Garages and mechanics: most folk find you on the map.
Toflin builds websites, runs social media and sets up Google reviews for independent garages, mobile mechanics and MOT centres across Lanarkshire.
How customers pick mechanics and garages
When a car breaks down or an MOT’s due, people open Google Maps and look at the three garages nearest them with the best reviews. That’s most of the decision made.
So your Google profile is everything: the right categories, correct hours, photos of your workshop and staff, and a steady flow of reviews. A simple website backs it up with prices, services and how to book.
What your website and Google profile need
- Services listed clearly: MOT, servicing, diagnostics, tyres, clutches
- Your opening hours, kept up to date
- Prices for standard jobs, if you can
- How to book
- Reviews, lots of them
What to post
- What you found on a car this week
- Seasonal checks: winter tyres, batteries, air con
- Your team and the workshop
- MOT reminders
Or send me the photos and I’ll do it. That’s what the social media plans are for.
What I do for businesses
Straight answers.
Is the Google profile more important than a website for a garage?
For most garages, yes. But a website helps your profile rank and gives customers prices and booking info.
How many reviews do garages need?
There’s no set number, but garages near you probably have plenty. Ask every customer and you’ll catch up.
Can you help a mobile mechanic?
Yes. Your Google profile works a bit differently with no workshop to visit. I’ll set it up as a service area business.
Do you charge per lead or take a cut of my jobs?
No. No lead fees and no commission. You pay a set price, and every price is published on the pricing page.
Want your phone ringing more?
Have a look at the prices, or give me a ring. I’m Tony, and I answer the phone myself.
