When someone searches “auto repair near me,” do they find you — or the shop down the street?
Most independent shops and small dealers we talk to have the same problem: great work, loyal customers, and a website (if there is one) that’s invisible on Google. Meanwhile the chains and the shop with better reviews are taking the calls — and the car count — that should be yours.
That’s a fixable problem. It’s the only kind we work on.
Who we work with
Built for the auto trade — and only the auto trade.
We’re not a generalist agency that also does restaurants and realtors. We work with:
🔧 Independent repair shops
General repair, transmission, brakes, diagnostics — shops that live on car count and reviews.
🚗 Small & independent dealers
Used-car lots and small dealerships that want their own brand, leads and repeat buyers — not just marketplace listings.
🛞 Tire & specialty shops
Tire centers, alignment, performance, body shops — high-intent local searches you should be winning.
✨ Detailers & mobile services
Detailing, tint, mobile mechanics — visual trades where before-and-afters sell the job.
What we do
Everything your shop needs to grow — under one roof.
No juggling a web guy, an SEO person and a kid doing your Instagram. One team, one plan, one number to call.
Shop Websites
Fast, mobile-first sites built to book jobs — online scheduling, click-to-call, service pages that rank, reviews up front. ADA-aware as standard. From $3,500.
Local SEO & Google Maps
Own “auto repair near me” in your area. Google Business Profile, reviews engine, local content — the map pack is where the calls come from. From $1,000/mo.
Reviews, Social & Content
A steady reviews engine, plus the content that sells your work — before-and-afters, “just arrived” inventory, straight answers to the questions drivers Google.
Growth Partner
The whole engine — website, SEO, reviews, content and ads — run for you, with plain-English monthly reporting tied to car count and leads. From $2,500/mo.
Your investment, your return
Your website should pay for itself.
What’s one more car a day worth to your shop? One more unit a month off your lot? There’s no national “website grant” in the US — so we focus on something better: return. Clear, upfront pricing, and marketing measured in booked jobs and sold cars, not likes.
How it works
Simple, start to finish.
1 — Free video audit
We record a short video walking through your shop’s visibility: where you rank, what’s costing you customers, and your top 3 fixes. A real person, your actual shop — not a generic PDF.
2 — The plan
We agree what’s worth doing first and what it’ll cost — clear and upfront, no surprise add-ons.
3 — Build & grow
We get to work — website, search, reviews, content — and keep you in the loop the whole way.
4 — Report & improve
Every month you see what’s moving: calls, bookings, leads. We grow it from there.
Why shops choose us
Specialists, not generalists.
We only do auto.
We know how drivers search, what makes a shop website convert, and why reviews decide who gets the call. You’re not training us on your industry.
We build it and rank it.
Most agencies do one or the other. We design the site, get it ranking, and run the reviews and content — so nothing falls between the cracks.
Honest timelines.
SEO takes months, not days — anyone promising page one next week is selling smoke. We show real progress every month, in plain English.
Results you can count.
Calls, booked jobs, leads. If it’s not working, we tell you and fix it. That’s the whole deal.
Results
Real shops. Real growth.
