Booking platform goes commission-free until 2022

Recently launched booking platform GaragesNear.me is waiving its 10% commission fee until at least the beginning of 2022, making it free to use for garages for the foreseeable future.

A spokesman for the platform observed: “GaragesNear.Me is enjoying continued rapid growth month-on-month, with a network of over 270 leading trusted garages throughout the UK. Its core goal is to provide online, real-time manufacturer data driven service and repair pricing to motorists.

“The platform uses its own pricing engine, generating accurate job quotes in real-time, based on vehicle-specific parts requirements and repair times, as well as garages’ own labour times and discounts. There are no listing fees for garages up front.”

“Garages that have joined GaragesNear.me can receive service and maintenance bookings quickly and easily, with no hassle or extra admin work, enabling them to focus on their business.”
