You drive to the car, so a customer who forgot or a car that is not there is a trip you cannot get back. A reminder before the visit, and the option of a deposit, keep the day as full as the diary says.
Free to start with your booking page, bookings and clients. Everything else is one paid plan: £9.99/month billed yearly, or £12.99 monthly.

Hi Steve, a reminder about your upcoming booking with Kerbside Mobile Mechanics.
Diagnostic, warning light
Thursday 8 October, 16:00
A £15.00 deposit is taken now by card. The remaining £35.00 is paid on the day.
Pay £15.00 depositIllustrations of the product. Names and amounts are examples.
An email reminder goes out before each booking, with a link to move it inside the notice you set. A customer who needs the car that morning, or has to be out, reschedules in a tap, so a slot that frees up is known in time to fill rather than found at the kerb.

For a job that needs a part ordered or holds a half-day, an optional card deposit means the customer has paid toward the slot, so they are there with the keys or they let you know. It is your choice which jobs ask for one.
