What we found. 2,378 auto repair shop websites checked. 661 of them, 27.8%, were broken.
What a working auto repair site needs
A working auto repair website does not need a fancy animation. It needs four things: the shop's phone number above the fold, the address and hours, the services list with prices if possible, and a way to book an appointment without picking up the phone.
Most of the broken shop sites in our data were missing one or more of those. The most common missing thing was the appointment booking, which is the only one that directly affects revenue.
What it costs
A flat-fee rebuild of a working auto repair site, with the four things above, runs $600 once. After that, the only recurring cost is the domain, around $15 a year.
Questions we get about this
Do I need a blog on my auto repair website?
No. A blog is optional. A working site with the four things above will outrank a fancy site that is missing one of them.
Can I keep my current domain?
Yes. A rebuild uses the same domain. You do not lose your existing Google ranking unless you also change the domain.
How long does a rebuild take?
The site itself is built before we contact you. The whole thing, from first contact to a working site, is 24 hours.
