SMS MOT reminders

SMS MOT reminders give garages a direct, reliable way to prompt bookings with short messages customers can read and act on quickly.

Reach customers quickly: Text messages are still one of the most practical ways to send MOT reminders. They work across almost every phone, do not depend on an app being installed, and are easy to scan on the move.
Keep the copy focused: A strong SMS reminder should include the vehicle, MOT due date, garage name, and a clear booking instruction. Short copy usually performs best because customers can act without hunting for details.
Support quick replies: SMS works well when your team wants a simple reply path. Customers can ask for a booking, confirm interest, or call the garage from the same message thread.
Handle opt-outs cleanly: Customers can reply with OPTOUT and stay in control of future reminders. That keeps your MOT reminder process tidy and reduces manual unsubscribe admin.
