For independent UK garages
Welkford checks your customers’ plates against the public MOT record, prices the overdue MOTs, repeat advisories and services due at your rates, and writes the message. You read it and press send. Paste your plates below and see your own list.
One per line, or paste a column straight out of a spreadsheet.
Free preview of the product on your own cars, every line shown in full. No account. Registrations only — no names, phone numbers or email addresses. A registration can point back at a person, so we treat it as personal data: it is used to look up the public DVSA record, nothing else, and an unclaimed preview is deleted 30 days after it is created.

Every car's expiry date from the DVSA record, re-read every night. Cars that passed elsewhere drop off the list on their own.
The same advisory two tests running. DVSA results show that car is between 1.8x and 18x likelier to fail on that item next time than a car never advised on it. 10 of the forty have one.
Odometer readings across tests give each car's yearly mileage. The record cannot say whether it had a service, so the message asks. 13 of the forty, £2,457.
Front brake pads wearing: 0.8h at £72 plus £60 parts, £118. Change your labour rate and every figure moves. The sum stays on screen.
£99 /month
60-day pilot. No card and nothing charged. We ask at the end, next to what it found.
The average priced line across those forty cars is £149 of invoice. Assume half of that survives as gross margin after parts and it is £75 a job, so 2 booked jobs a month cover the subscription.
The 50% is our assumption, not your figure: £99 ÷ (£149 × your margin) is the sum, and it is yours to redo.
See your list first10 garages can be on the pilot at once. One person reads every import that goes wrong and answers every email, and 10 is what one person can do properly. No garage has finished a pilot yet, so you would be among the first.
