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

Why SMS beats waiting for them to come back
Email gets ignored. Phone calls interrupt. SMS gets read and remembered.

What Remindlo users say
“Easy to install and setup new campaigns for small and medium businesses. Free up to 10 SMS per month so you can try without worrying about the bill.”
“I run a small biz and that plugin saves me a ton of time. Works in the background, since I also enabled the auto-sync option. No extra work for me, events with phone numbers are picked up automatically for the reminders; I'm already busy with other stuff so that's good. Using two out of three default workflows - per-visit reminders and post-visit thank you notes to collect reviews.”
