Bolt-On Technology teams with Google to turn searches into shop appointments

Press Release, 7 October 2025

Bolt-On Technology has rolled out a new integration with Google called Reserve with Google for its Retention Pro platform—bringing appointment booking directly into Google Search and Maps. Now, when drivers search for repair or service shops, they can pick a service, choose a time slot, and confirm their appointment with a single tap—no calls or back-and-forth needed.

This upgrade gives auto repair shops several strong advantages. First, it streamlines the customer experience—eliminating delays or missed calls by letting owners book instantly. It also boosts professionalism and trust, thanks to a sleek, mobile-friendly booking interface. Internally, the system can ease the load on staff by cutting down call volume and manual booking work. And for shop visibility, appearing in Google’s booking interface helps capture more customer interest right where people are searching.

According to Bolt-On, shops need to have a verified Google Business Profile and be on its “Shop Success Essentials” or “Premium” plan to use the feature. Brandon Melton, Product Owner at Bolt-On, emphasized that “search is the new front door for auto repair” and that this integration ensures shops are ready to convert interest into confirmed work.

In short: Bolt-On’s move links digital discovery to real bookings, helping repair shops modernize their appointment process and capture more business without extra hassle.
