SMS Reminders for Tyre Shops
and Fitting Centers
More repeat customers and fewer lost to price shoppers - automatic SMS reminders bring drivers back when their tyres are due for a check or replacement. Remindlo works on top of the diary or shop system you already use, with no spreadsheets.
No credit card required. Set up in under 5 minutes.
Customers forget you between tyre changes
Tyres are a "fit and forget" purchase. When customers need new ones 2-3 years later, they just search for the cheapest quote.
Lost to price shoppers
Without a relationship, customers just search online for the cheapest quote. Your service means nothing.
MOT surprise failures
Customers fail MOT on tyres and go to whoever can fit them fastest. You never get the chance.
No return trigger
Unlike servicing, there's no built-in reason for customers to come back. They only think about tyres when something's wrong.
Customers don't know what they don't know
Stay in their pocket. Be their tyre expert.
A simple reminder positions you as their trusted expert, not just another tyre fitter competing on price.
Remind them before they need to search
