheduling — each service carries its own job length and buffer so the calendar offers only genuinely open windows
Labour pricing and parts as line items — set a labour rate per service plus add-on parts that flow through as standard WooCommerce order line items
Deposit or pay-on-collection — take a percentage/fixed deposit at checkout via your live gateway, or let customers reserve and settle in branch
HPOS-native (custom order tables) — built on WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage, not legacy post meta, so large garages stay fast
Order-status workflow hooks — jobs move through booked → in bay → ready for collection via woocommerce_order_status_changed, driving the right customer emails at each stage
WP-Cron reminders — automated 'appointment tomorrow' and 'MOT due next month' emails scheduled through the WordPress cron system
WooCommerce REST API exposure — bookings and vehicle data readable/writable over the REST API for your existing diary, accounting or DVSA-adjacent tooling
Admin settings screen via the WordPress Settings API — configure bays, opening hours, blackout days, buffer times and per-service durations under wp-admin without code
Developer-friendly extension points — documented do_action/apply_filters hooks so future changes don't require a rebuild
WPML-ready and multisite-compatible — run multiple branches or languages from one install
Calendar view of the workshop diary in wp-admin — see every bay's day at a glance and reassign jobs
About this Product
Garage & Workshop Service Booking turns your WooCommerce store into a real workshop diary. Customers pick a service (MOT, full service, brake repair, tyre fit), enter their vehicle, choose an open slot, and pay a deposit or arrange pay-on-collection — while your bays and lifts never get double-booked.
Why Choose Garage & Workshop Service Booking
Service catalog modelled as native WooCommerce products — MOT, interim/full service, repairs and tyre fitting as simple or variable products, inheriting your existing tax classes, coupons and order emails
Vehicle capture at booking — registration, make, model, mileage and VIN stored as structured order meta and shown on the admin order screen and packing/job sheet
Bay and lift capacity control — availability is calculated against concurrent capacity per service, so multiple short jobs can run in parallel while a long job blocks only the lifts it needs
Per-service duration and slot scheduling — each service carries its own job length and buffer so the calendar offers only genuinely open windows
Labour pricing and parts as line items — set a labour rate per service plus add-on parts that flow through as standard WooCommerce order line items
Deposit or pay-on-collection — take a percentage/fixed deposit at checkout via your live gateway, or let customers reserve and settle in branch
This is not an instant marketplace download. ECOSIRE builds the plugin against your WordPress site, theme and gateway, installs it, migrates your service list, and supports it. We model each service as a native WooCommerce product (variable products for engine size or labour bands), so your existing tax classes, coupons, order emails and reporting keep working — no parallel booking silo.
Under the hood we register a garage_booking association on the order, add availability logic that respects concurrent bay/lift capacity rather than just one-slot-per-time, and capture vehicle data (reg, make, model, mileage, VIN) into structured order meta. The booking calendar reads capacity per service duration, so a 90-minute cambelt job blocks the right window across the right number of lifts. We hook WooCommerce order-status transitions (woocommerce_order_status_changed) to move jobs from booked to in bay to collected, and use the WordPress Settings API for an admin screen where you set bays, opening hours, buffer times and per-service durations.
We build on HPOS (custom order tables), expose bookings through the WooCommerce REST API so your existing diary or DVSA tooling can read them, and ship WP-Cron reminder jobs for "MOT due" and "appointment tomorrow" emails. The plugin is WPML-ready and works on multisite. You get clean, hookable code — do_action/apply_filters extension points — not a locked black box. Honest delivery, real support, your data.

Who this is for
Independent garage owner
Runs a 2–4 bay workshop doing MOTs, servicing and repairs. Wants customers to book online and pay a deposit instead of phoning, without double-booking the ramps or learning a separate SaaS diary.
Tyre & fast-fit shop manager
Sells tyre fitting, wheel alignment and brakes with short, parallel jobs. Needs capacity-aware slots so several quick fittings can run at once, plus vehicle/reg capture to pull the right tyre size.
WordPress developer or agency
Maintains the garage's WooCommerce site and would rather commission a clean, hookable plugin from ECOSIRE than stitch together generic booking add-ons. Cares about HPOS, REST API access and documented filters.

Frequently Asked Questions about Garage & Workshop Service Booking
+Is this an instant download I can install myself?
No. Garage & Workshop Service Booking is build-to-order. ECOSIRE builds the plugin against your specific WordPress site, theme and payment gateway, then installs and configures it for you. There is no WordPress.org or WooCommerce.com download link — you're commissioning a tailored build, not buying an off-the-shelf zip.
+How long does delivery take?
Typical delivery is around 2–4 weeks from the point we confirm your service list, bay/lift count and gateway, depending on how much customisation you need (e.g. variable labour bands, DVSA-style MOT reminders, multisite branches). We agree a firm timeline in writing before starting and keep you updated through build and installation.
+What happens after launch — do I get support and updates?
Yes. Every build includes a defined post-launch support and bug-fix window, agreed in writing, covering fixes and compatibility with WooCommerce/WordPress updates during that period. After it ends, you can continue on a support arrangement or request changes as scoped work. Because the code uses documented hooks and filters, future enhancements rarely need a full rebuild.
+Will it conflict with my existing WooCommerce setup, gateway or theme?
It's designed not to. Services are native WooCommerce products, so your tax classes, coupons, order emails and reporting keep working. We build on HPOS (custom order tables) and your live gateway, and test against your active theme during installation. Deposits and pay-on-collection run through your existing checkout rather than a separate payment flow.
+Can it handle multiple bays running jobs at the same time?
Yes — that's the core of it. Availability is calculated against concurrent bay/lift capacity and per-service duration, not a single slot per time. Several short jobs (a tyre change, a quick diagnostic) can run in parallel while a long job, like a cambelt, blocks only the lifts and window it actually needs.
+Can I capture vehicle details and send MOT reminders?
Yes. We capture registration, make, model, mileage and VIN at booking into structured order meta, visible on the admin order and job sheet. WP-Cron scheduled jobs can send 'appointment tomorrow' and 'MOT due' reminder emails. Bookings are also exposed over the WooCommerce REST API so external diary or reminder tooling can read the data.
