Where the work comes from

How referrals flow for an MOT and servicing garage

Your best referrals rarely come from cold marketing. Instead, they come from people who regularly talk to local drivers and businesses running vans. That’s why vehicle leasing brokers, insurance brokers and driving instructors are strong allies for any MOT and servicing garage.

Inside a Thursday meeting

Members meet every Thursday from 6:30am to 8:30am, before most working days begin. Every week you have at least a minute to present your business. Between meetings, members book 1-2-1s to learn who makes a good referral, and we have a strong social side too – summer BBQs, Halloween events and charity challenges.
