As the owner of Grimmer Motors, I understand that one of the biggest challenges for garages is ensuring customers return for their Warrant of Fitness (WOF) to your garage and on time. A missed WOF not only puts drivers at risk but also means lost business for your garage. That’s why we’re introducing automatic WOF reminders, a hassle-free way to keep your customers on track and your business thriving.

How Automatic WOF Reminders Work
Sending WOF reminders has never been easier. Instead of manually entering WOF due dates into a separate system or relying on customers to remember, this system automates the entire process.
Easily Capture Customer Details for WOF Reminders
No need to type in customer details! You simply take a photo of the customer’s details on your computer screen or job card during the normal WOF process, and the system automatically collects their name and email address. This eliminates manual data entry, saving you valuable time. The system also stores the customer’s details, so the next time they come in, their name and email address are already there, making future WOF reminders even easier and faster to send.
Set Your Own WOF Reminder Schedule
You’re in control of when reminders go out, with the recommended schedule being:
- 6 weeks before the WOF is due – Gives customers plenty of time to book.
- 2 weeks before the WOF is due – A final reminder to ensure they don’t forget.
- WOF Recheck Reminder – If a vehicle fails its WOF, a recheck reminder ensures your customer doesn’t go over the 28-day recheck period. This helps them avoid paying for a full inspection again (and possibly getting a different WOF result which is difficult to explain). It also encourages them to return to your garage to get the work done.
Choose the Best Time of Day for WOF Reminders
Not only can you customize when reminders are sent, but you can also choose the exact time of day they go out. We’ve found that 10 AM, Monday to Friday, is ideal as customers are more likely to check their emails and take action at this time.
Reliable Email-Based Reminders
Our testing shows that text messages are unnecessary for WOF reminders since email reminders are sent weeks before the WOF is due. Text messages are great for urgent responses, but for WOF reminders, email is a very effective method. Customers appreciate the convenience of a well-timed email, allowing them to book at their own pace. Emails also provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for WOF reminders.
No Manual Input Required – Fully Automated
Once set up, the system automatically scans for upcoming WOF due dates and sends reminders, no manual input required. That means:
- No more manually entry of WOF due dates
- No more manually sending WOF individual reminders every day
- No risk of forgetting to send out WOF reminders to customers
This fully automated system reduces admin work, allowing you to focus on servicing vehicles rather than chasing reminders.
Professional and Branded WOF Reminder Emails
A well-formatted WOF reminder email not only reminds customers of their upcoming inspection but also reinforces your brand and professionalism. With our system, you can send clear, easy-to-read reminders that include all necessary details, making it simple for customers to book their appointment.
You can even customize the email with your company logo, giving it a professional touch and strengthening brand recognition. A well-structured email ensures customers take action while presenting your garage as organized, reliable, and customer-focused.
Boost Repeat Business and Customer Loyalty
Automatic WOF reminders ensure customers return to your garage every year. Instead of searching for another service provider, they’ll appreciate the convenience of a reminder from you, strengthening customer loyalty. More repeat customers mean steady business growth and higher profits for your garage.
