A driver needs a repair and looks up local shops on their phone. They check your services, hours and address before they call or plan a drop-off. This is what an auto repair website needs to make that visit clear.
What an auto repair website needs
- Your phone number at the top, as a tap-to-call link on a phone.
- A clear list of the services your shop offers, so a driver can see if you handle their repair.
- Your hours, street address and a map, so a customer can find the shop.
- Whether you take walk-ins, appointments or both, so a driver knows what to do next.
- Your drop-off options, explained plainly. Say when and where a customer can leave the car.
- A simple way to ask about a repair without calling.
- A link to your Google reviews, so a stranger can see what your customers say.
California auto repair shop rules
California auto repair shops are regulated by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). Check with BAR what your shop must show on its site and in its ads, including its registration number.
Three ways to get an auto repair website
- Build it yourself on a site builder. It is cheap, but you do the work and the upkeep, and it is easy to leave out the hours or the address.
- Hire a web design agency. You get a custom site. Ask what it costs every month, who owns the domain, and who makes the edits.
- SnappLocal. A free hosted website for your trade, with a contact form, leads inbox and owner login. Chat, Reviews, Phone (with booking) and Site Care are optional paid add-ons; Complete includes Site Care.
What happens when you are under a car
You cannot always answer the phone while you are under a car. If the call goes to voicemail, the driver may try the next shop. SnappLocal offers AI Phone as an optional paid add-on to answer calls, gather job details and book jobs on your calendar.
Call the demo line and talk to it the way one of your customers would.
