Online alarm clock for 11:09 am
While you wait for the moment to collect your car from the service centre, set the alarm for 11:09 am and keep an eye on the clock without repeatedly checking it. That leaves a useful stretch before 12:00 pm for gathering the paperwork, checking where the keys will be handed over and allowing for local traffic on the way to the workshop.
Your car collection depends on hearing the alert, so leave this browser session running after setting the time and keep the phone or computer awake. If the browser is closed or the screen is allowed to put the device to sleep, the car pickup alarm will not sound. Check the volume as well, then keep the page available while you finish whatever you are doing nearby.
Heading out late in the morning can mean moving between bright Australian sunshine and a shaded reception area. Before 11:09 am arrives, place sunglasses near your keys and increase the screen brightness enough to read any service message outdoors. If the car has been parked in full sun, having a windscreen shade ready can also make the first few minutes after collection more comfortable.
Common questions
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?
Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
