Services breakdown
Local search and Google Maps
Most people don't type your garage's name into Google, they search "MOT near me" or "car not starting" and pick from whoever shows up first with the best reviews. We get your Google Business Profile working properly, your categories and service list accurate, and your Maps listing doing the job of a shop window that's open 24 hours a day.
Service-specific pages
A cambelt replacement, a clutch job, a diagnostic fault code, an EV or hybrid service, these are all separate searches with separate customers, and most garage websites bury them all under one vague "services" page. We build pages for each one so you show up for the exact job someone's car needs, not just the general word "mechanic".
Google Ads
For garages that want to fill specific gaps, whether that's quiet weekday bays, underused diagnostic equipment, or capacity for jobs main dealers won't touch on older cars, paid search gets you in front of people searching that exact job on the day they need it. We build around your actual bay capacity, not a generic budget.
Review generation
Most garages have hundreds of happy customers and a review count that doesn't reflect it. We put a simple, consistent system in place that asks satisfied customers to leave a review at the right moment, so your profile grows steadily instead of sitting stuck at the same twenty reviews from three years ago.
Website and technical SEO
A fast, mobile-friendly site that makes it easy to book an MOT or request a quote, built to rank for the searches that actually bring in work rather than just looking presentable.

Why this matters more than most independent garages think
The car servicing market has quietly split in two. Franchise dealers hold onto newer cars through the warranty period with servicing plans built into the finance deal, and franchise fast-fit chains like Kwik Fit, Halfords Autocentre and ATS Euromaster spend marketing budgets independents can't match on generic searches like "MOT near me" and "car service". Somewhere in the middle is the customer independents should be winning every time: the driver whose car has just come out of warranty and is actively looking for somewhere local, trustworthy and cheaper than the dealer to take it to instead. That switch happens at a specific moment, and if a garage isn't visible when it happens, that customer goes to whoever is.
The trust problem compounds it. Every driver has a story, real or heard secondhand, about a mechanic who found work that didn't need doing or quoted for parts that weren't fitted. That reputation doesn't attach to your garage specifically, but it means every new customer starts from a position of doubt rather than confidence, and the garages that win are the ones who've made their reviews and reputation visible before the first phone call rather than relying on the conversation in the workshop to win someone over.

Frequently asked questions
Regulars are what keep a garage running, but they don't last forever. People move away, sell up, switch to electric and go elsewhere for servicing, or simply stop needing a car. If new customers aren't replacing the ones you naturally lose each year, the diary gradually thins out without anyone noticing until it's a problem.
Facebook reaches people scrolling, not people whose car has actually broken down or is due an MOT. We focus on search, where someone has already decided they need a garage and is choosing which one to call. That's a completely different intent, and it's why it converts to bookings rather than likes.
Yes. MOT searches are some of the highest-intent traffic there is, because there's a legal deadline behind them. We build and target MOT-specific pages and campaigns separately from general servicing so you can see exactly how many bookings come from that specific demand.
Not at all, we simply focus on the services you do offer and make sure those are what you're found for. If you do invest in EV capability later, that becomes a genuinely valuable angle to add, since fewer independents currently offer it.
We build a simple process, usually a well-timed text or email after a job's completed, that makes it easy for a happy customer to leave a review in under a minute. It's not a hard sell, it's just removing the friction that stops people who are already satisfied from bothering.
Compete on the thing they can't offer, which is a mechanic who knows the customer's car and doesn't work off a franchise script. We make sure that comes through clearly in your online presence and reviews, so drivers see the difference before they've compared prices.
Yes, and it's often an underused advantage. Drivers with older or higher-mileage cars are actively searching for garages who'll still work on them properly, and we can build content and campaigns that speak directly to that.
No. We'd rather earn the right to keep working with you every month than lock you into something that protects us more than it protects you.
Google Business Profile and review improvements can start showing results within a few weeks. SEO for competitive terms like "MOT" or "car service" in a populated area typically takes a few months to build real momentum, and Google Ads can bring bookings in from day one if you want to move faster whilst the rest builds.
Yes, though it's worth treating as a separate strand of work, since someone searching to buy a used car and someone searching for a same-day MOT are in completely different mindsets and need to be targeted differently.
Enquiry quality is something we actively manage, not just enquiry volume. If a particular campaign or page is bringing in low-quality leads, we adjust the targeting rather than just declaring success because the phone rang.
Bookings, calls, and enquiries traceable to the work we've done, in plain terms. Not impressions, not reach, not a PDF full of graphs that don't tell you whether it's worth the money.
