HOW IT WORKS
How Scheduling Works in Mechanics
Four steps from customer booking to tech working the bay. No phone calls. No missed appointments. No double-bookings.
Customers Book Online
Customers see your available bays and technicians on a shared calendar. They pick their time. No phone tag.
Bays Auto-Assign
Mechanics assigns the job to an open bay. No double-booking. No overcommitting. The customer sees their confirmation instantly.
Techs Get Notified
Your technicians see the schedule in real time. Who's arriving when. What bay they're in. What service they need.
Reminders Go Out
24 hours before their appointment, customers get an SMS or email reminder. 40-60% fewer no-shows.

Phone-Only Scheduling vs Mechanics
Every shop still has a phone. But relying on it for scheduling costs you money in no-shows, missed calls, and staff time.

| Customer books appointment | Customer calls, waits on hold, tech answers | Customer books online in 60 seconds |
| No-show rate | 25-35% (no reminder) | 5-15% (SMS/email 24hrs before) |
| Scheduling conflicts | Happens regularly (double-booked bays, over-scheduled techs) | Never (Mechanics prevents overbooking) |
| Customer has your hours? | Calls to ask | Sees it online |
| Tech knows the schedule | Checks paper board or asks office | Synced to their phone in real time |
| Rescheduling a customer | Find new time, call them back, hope they answer | Suggest new slots, they book themselves |
| Time spent scheduling per week | 4-6 hours (phones, coordination, confirmations) | 1-1.5 hours (bulk reminders, cancellations) |
