Servicing Stop, one of the UK’s largest online garage networks, has teamed up with PMM to offer our readers a special discount to help them benefit from a stream of no-obligation service and MOT bookings during quieter periods or when bays are empty.
Currently the firm see upwards of 250,000 unique site visitors on the hunt for servicing and MOT solutions each month, and with 1,500 garages already on board and taking advantage of this effective supply chain, it represents both a safety net and a consistent revenue generator.
To date, Servicing Stop has invested over 12 million pounds in online, radio, print and billboard advertising, alongside software and an IT infrastructure that has enabled it to benefit from the “organic search term” market for customers looking for local, dependable independent garages that can carry out servicing and MOTs. That means that garages within the scheme can cut the cost of their local advertising, which for many represents a considerable cost saving.
As Servicing Stop also deals with all the admin, invoicing and customer contact, garages can concentrate on fulfilling their workload more effectively and, with more free time, they can increase the volume of jobs and thus, profitability.

PMM has teamed up with Servicing Stop to offer new garages registering for the scheme an added bonus. Simply mention ‘PMM’ when enlisting and the sign-up fee of £150 will be waived, offering your garage instant access to a steady stream of local, no-obligation servicing work.
