For workshops

From "interested" to your
first job, in 5 days.

Here's exactly how it works to join the OGScout network — what we look for, what we'll ask you, and what to expect once you're live.

Who we accept

We're not a directory — every workshop in the network is vetted in person before a single job reaches them, and stays in the network by performing well after that. Vetting means we check your premises, certifications, and prior work ourselves, in person, not from a form. Once you're live, the same performance signals keep mattering: response time, customer ratings, and on-time pickups decide who sees each job first. To be considered, you should have:

  • A registered, licensed workshop in our service zones
  • At least one full year of operating history
  • Proper insurance and trade license documentation
  • A WhatsApp Business account (or willingness to set one up)
  • Capacity to respond to job requests within 30 minutes during your stated hours

If that's you, here's what happens next:

1

Apply (5 minutes)

Send a WhatsApp message to +971 50 OGScout or fill out the form on the contact page. Tell us your workshop name, owner, license number, and what services you offer. If you're approved, you'll typically be live and receiving jobs within the same week.

  • No card required to apply
  • We respond same-day during business hours
2

Phone call (20 minutes)

One of us calls to introduce ourselves and understand your operation — bays, specialties, hours, capacity. We'll answer any questions you have about pricing, payments, and the network.

3

Site visit (45 minutes)

We come to you. We walk the floor, meet your team, and verify the basics: licenses are current, premises match the application, equipment is in working order. We bring coffee.

4

Onboarding (1 hour)

If we're a go, we'll send a workshop guidebook and walk you through the WhatsApp inbox we'll set up. Your team learns how to read job requests, send quotes, and handle confirmations — most teams are comfortable running it themselves by the end of that same hour.

5

Go live

Your zone goes active. Jobs start arriving. Your free trial begins — 14 days, no card required. You only commit to a plan once you've seen the network work.

Once you're live

Each job arrives in your WhatsApp inbox as a short message: customer name, vehicle, issue, location, and a preferred time. Tap to reply with a price and availability — or pass. The customer sees up to three quotes and chooses.

If they pick you, the job is confirmed. The customer's contact details unlock and you coordinate pickup directly. Once the work is complete, the customer rates you and the job closes. There's no extra approval step and no waiting on us — once you're picked, the job is yours to run.

Your reputation, in your hands

Performance is the only thing that affects how often you're routed jobs. Three metrics matter most:

  • Response time — how quickly you reply to job broadcasts
  • Acceptance rate — how often you take a job you've quoted on
  • Customer rating — the 1–5 star score after each job

Do well, and you'll see jobs first. Customers who've used you before will be routed back to you automatically. It's the same response window we check for during vetting — thirty minutes — it doesn't go away once you're live.

Quality & disputes

Every booking is tracked from first quote to job completion, so if something goes wrong, there's a full record to work from.

Tell us and we'll mediate — most disputes come down to a mismatch between the quote and the final bill, or a job that didn't hold up. Workshops with unresolved issues are suspended from the network until they're cleared, so the network stays trustworthy for everyone still in it.

Expanding beyond Ajman

We're live in Ajman today, with Sharjah, Dubai, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, Abu Dhabi, and Fujairah rolling out on a staggered timeline starting Q4 2026. If you run a workshop in one of those emirates and want to be considered as a launch partner, get in touch now — we onboard the first batch of workshops in every new emirate before it goes live there.

Payouts

Customers pay you directly when they pick up the car. There's no platform fee on top of your quoted price — keep 100% of what you charge. We don't touch your money.
