Sound familiar?

A paper diary, a personal WhatsApp, and a phone that won't stop ringing.

Bookings live in a book. Reminders get typed with one thumb at 7pm. No-shows eat the morning, and every “is my car ready?” call pulls someone off a job. MekanykSync moves all of it onto one screen — and sends the messages for you.

Fill the diary without answering the phone

Customers book themselves through your booking page or the app. Walk-ins and phone bookings? Your team captures them in seconds from the dashboard. Everything lands on one schedule — nothing gets missed or double-booked.

Stop typing the same messages every day

The moment a booking lands, the customer gets a WhatsApp confirmation. A reminder follows 24 hours before. When you mark the car ready, they’re told to come fetch it. Their replies land in your dashboard inbox — not on your personal phone.

WhatsApp, handled

The follow-up does itself.

Confirmations, reminders and “car's ready” messages go out through MekanykSync's verified WhatsApp number — every message mentions your workshop by name. You don't need a WhatsApp Business account, a new number or Meta verification. It just works, from day one, on the Free plan.

  • Booking confirmed — sent the moment a slot is taken
  • Reminder, 24 hours before — fewer no-shows without anyone lifting a finger
  • "Your car is ready" — sent the second you mark the job done
  • Two-way inbox — your team answers from the desk, not from someone’s personal phone

Mekanyk AI

Walk in, glance up, know everything.

The dashboard reads your day for you: who's booked, who's in a bay, who's waiting, and which cars are ready to go home. Mekanyk AI drafts your service descriptions during setup — and in the customer app, it helps your customers describe the problem and pick the right service before they book. You stay in control. Nothing goes out without your nod.

Ready for collection
3 cars ready — their owners have already been told on WhatsApp.
Walk-in pressure
2 walk-ins waiting — the oldest has been here 14 minutes.
Service backlog
5 of your regulars’ vehicles look overdue for a service.

My Polo makes a grinding noise when I brake.
Grinding when braking usually means worn brake pads — worth getting checked soon. AutoCare offers Brake pads (front) from R1,200. That looks like the right service for this.

Customer app

Your workshop, in your customers' pockets.

Customers see your workshop — your logo, your services, your gallery. They book a service, manage their vehicles and get help from Mekanyk AI, all in one clean app.

  • Your stage, not a marketplace
    Your logo, services and gallery. No competitors next door, nobody bidding for your customers — it’s your space inside the app.
  • Book in two taps
    Customers pick a service, pick a slot, done. Their vehicles are already on file.
  • Mekanyk AI on hand
    Helps customers describe the problem in plain language and pick the right service before they book. Fewer “it’s making a noise” bookings.
  • Service history that follows the car
    Every visit recorded against the vehicle — so customers trust the work, and they come back.

Turn quiet weeks into booked ones.

Your past customers are your cheapest marketing. Pro puts them to work — legally.

  • Win-back campaigns
    Customers who’ve gone quiet for 90+ days get a friendly WhatsApp nudge. You approve the list; we do the chasing.
  • Broadcasts
    Service specials and announcements to exactly the right customers, with safety rails so nobody gets spammed.
  • POPIA built in
    Since April 2025, marketing messages legally require recorded opt-in consent — a personal-WhatsApp blast doesn’t have it. MekanykSync captures and records consent automatically, so every campaign you send is compliant.
Win-back campaign
Consent on record
Hi Sipho, it’s been a while since your last service at AutoCare. Your Polo is probably due for a check-up — book a slot and we’ll have you back on the road the same day.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can’t find what you need? Email us.

Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?

No — that’s the point. All messages go through MekanykSync’s verified WhatsApp number and mention your workshop by name. No Meta verification, no new SIM, no monthly WhatsApp fees. Replies land in your dashboard inbox.

What happens when I hit 15 bookings on the Free plan?

Your bookings are never blocked — booking 16 goes into the diary like any other. The automatic WhatsApp messages pause until next month (or until you upgrade). If you’re passing 15 a month, your shop is growing — Growth gives you unlimited for R449.

How long does setup really take?

About 5 minutes. Sign in with Google, pick your workshop type, add your location, phone and services — we suggest a starter service list so you mostly tick boxes. Then share your booking link.

My customers won’t download an app.

They don’t have to. Your booking link opens in any browser — put it on your WhatsApp status, Facebook page or a counter QR code. And walk-ins or phone bookings take seconds to capture from the dashboard.

Can my staff use it too?

Yes. Free includes one login. Growth adds up to five technicians plus a manager role; Pro is unlimited. Each person gets their own login, and you can see who did what.

Does it work for company fleets?

Yes — fleet accounts are on Growth and Pro. Set up a company, book whole batches of vehicles at once, put services on recurring schedules, and get warned before vehicle documents expire.

Is it legal to send my customers marketing on WhatsApp?

Only with recorded opt-in consent — POPIA’s 2025 rules made that explicit. Blasting from a personal WhatsApp doesn’t qualify. MekanykSync captures and records consent automatically, so broadcasts and win-back campaigns on Pro are compliant out of the box.

Is my customers’ data safe?

Yes. Consent is recorded, marketing respects opt-outs automatically, and you can delete a customer’s record any time they ask — POPIA-compliant by default.

Can I cancel or change plans anytime?

Yes. Plans are month-to-month, there are no contracts, and downgrades take effect at the end of your billing period. Your data stays yours.

What does it cost my customers?

Nothing, ever. The app and booking are free for car owners — no booking fees, no markups.
