Website design for auto repair shops, dealerships and automotive loyalty agencies

An auto repair shop website should let customers book maintenance or a tire change without calling, show services, hours and address, and remind customers when their next service is due. For a dealership, the online inventory has to be current, with advertised prices that follow Quebec consumer protection rules.

Why does a garage need online booking?

Because customers call when the shop is closed, or when the front counter is swamped. A form that asks for the vehicle, the approximate mileage and the type of work fills the schedule in the evening and on weekends, with nobody on the phone. The mechanic starts the day with a clear list. Winter tire season is the best example: everyone wants a spot the same week and the phone rings nonstop. A calendar with time slots set aside for tire changes, plus a reminder sent a few days before, cuts down on no-shows. Tire storage can be booked in the same place.

How does a garage or dealership bring customers back?

With reminders done right. The customer forgot when the last oil change was, doesn't know a manufacturer recall affects their model, and only thinks about tires at the first snowfall. Automotive loyalty and follow-up agencies make their living on this: an email or a text at the right time, with a direct link to booking. In Canada, the Anti-Spam Legislation covers these messages. You need consent, the sender has to be identified and every message offers a way to unsubscribe. The website is the landing spot: the customer clicks, picks a time slot and confirms. Without that page, the reminder turns into a phone call to the counter.

What should a dealership's online inventory show?

Vehicles that are actually available, with several photos, mileage, year, options and price. A stale listing for a car that's already sold costs trust on the first call. In Quebec, the Consumer Protection Act requires the advertised price of a vehicle to include all fees except GST and QST, so no freight or preparation charges tucked into the fine print. Ideally, the inventory connects to the dealership's system and updates itself. Each vehicle gets its own address, which lets Google show it when someone searches for that model in their area. A test drive button and a financing request round out the listing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions: Automotive

Can the website connect to my shop management software?
Often, yes, when the software allows appointments or inventory to be exchanged. Otherwise, the site emails each request to the front counter with all the vehicle details. We check what your software allows at the scoping meeting.
How do I show up on Google when someone searches for a garage near them?
Your Google Business Profile matters a lot: exact address, hours, photos and reviews. The website backs it up with a page per service, like brakes, alignment or tire changes, and the city stated clearly. Name, address and phone number must match everywhere.
Can I send winter tire reminders by text message?
Yes, to customers who have consented. Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation requires consent, sender identification and an easy way to unsubscribe in every message. The text links straight to the booking page.
Do the garages and agencies shown here exist?
No. Garage Bélair Mécanique, Rétroviseur, Boucle, Virage, Kilomètre Zéro and Groupe Allégeance are demo sites with made-up brands. They show possible approaches for a garage, a dealership or a loyalty agency.
How much does a site like these cost, and how long does it take to go live?
The price is set after a no-commitment scoping meeting, based on the number of pages, the languages, the copy to write and features like booking or an online store. A simple showcase site goes live quickly; an online store or a client portal takes longer. If you have a fixed date, we build the schedule around it.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain name is registered in your name, the copy, images and analytics are yours, and the code is handed over on request.
