One plan, no upsells.

When you look up a vehicle, Mekavo stores its MOT expiry date from DVLA records. You can enable automatic reminders in Settings — Mekavo will send your customer a text or email 30 days before their MOT is due, reminding them to book in with you. It's automatic customer retention — they come back to your garage, not the one down the road.

From any job, hit the "Text" button to send your customer an SMS. Choose from ready-made templates ("Vehicle Ready for Collection", "Work Started") or write your own message. SMS credits are pay-as-you-go — buy packs via your Top Up balance. Each text costs around £0.05. Email notifications are included free.

Enter any UK registration and Mekavo instantly fetches the vehicle's full details from DVLA — make, model, engine, colour, tyre sizes, battery info, and complete MOT history with pass/fail results, mileage readings, and advisories. Each lookup costs £0.75 from your Top Up balance. You also get 1 free lookup when you sign up. You can always enter vehicle details manually for free.

Absolutely. Mekavo is built for garages that do MOT testing and repairs. You can look up a vehicle's full MOT history before it arrives, create a repair job from MOT advisories, text the customer when the work is done, and automatically remind them when their next MOT is due. It's the full MOT-to-repair workflow in one app.

Yes, absolutely. No contracts, no cancellation fees. You can cancel from your Subscription page at any time. Your access continues until the end of your billing period, and your data stays available in read-only mode.
