Why did we create Umoto?

Using technology for good

Vehicle owners need more support

Owning and running a vehicle is a serious business. And a challenge.

It’s easy to forget an MOT or road tax renewal. It’s easy to lose the service history. It’s understandable that owners don’t know what maintenance their vehicle needs. But technology can fix that. We can help them drive safely.

Umoto makes life easier for everyone

Independent garages can make it easier for their customers. And more profitable for them.

We make it easy for your customers to book work and communicate with you, their recommended garage.

We can help you grow your customer base, sell more services to your customers, and keep them coming back.
