Garage Companion Kit

Garage Companion Kit adds the functional, content-related features a garage, MOT centre or tyre-fitter website needs, kept in a plugin so they survive switching themes. It provides:

• Services and Reviews custom post types (with price/icon and rating/author fields).
• Forms — MOT/service booking, quote-by-registration, MOT reminder signup, a UK tyre search (by size or registration), and a contact message form. All submissions are emailed to the address set in the Customizer (Garage Settings), or the site admin email if that is blank.
• SEO structured data (JSON-LD) — an AutoRepair/LocalBusiness block with opening hours and an optional aggregate rating, a WebSite search action, and article + breadcrumb data on posts.
• Starter content — an optional, one-click import (Tools → Garage Starter Content) that adds sample services, reviews, posts and key pages.

The plugin renders its forms and content through simple template functions, so a theme can call them where it likes; if the plugin is not active, a compatible theme can fall back to its own defaults.

1. Upload and activate the plugin.
2. (Optional) Go to Tools → Garage Starter Content to import sample content.
3. Set your details under Appearance → Customize → Garage Settings (available when your theme registers that panel).

For reliable form email delivery, use an SMTP plugin such as WP Mail SMTP.
