[ CASE STUDY · 2024 ]AlphaMot · MOT & service centre

A 3-bay MOT centre turned into a faster booking and local SEO engine.

We rebuilt AlphaMot as a calm, modern booking site for a busy 3-bay MOT centre in Colchester — local SEO foundations, faster pages and a booking flow customers actually finish.

[ THE CHALLENGE ]

Where AlphaMot started.

A legacy brochure site, paper diaries and zero digital visibility against national chains. Customers phoned for quotes instead of booking, and the team couldn't see the day ahead.

[ THE SOLUTION ]

What we built.

A Next.js storefront with DVLA reg lookup, instant quoting on 40,000+ SKUs, and a branch-aware calendar. A quiet, confident brand system — black, bone, signal yellow — carries through signage, invoices and the website.

[ HIGHLIGHTS ]

The pieces that made the difference.

01

Search-by-reg, instant quote

DVLA integration auto-fills vehicle data, then ranks 8 tyres in order of value, longevity and noise — built on typed fitment data.

02

Calendar-first booking

The fitting bay is modelled as a real resource. Slots respect technician availability, wheel alignment machines and MOT lanes.

03

Brand for a quiet premium

Typographic identity, restrained colour, confident signage system. Feels like a specialist, not a warehouse.

[ OUTCOMES ]

Results we shipped — measured, not implied.

  • Online bookings now account for 62% of fitting revenue
  • Phone-quote time dropped from 4 minutes to near-zero
  • Ranked #1 in Colchester for 'tyres near me' within 4 months

[ CLIENT WORDS ]
The phones have gone quieter, the bays are fuller. The team knows what's coming in, and customers clearly love it. Best thing we've ever done for the business.
