Amber Butler

Turn amber work into booked work on auto pilot.

A simple tool for independent garages to capture and automatically follow up on amber vehicle work.

What this is (and what it isn't)

This is not marketing software.
It's not a CRM.
It's not an MOT reminder product.

Amber Butler exists for one reason only:
to remember future work you've already discussed with the customer, follow up at the right time, and then stop automatically.

The design philosophy is restraint, clarity, and zero admin.

If you're looking for flexibility, customisation, or advanced features, this is not the right tool.

Amber Butler does one thing well:
it remembers amber work, follows it up at the right time, and then stops — automatically.

How it works

1. Capture amber work in seconds

While standing in the workshop, tap the vehicle registration, select the issue type (brakes, tyres, suspension), and choose a timeframe:

  • 1–2 months
  • Around 3 months
  • Before next MOT

That's it.
No notes. No optional fields. No admin.

2. Automatic follow-up at the right time

Amber Butler sends a text message to the customer when the work becomes due.

If there's no reply:

  • a gentle reminder is sent 7 days later
  • a final safety check-in is sent 14 days after that

Then it stops.

No chasing.
No awkward follow-ups.
No diary notes.

3. You're only notified if the customer replies

If the customer replies YES, you're notified.
If they ask a question, you're notified.
If they reply NO or STOP, the item closes cleanly and you're informed.

If there's no response, the system handles everything silently in the background.

4. Responsibility discharged — nothing more to do

After the final message, if there's no reply, the amber item is closed as:

"No response — responsibility discharged."

You've done your duty.
The customer has been reminded.
The system stops.

Why amber work gets forgotten

Your team already knows which customers need follow-ups. The work is identified, the customer has been told, and they've shown interest.

But between workshop schedules, customer calls, and the daily admin, follow-ups get deprioritized—not from neglect, but from sheer workload.

When follow-ups slip, it costs more than revenue. Customers feel forgotten, trust erodes, and they book elsewhere next time.

The gap between identified work and booked work is a systems problem, not a people problem.

What this is (and what it isn't)

What it's NOT

✕ Not a CRM replacement

Amber Butler is completely standalone. No integration needed, no data migration required.

✕ Not marketing software

We're recovering work already identified and discussed with customers who showed interest.

✕ Not another dashboard

Your team doesn't log into a new platform. Amber Butler sends SMS and tracks responses. That's it.

What it IS

✓ A standalone follow-up tool

Amber Butler runs independently to automate SMS follow-ups and track customer responses.

✓ Duty-of-care compliance

Every follow-up is logged and timestamped. Complete audit trail proving you've done your duty.

✓ Revenue recovery, zero effort

Once set up, it runs automatically. No manual reminders, no missed follow-ups, no guilt.

What garage owners say

"It's simple, which is why we use it. No messing about, no extra admin."
