A tyre shop lives by the seasons. As soon as it turns cold or the first snow falls, everyone wants their tyres changed in the same week. The phone rings all day while you’re undoing wheel nuts, and a line of cars without appointments builds up outside. Someone emails about prices for new tyres, someone else asks on Messenger when they can collect their stored wheels.
Out of season it goes quiet, and the time you could spend preparing for the next rush slips away. Who is meant to keep track of whose wheels are on the rack, and who needs a reminder before they drive to the competitor down the road?
For tyre shops without a website
In the Homeearly admin you can create a free website in a few minutes, built from details already in the system. It lives at an address like homeearly.eu/firma/your-business with a design suited to tyre services.
- A price list with durations and prices: seasonal tyre change, puncture repair, wheel balancing, tyre storage, or sale and fitting of new tyres.
- Photos of your premises, a map, contact details and opening hours.
- Terms and conditions and a GDPR notice generated automatically.
- A “Book now” button for a tyre change at a set time, and “Request a quote” for new tyres or unusual repairs.
If you own a domain, you can point it to this page.
For tyre shops that already have a website
Your current site stays exactly as it is. Embed the booking calendar or enquiry form with a single snippet of code, or share the link on your Google Business Profile, on Facebook or in a text message to customers. Homeearly then does the heavy lifting behind the website – in the calendar, on jobs and in invoicing.
What helps in season and out of it
- Availability calendar with capacity: if you have two bays, set it to two customers at once. Customers see green for free, orange for the last few spots and red for fully booked.
- Bulk reminders before the season – by email, text or WhatsApp, with a booking link.
- Day-before reminders, and customers can reschedule or cancel on their own.
- Parts and stock: balance weights, valves and tyres sold are added to the job and show up on the invoice.
- Customer records with vehicles and notes, such as which wheels you’re storing.
- Quotes for new tyres that the customer approves online, turned into a job in one click.
- Invoices with QR payment or card payment, with bank payments matched automatically. More under quotes, invoices and payments.
An example: the first week of the season
Picture it like this: in late October you send your regular customers a bulk reminder with a booking link. Within days the calendar fills up, and the morning queue outside is spread across the whole week instead. Each morning the Today view shows who is coming and which bay they’re booked into.
An enquiry for four new winter tyres arrives by email and the system offers it as an enquiry. You send a quote, the customer approves it and picks a fitting slot straight away. After the change you issue an invoice with a QR code and add a note to the customer’s record that their summer set is stored with you.
To sum up
Fewer calls at peak times, work spread more evenly, fewer no-shows and faster payment. Customers book on their own and come back because you remind them when it’s time to switch. The full picture is on the Homeearly for tyre shops page.
