Built for your type of business
METBooker adapts to how you work — not the other way around. Select your business type to see the features that matter most to you.
Built for mechanics who go to the customer.
You're under a bonnet when the phone rings. You're driving to the next job when someone wants to book. METBooker takes bookings 24/7, validates coverage areas automatically, and has your day planned before you start the van.
Coverage radius control
Set your maximum service distance. Customers outside your area simply see no available slots — no awkward rejections, no wasted calls.
Calendar as route planner
Every booking drops into your Google or Outlook calendar with the customer's address. Your phone calendar becomes your route for the day.
B2B fleet invoicing
Doing fleet maintenance for local businesses? Collect company name and PO numbers at booking. Invoices generate automatically with everything they need to pay.
GDPR handled for you
Customer data encrypted at rest. Automatic deletion after 90 days for cancelled bookings. GDPR applies to every UK business — it's handled automatically.
Fill every bay. Manage every mechanic.
Volume bookings, multiple staff, fleet accounts, walk-ins alongside online bookings, and the accountability of a full audit trail. METBooker scales from a single bay to a full-service workshop without adding admin overhead.
Role-based admin access
Receptionist gets view-only access. Service manager can edit bookings. You keep full control. Three access levels, no security risk.
Manual booking for walk-ins
Customer walks in off the street? Book them directly from the admin console. Same calendar sync, same confirmation email — no paper diary.
VAT-ready invoicing
Auto-numbered invoices with VAT displayed separately. Volume invoicing handled automatically — no manual re-entry.
Staff ICS calendar invites
Staff receive automatic calendar invites to their phone — iPhone, Android, Outlook, Google. No new apps to learn, no admin console login needed.
High-value jobs deserve a professional booking experience.
Your clients are spending serious money. A generic booking tool doesn't reflect that. METBooker gives you fully branded, white-label booking that matches the quality of your work — with deposit protection on every booking.
Service categories
Group services into "Engine", "Suspension", "Diagnostics" etc. Customers navigate a complex catalogue easily. Big workshop energy, clean booking UX.
Customer notes field
Clients can describe their requirements in their own words at booking. "Stage 2 map, already has intake fitted" — in the system before the car arrives.
Parts + service packages
Offer parts-included packages as single-line services. The full payment option lets clients settle everything upfront — no chasing the balance on collection day.
Professional PDF invoices
Numbered, itemised invoices with your branding. Auto-sent on full payment. High-value clients expect professional documentation — it's there automatically.
Clean integrations. Zero infrastructure to own.
You know your way around a dashboard. METBooker plugs into your existing stack cleanly — Google Workspace, M365, GA4, GTM — and gives you the API-level control you expect without the infrastructure overhead.
Clean iframe embed
Drop into your existing site via a single script tag. postMessage communication. Origin allowlist configured per tenant. No site rebuild, no Google ranking impact.
Full audit log + CSV export
Every admin action logged — timestamp, user, action, booking ID. Exportable. Feeds your BI tools. Meets compliance requirements without custom logging work.
M365 full integration
Calendar and email via Microsoft Graph. Per-staff Outlook calendar sync. Corporate Exchange environment? It connects cleanly — no Google account required.
UptimeRobot monitoring
All Cloud Functions monitored 24/7. Uptime percentages visible in your admin console's System Status tab. Know if something breaks before a customer hits it.
If you can use Facebook, you can run METBooker.
No website. No server. No technical knowledge. A Google account, your service list, and a payment provider API key. That's the complete requirement list. Everything else is handled — forever.
Zero maintenance required
No server to patch. No SSL certificate to renew. No database to back up. No hosting bill to pay. METBooker runs entirely on managed infrastructure — your job is just to run your business.
Emails from Gmail — works out of the box
Connect your existing Gmail account in under five minutes. Confirmation emails, invoices, and balance requests send from your address automatically.
Payments handled by trusted providers
Choose Stripe, Square, SumUp, or four others. METBooker never touches your card data — your provider handles it. You get paid directly into your account.
In-console support
Stuck? The Help Guide is built into your admin console. The support form sends your query directly to the team. You never need to search for a contact page.
Five reasons trade businesses switch
Every feature in METBooker exists because a trade business needed it. Not adapted from a hair salon tool. Not a generic appointment scheduler. Built from scratch for workshops, mobile mechanics, and specialist operators.
Built for the trade, not adapted from something generic
DVLA vehicle lookup, mobile coverage radius, deposit + balance splits, VAT-numbered invoices, fleet discount codes. These aren't add-ons. They're built in. Calendly doesn't know what an MOT is.
Takes bookings 24/7 — including while you're under a car
Every booking is paid, confirmed, and in your calendar before you know it happened. At 10 bookings a week, that's 2.5 hours of phone time back every single week.
Your calendar is always accurate — automatically
Every booking creates a Google Calendar or Outlook event. Every reschedule updates it. Every cancellation removes it. Your phone calendar is always correct, without touching it.
No-shows become a choice, not a surprise
Deposits collected upfront mean you keep them when customers don't show. A signed cancellation policy at checkout backs you up. No-show costs become controlled.
Looks like your business, not a booking app
Full white-label branding: your logo, colours, background, email domain. Customers never see the word METBooker. They see a professional booking experience that reflects your work.
Heard these before?
These are the three things trade businesses say most often before they sign up. Here's the honest answer to each.
You're managing bookings at the cost of your time. Every call is 10–15 minutes of interrupted work. Every WhatsApp thread is a manual handoff to a calendar. METBooker doesn't replace your relationship with customers — it handles the admin so you can focus on the job. And it takes bookings at 11pm on a Sunday when you're not picking up.
METBooker's admin console is a settings page, not a developer tool. You fill in your business name, upload your logo, add your services and prices, and connect your Google Calendar — through a guided checklist that takes under an hour. There's no code. No server. No hosting. If you can use Facebook, you can set up METBooker. And if you get stuck, free assisted onboarding walks you through every step on a call.
METBooker generates revenue for you — it doesn't cost you money. At a £30 deposit per booking and 10 bookings a week, it collects £300 per week in confirmed, protected income that would otherwise be unconfirmed phone agreements. The platform cost is a fraction of one recovered no-show. And there's no server to pay for, no infrastructure overhead. Every penny of the monthly fee goes directly into the product.
METBooker vs generic booking tools
Generic booking systems are excellent tools for booking a meeting or a yoga class. They were not designed for a workshop that needs vehicle data, deposit protection, and VAT invoicing.
