Marketing for Auto Dealers & Repair,
Found When the Check-Engine Light Comes On.
A driver with a warning light, a fleet manager with a truck down, a buyer looking for a used pickup under budget — all three start with a search. We already run marketing for a fleet-repair shop in the South Sound, and this page is what we'd build for your dealership or shop.
The Problem
What usually goes wrong
The patterns we see most often in auto dealers & repair shops marketing. If one of these is yours, the fix is below.
Inventory lives on a third-party marketplace and the dealership's own site is an afterthought Google ignores.
The service desk is busy with the customer at the counter, so the caller with the broken-down truck goes to voicemail.
The Google listing has the wrong hours, no service list and reviews that were never answered.
“Diesel repair near me” and “used trucks Kent WA” go to chains and aggregators instead of the local shop.
What We'd Build
The System for Auto Dealers & Repair Shops
Website, local SEO, Google Business Profile and an AI phone desk — one system, built from what you actually offer.
A site built around services and inventory
A page per repair service and vehicle type you actually handle, inventory that reads on a phone, and a request form that reaches the service desk instantly.
Local SEO for repair and buyer searches
“Brake repair near me,” “fleet service Puyallup,” “used SUV Auburn WA” — we research your metro's terms and build the pages and content that match them.
Google Business Profile, worked weekly
Correct categories, full service list, bay and lot photos, posts and Q&A — plus review requests after every completed repair or sale.
A 24/7 AI service desk
An AI desk that answers every call 24/7 in English or Spanish, qualifies the caller, books the appointment, and texts you a summary. Texts only go to people who called or asked — never cold.
Estimate follow-up that closes open quotes
An estimate you already wrote gets a nudge on day 2, 5 and 10 — only to the customer who asked for it — so approved work stops sitting in the pile.
A monthly report you can read
Calls, service requests, rankings and reviews from Search Console and your phone logs — the numbers behind the bays.
The Target
What “good” looks like
Markets differ, so we don't promise a number. This is what the system should look like once it's running.
Every service has its own page
A search for a specific repair or vehicle lands on a page about exactly that.
The service phone is always answered
The after-hours caller gets qualified, booked and confirmed — and you get the summary.
Reviews are asked for and answered
Every completed job triggers a request; every review gets a drafted reply.
Open estimates get decided
Customers who asked for a quote hear from you again, at the right cadence.
Free Tool
What is page 1 worth in your metro?
Plug in your monthly searches, click share, close rate and average job value. It's an estimate with editable assumptions — not a promise — but it tells you whether SEO is worth a call.

FAQ
Questions Auto Dealers & Repair Shops Ask Us
Do you work with dealerships or repair shops?
Both. We've built for an independent used-vehicle dealer and we run ongoing marketing for a heavy-truck and fleet-repair shop. We don't publish their numbers here, but we'll show you the work on a call.
Can the AI desk book service appointments?
Yes. It answers, asks about the vehicle and symptom, checks the rules you give it, books the slot or a callback, and texts you a summary — in English or Spanish.
Can you list our inventory on the site?
Yes. We build inventory pages that read well on a phone and are written so Google can index each vehicle. If you already use a marketplace feed, we can work from it.
Do estimate follow-ups violate texting rules?
No. A follow-up goes only to a customer who requested the estimate. We never text anyone who didn't call, ask or opt in — that's Washington law and our rule everywhere.
What does it cost to start?
The $997 Launch Sprint puts a professional site live in about a week. Local SEO starts at $297 a month, the AI desk at $997 a month, estimate follow-up at $197 a month, and the $97 a month Care Plan keeps the site hosted and updated.
