Auto Service / Repair

This page is for owners in the auto service / repair category who want a website that explains the business, supports leads, and gives the team practical tools for ongoing updates.

This includes 4 supported sub-niches, including Auto Body Collision Repair, Auto Repair Shops Mechanics, Tire Wheel Shops, and Towing Services.

Generic websites usually miss the details that make this kind of business easier to choose. Customers need to understand services, repair proof, specials, reviews, appointment paths, certifications, and shop trust before they are ready to call, book, inquire, visit, or buy.

Owners also need the site to stay current after launch. A site that cannot be updated from the phone, cannot accept new media, or cannot turn quick business updates into drafts becomes stale quickly.

Creative Marketing AI builds the website around the industry model, then gives the owner a practical management surface at `/manage`. The public site gets the page structure customers need, while the owner portal supports updates, media, approvals, FAQs, leads, and ongoing content changes.

For this archetype, the platform can support specials, repair proof, and service categories when those features are in scope. Tara can help turn plain-language updates into drafts for service page, special, repair proof photo set, FAQ, and review request draft. Drafts stay under the publish gate: owner privacy review.

The starting website includes the industry-specific sitemap, core pages, lead or inquiry path, owner-editable content, media library, FAQ structure, launch basics, and managed hosting handoff. The final page plan can also include the recommended page tree, homepage flow, proof sections, and supported niche links for this category.

The owner provides business details, service or offer details, location or service-area information, photos, proof, reviews, credentials, policies, and approval on public copy. If the business has sensitive claims, regulated language, customer images, medical/legal/financial copy, or pricing details, those items need owner or staff review before publishing.

If the business already has a website, the first step is the website analysis at `/audit`. The analysis crawls the current site, identifies useful existing pages, detects the niche, classifies page types, and produces the rebuild quote. Existing-site rebuilds start at $2,500 for the first 5 core pages, then change based on page count, page type, niche, and scope.

If the business does not have a website, the project starts as a new website build. The proposed new-site starting point for this archetype is $3,500, with typical projects in the $3,500-$7,500+ range before custom integrations or advanced features. It costs more than a rebuild because there is no site to crawl, no existing page inventory, no reusable page copy, no redirect map, and usually less organized proof.

Managed Website Care is still required after launch. Current catalog pricing is $99/month or $999/year.

Strong pages in this category need proof the customer can understand quickly: Shop photos, Service bay proof, Before/after repair images, and Reviews, specials, certifications, and appointment trust. When those assets do not exist yet, the content can explain what the owner can provide now and what can be captured later through the owner PWA, Tara drafts, or Creative Studio work.

Paid ads, professional photography, live filming, logo design, complex integrations, custom ecommerce, MLS/dealer feeds, booking/POS/calendar integrations, and ongoing SEO or social work are not included unless separately scoped. Regulated or sensitive industries need review before public claims, testimonials, customer images, pricing, guarantees, or advice-style content goes live.
