A website that books appointments while you're under the hood.
Custom-built sites for auto shops, mechanics, and service centers. Real-time service menus, online booking, AI chatbot answering 'are you open?' 24/7 — and a job tracker that doubles as a customer-facing status page.
The Problem
Why auto shops are losing leads online.
You're losing calls to faster shops
Local searches like "oil change near me" and "[city] mechanic" go to whoever shows up first AND looks legit. If your site loads slow or feels dated, you're invisible.
Phones ringing for basic questions
Hours, services, prices, walk-in availability — your team answers the same 10 questions all day. An AI chatbot answers them instantly, 24/7.
Service menu is out of date
You added new services last year. Your website still shows 2019 pricing. Customers see the gap and lose trust.
No way to book online
Customers expect to schedule appointments at 11pm from their phone. If they have to call you Monday morning, half forget.
What we build
Built specifically for auto shops.
Not a template. Every site is configured around how your business actually wins customers.
Online appointment booking
Integrated calendar so customers schedule oil changes, inspections, and repairs directly from your site — synced with your shop calendar.
Editable service menu + pricing
Update services, prices, and hours yourself with Sanity CMS. No calling us to change "$49 oil change" to "$59".
AI chatbot trained on your shop
Answers "are you open?", "do you do brakes?", "how much for X?", "where are you?" — 24/7, even at midnight.
Customer-facing job tracker
Optional add-on: customer types in their work order # and sees real-time status — "in diagnosis", "parts ordered", "ready for pickup". Cuts callbacks in half.
Google Business Profile cleanup
We optimize your Google listing for "near me" searches — the single highest-impact thing for local auto traffic.
Local SEO + AEO foundation
Built to rank in "[city] mechanic", "auto repair near me", and AI search results from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews.

Auto shops FAQ
Common questions from auto shops.
How long does it take to build an auto shop website?
Most shops go from audit to launch in 2–4 weeks. The free audit comes back within 48 hours. After that: 1 week for design + copy, 1–2 weeks for build + AI training (we train the chatbot on your service menu, hours, policies), final week for revisions and launch.
Can I edit my service menu and prices myself?
Yes — with the Sanity CMS add-on (+$1,000 one-time), you get a simple editor for changing services, prices, hours, photos, and announcements. No technical knowledge needed. Ideal for shops with frequently changing service offerings.
How does the AI chatbot work for an auto shop?
The chatbot is trained on your shop's specifics — services, prices, hours, location, common questions. When a customer asks "do you do brake jobs?" at 10pm, it answers immediately. When asked something it can't handle (like a specific quote), it captures the customer's info and routes to you.
Will my customers be able to book online?
Yes. We integrate with calendar tools (Calendly, Acuity, or your existing shop management software) so customers can book oil changes, inspections, and routine work directly. Walk-ins and complex repairs still route to a phone call.
Do you do local SEO for auto shops?
Every build includes local SEO foundation: Google Business Profile cleanup, location-specific schema markup, and content optimized for "[city] mechanic" and "auto repair near me" searches. Pro tier includes monthly content + ranking reports.
