SMS Messages have a character limit in place to ensure only 1 SMS credit is used per message. After editing the message, if the text is too long you will notice it gets cut off the end automatically. Also the section where you can add your garage name is limited, this is supposed to be your mobile number, so if you can fit your garage name that's ok, if not, there is nothing we can do to help apart from suggesting that you abbreviate it somehow.
