Sound familiar?
The phone rings while you're under a car
Customers pick a free time on your booking page themselves. You confirm the request when you have a minute, or let bookings confirm on their own.
Two cars, one lift
Every job has its own lift or bay. By default LiftSlot never double-books a lift or a mechanic, and it finds the first free slot for you. If customers drop their cars off in the morning, turn on “several cars at the same time” and they line up side by side.
“What did we do on this car last time?”
When a job's done, you note the final price, the mileage and what you did. It stays with the customer and the car, not in a notebook that's gone missing.
How it works
From notebook to schedule in three steps
Set up your hours and lifts
Tell it when you're open and how many lifts or bays you have. Add your services too if you want them, with how long they take and what they cost. Anything else you just describe when you book.
Share your booking link
You get your own booking page. Put the link on your Google profile or Facebook page, or send it to customers in a message.
Confirm requests and get to work
New bookings wait under Requests. Confirm them with one tap, and the whole team sees the day's schedule.
Features
Everything your garage's schedule needs
Schedule by lift
The whole day, lift by lift. On a computer you drag a job to move it. On a phone you get a simple list by hour.
Online booking
A public page with your services, opening hours and free times. You choose: bookings confirm automatically, or they wait for you to confirm.
No double bookings
LiftSlot suggests the first free times and picks a free lift. By default, the same lift or mechanic never gets two jobs at once, unless you allow several cars at the same time.
Morning drop-offs
Customers leave their cars at 8 and you get to them during the day? Allow several cars at the same time and they line up side by side on a lift. For online bookings you can set how many cars a time can take.
Not on your list? Just describe it
Type what needs doing, pick how long it takes and book it. If it's a job you'll do again, save it as a service with one tap.
Customers and cars
Every customer and every car has its history: service, price, mileage and a note on the work done.
Quick search
Type a name, phone number or plate. Spaces, dashes and capital letters don't matter.
Message the customer in one tap
“Your car's ready” or “Your booking's confirmed” is already written. Send it with WhatsApp or SMS, or copy it into Viber.
Book while they're on the phone
Type a name or number and it finds the customer and their car. “Same as last time” picks the same service, so all that's left is the time.
Staff and mechanics
Add your team with a password, or with a PIN for the shared tablet in the workshop, and give jobs to your mechanics.
Phone, tablet and computer
It runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install. On a phone, add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
GDPR: delete on request
If a customer asks, delete their personal data with one button. The job history stays, just without their name and contact details.
Who it's for
Repair shops
Services, brakes, timing belts. Each job on its own lift, with its own duration.
Tyre shops
Short tyre-change slots, even in the busy season when everyone calls the same week.
Auto electricians
Diagnostics with a note on what the customer noticed, written down when they book.
Tuning shops
Longer jobs and dyno runs in the schedule, with the work history of every car.
Who's behind LiftSlot
There's no big company behind LiftSlot, just me: Dominik, a tradesman with my own workshop in Kaštela, Croatia. I use it in my own workshop, so I'm the first to feel every bug.
If something doesn't work or something's missing, get in touch with me directly. I answer personally, and the best ideas for LiftSlot come from people who do the work.

Questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. LiftSlot runs in your browser, like Chrome or Safari, on your phone or computer. On a phone you can add it to your home screen and it opens like an app. There's no app in the app stores.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The schedule, customers, requests and new bookings all work on a phone. There you see the schedule as a list by hour. Dragging jobs around works on a computer.
Do my customers need an account to book?
No. They pick a service, a day and a free time, then leave their name and phone number. No sign-up, no password.
What if two customers want the same time?
Your booking page only offers times that are really free, and requests waiting for your answer hold their place too. Unless you allow several cars at the same time, two jobs can't end up on the same lift at once. If two bookings clash anyway, the second one stays a request and you decide.
Can I book several cars for the same time?
Yes. In Settings, turn on “Allow several cars at the same time”, and cars can share a lift, for example when customers drop them off in the morning. It's off by default. Online bookings stay one car per time unless you allow that too, and then you choose how many cars per lift a time can take.
What if a job isn't in my services?
Just describe it. Type what needs doing, pick how long it takes (or type the exact minutes) and add a price if you like. LiftSlot then asks if you'd like to save it as a service for next time. On your booking page, customers can pick “Something else” and describe the problem.
Can I turn off automatic confirmation?
Yes. In Settings, turn off “Auto-confirm bookings from the public page”. Every online booking then arrives as a request, and you confirm it, move it or turn it down. LiftSlot doesn't message customers by itself, so you get back to them, for example with “Message customer”.
Which languages does it speak?
English and Croatian. Each garage picks its own language: the app, the e-mails we send you and your booking page all follow it, so your customers book in your garage's language.
Who can see my data, and where is it stored?
Only the people you add to your team can see your garage's data, and every garage's data is kept separate in the database. It's stored in the EU, in a database in Frankfurt, Germany. There's more in the privacy policy.
How does the free trial work?
You get 30 days with everything, no card needed. Before it ends, you pick monthly or yearly. If you don't, your data stays safe and you can still look at it and export it. You just can't add new bookings.
What happens if I stop paying?
Your garage becomes read-only. You can still see everything and export your customers, cars and bookings any time, you just can't add or change bookings. If you come back, everything's where you left it. After 12 months read-only the account is deleted, and we e-mail you 30 days before.
Do I get an invoice?
Yes, an invoice for every payment, made out to the company details you enter when you subscribe.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, whenever you like, with no notice period. You keep using it until the end of the period you've paid for, and you can export your customers, cars and bookings before you go.
How do I add my team?
In Settings, under Staff. Add someone straight away with a password or PIN, or send them an invite by e-mail (you can also share the invite link yourself). For a shared tablet in the workshop, turn on PIN sign-in.
