Somebody's car just died ten minutes from your shop. They're about to call somebody else.
You're not worse than the chain up the road. They pulled out their phone, typed "mechanic near me", and your shop didn't come up. That's the whole problem, and we can fix it. You keep fixing cars. We do the Google side, the ads, the website, all the stuff you don't have the time or the interest for.
The customer you never knew you lost
A car won't start in a driveway ten minutes from you.
The guy has to be at work by nine. Dead battery, bad alternator, he doesn't know which. A tow truck is coming, and the driver is going to ask where he wants it dropped. He's never heard of your shop, so he grabs his phone, and most people stick with the first mechanic that treats them right.
There's nobody to ask that early. He Googles it.
Twenty years ago his neighbour would have told him about you. That still happens. It's just that now people check Google before they call anyone, and Google only shows the shops whose listing somebody is actually keeping up.
Three results come up. You're not one of them.
Three franchises. They don't do better work than you. They've got somebody at head office keeping the hours and photos current and answering every review, and nobody has touched your listing since 2019.
The chain quotes him $180 more than you would have.
He pays it. A guy with a dead car and a shift starting in an hour doesn't shop around. Whoever shows up first gets the job, and usually the next six years of that customer's repairs.
You open the bays. Nothing feels wrong.
There's no missed call, no lost work order, nothing on paper to show it happened. It just looks like a slow Tuesday, and you put it down to the economy.
What one lost customer costs
That wasn't a $340 job.
That was a customer.
Now multiply that by every morning the chains show up and you don't. Slide these to match your shop and watch the number below.
Lose 15 of those a year and, over the years they'd have kept coming back, that's about this much walking out:
That's not one year's loss. It's what those fifteen would have spent over the years they stayed, and next year's fifteen stack on top. On the audit call we run it again with your real invoice average and how many people around you actually search for a mechanic, so you can see where every part of the number comes from.
The inspection
Put your shop
on the hoist.
Six questions, about a minute, and you don't sign up for anything. Be honest. Every box you tick lights up a fault on the truck.
The work order
What we actually do
for the money.
Most shops we work with are run by a guy who's great with cars and hasn't touched his Google page in years. He doesn't want to, and he doesn't have the time or the know-how for it. That part is our job.
One we can point to
Peel Automotive,
Brampton.
A small shop on Strathearn Avenue. Proper diagnostic equipment, technicians who know electrical work, more than twelve years in the trade. When we met them the bays were quiet, and online the shop basically didn't exist.
- Where
- Brampton, ON
- Trade
- Electrical & engine diagnostics
- Before
- Quiet bays
- Now
- Busy again
No real Google presence, nothing that told a stranger this was a place worth calling. Good work going unnoticed. So we did the full setup. Listing rebuilt and verified, photos of the actual shop, reviews answered, a proper website, the review routine at the counter. Then the Google work around Brampton and Mississauga.
Today the shop is running the way it did in its best years, and the owner still hasn't had to touch any of the online side himself.
We name a shop here only when the owner is fine with it. On the audit call, ask about Peel and we'll show you their three numbers, before and after, and walk you through what was done month by month. We also work with shops in Mississauga, around the rest of the GTA, and in the US, one shop per area. If the shop across town calls first, we work for them.
Say it. We've heard it.
You've been burned
by a marketing guy.
"The last guy locked me in for a year and disappeared."
And billed you for a logo refresh on the way out.
We're month to month. Fire us with one phone call. Everything we built stays yours: the website, the domain name, the Google listing, every login.
"I could never tell if any of it worked."
They sent you charts about impressions and reach, and none of it told you whether the phone rang more.
You get three numbers: calls to the shop, people asking for directions, and where you rank when a neighbour searches. Plus a one-page report of what we did and what it made you. If those numbers aren't moving, we tell you first.
"Marketing companies charge a fortune and deliver nothing."
Most do. Which is why most of what we make only shows up if you make more.
Flat $500 a month, then 10% of whatever your revenue goes up past the three months before we started. Month one is setup, so it's just the $500. No setup fee, no fee to cancel. A flat month costs you $500 and nothing else.
"I don't have time to learn a dashboard."
Good, because we don't give you one.
One page a month, and a phone call when something needs your say-so. Nothing to log into.
"My customers come from word of mouth."
They do. That's exactly the point.
When a regular tells a coworker about you, that coworker checks Google before they call. If what they find looks abandoned, your best salesman just got overruled by an old photo.
"I'm not going to start posting on the internet."
You won't have to. That's what you're paying us for.
You don't touch any of it, past the odd photo. We set it up, we run it, you get the calls. You do your part, we do ours.
The first 90 days
This is the order
we do it in.
Fifteen minutes on the phone.
You hang up knowing your numbers.
