Every shop gets a public booking page at trycarsignal.com/book/your-shop. Link it from your website, Google profile, and social pages.
What the customer sees
A short flow that branches on the first question:
- "I know what I need." They pick one or more services from your catalog and a preferred time.
- "Something's wrong." They pick symptoms (or describe the problem) and choose a drop-off window, since diagnosis needs the car, not a time slot.
Bookings are bot-protected and confirmed to the customer by text and email.
What it creates
Each booking atomically creates the client, the vehicle, the issues, and the schedule slot, with capacity checks (bays, drop-off caps, diag-capable techs, labor budget) applied before anything is promised. The car appears in your Incoming lane.
Your controls
Settings, Booking gives you:
- Your booking URL slug
- A "customers can choose a time" toggle; off means requests only, and you confirm times
- Drop-offs offered per morning and afternoon
- Bays, minimum lead time, diagnostic block hours, and a utilization target
The service catalog (Settings, Service menu) controls exactly which services are bookable.
Outreach messages use personalized booking links that pre-fill the customer and vehicle, so a reminder becomes a booked job in two taps. See Outreach.
