Celebrating 10 years of growth

30 April 2026  

The comparison site for MOTs, servicing and repairs, BookMyGarage, is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.

The celebratory year has been marked by the publication of the company’s first annual industry report, where its extensive data set has been combed to provide a wide range of facts and figures, offering insight into pricing trends, seasonal demand and the real return on investment of online bookings.

BookMyGarage was founded by husband-and-wife team Douglas and Karen Rotberg, who still head up the business today. In 2018, the pair expanded the offering into the franchised sector with the launch of SecretService, a strategic solution that has helped franchise dealers win significant market share in the 4-year-old+ vehicle segment. In 2022, 5 million drivers had compared prices to book their servicing, MOT and repairs on its platform and today, that figure has risen to 26 million.

Karen said: “Douglas and I have enjoyed successful careers, but it wasn’t until we combined our skills that BookMyGarage was born, and it is this enterprise of which we are both most proud.  

“We are also extremely proud of our team, with some having been with us literally from the start. We are very much committed to steering the business through the next decade, and as the aftermarket continues to change, we plan to expand our use of data and technology to help garages compete more effectively in an increasingly digital market. Here’s to the next 10 years.”
