The challenges facing garages
The number of ramps limits everything
Three vehicles at a time, not four. The schedule has to know.
The durations are nothing alike
An oil change, a cambelt, a body repair. From twenty minutes to three days.
The phone in the workshop
Hands inside an engine, you do not take bookings.
The courtesy car
One or two, much in demand, to be booked at the same time as the job.

Practical guide: Garages
- Each ramp is a resource: it never gets booked twice.
- One service per type of job, with its real duration.
- The courtesy car as a resource, bookable as an add-on.
- A "make, model, registration" field to get the parts ready.
- A reminder the night before: it is what brings scheduled services in.

What does a UK garage have to comply with?
Vehicle repair is not a licensed trade, but four duties bite. Air conditioning work requires F-gas certification for the technician and the company, and working on refrigerant without it is an offence. Waste oil, filters, tyres, batteries and coolant are hazardous waste: you must use a registered carrier and keep consignment notes. Environmental permitting may apply to spray booths. And on the consumer side, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be carried out with reasonable care and skill and, where no price was agreed, for a reasonable price — which is why written estimates and authorisation before extra work matter. MOT testing is a separate authorisation from the DVSA.
