Helpo takes bookings on your website and over WhatsApp, holds the spot with a deposit, and hands you a confirmed job, ready for the bay. It works with how your shop already runs.
By invitation.We're onboarding a small group of founding shops. Free to set up, free for your first 60 days.
A live assistant for shop owners, ask it anything about Helpo. It's not the customer booking bot, that one's just below. Book a demo.
They book in a few taps, on your website or over WhatsApp. Helpo gathers the details, takes the deposit, and hands you a confirmed job.
The assistant asks what they need, then the make, model and kms, and offers your real available days. A $50 deposit holds the spot.
You confirm every booking yourself, with one tap from your morning summary, and the customer gets a reminder the day before.
Your customers book the moment they think of it, in a few taps, without waiting for you to pick up the phone.
They can book any time, even after hours or when you're under a carand can't get to the phone.
Booking happens on your site or straight from a WhatsApp message, with no app to download.
A $50 deposit holds the spot and comes off the final bill, so far fewer people drift away.
A text reminder lands the day before, and they can reschedule or cancel with a single tap.
Every morning a summary lands by text and email. You call your customers, reply YES to confirm, and write them in your planner. The whole thing takes a few minutes over your coffee, with nothing to log into and nothing to install.
We rebuild your site on your own domain, with a Book Online button. The redesign is yours to keep.
Deposits route to your own Stripe account. We never hold your money.
Every after-hours enquiry becomes a booking instead of a missed call.
A simple dashboard of who's booked, who's confirmed, and what's coming in.
Fair by design
A $50 deposit holds every spot and comes straight off the final bill, so it's the customer's money holding their place, not a fee. You keep $47.50 of each one. If a booking can't be confirmed, the customer is refunded in full, automatically, and you're never out of pocket. We handle the disputes.
The big chains can afford someone answering the phone all day. A good independent shop can't, so calls go to voicemail and some customers just ring the next shop. Helpo answers and books for you, automatically, around the clock.
Calls go to voicemail after hours, the phone's engaged during the day, and some customers quietly book elsewhere.
A receptionist on the phones all day. It works, but it costs real wages every week.
The booking gets taken every time, day or night. You match the franchise and pull ahead of every shop still doing it by hand, without hiring.
A glimpse of where Helpo is heading. We'll share the full roadmap with founding shops.
Nudge happy customers to leave a review, right after the job.
Bring customers back when their next service is due.
Beyond mechanics: detailers, tyre shops, the next local services.
Brand and launch your booking channel in minutes.
We build it and run it free for your first 60 days, no matter what. The monthly fee only starts once it's proven itself.
The fee starts only after the channel has brought you 10 paid bookings, never just because time has passed.
Plus $2.50 per booking, taken from the $50 deposit (so you net $47.50). Month to month, cancel any time.
We're onboarding a small founding group by invitation, online or in person. Book a 15-minute demo and we'll show you your new booking channel, live, branded as your shop.
