A website for mechanics: free homepage first, then $990 once
Car trouble is stressful, and people want a mechanic they trust not to rip them off. They search, check you out and ring. A clear website does a lot of that job before the phone rings. I build yours free first.
What mechanic customers look for before they ring
I have built websites for 20 years. For a mechanic, people check the same five things, usually on a phone, usually in a hurry.
- Can you fix my car? The makes you work on, and the jobs you do: servicing, brakes, logbook services, pre-purchase checks.
- Will you come to me? If you are mobile, say so loudly. "We come to you" is a strong selling point.
- Where are you? Your suburbs or your workshop address, plus opening hours.
- Are you fair on price? A line on pricing: quotes before work starts, no surprise add-ons.
- Will my warranty stay valid? If you do logbook servicing, say so. Many people ask about this before booking.
What your mechanic website includes
Five pages: Home, About, Services, Projects and Contact. I write the words for your trade and use your photos. The $990 covers all of this.
- A services page for servicing, brakes, logbook services, pre-purchase checks and what else you do
- Mobile or workshop details front and centre, with your hours and suburbs
- A line on pricing and quotes, in your words
- A suburb list written for Google, so people searching for a mechanic near them find you
- Tap to call and tap to text on every page, plus a quote form
Hosting is free, on your own Cloudflare account. I set up your domain in your name too. You only pay the registrar for the name itself, about $100 to $150 over five years.
A real example
I built a sample mechanic site, Driveway Mechanics, for a made-up mobile mechanic in Melbourne’s west. It shows the "comes to you" message, the servicing list and the tap-to-call layout. Yours gets your name and your suburbs.
What a website costs over five years
The sticker price is not the real price. Add up five years of fees.
| Agency | $3,000 to $10,000 from an agency |
|---|---|
| Rental website | $99 to $299 a month, forever |
| Facebook page only | Free, but you do not own it |
| Simple Websites for Business | $990 once, plus about $100 to $150 domain renewals |
A rental at $99 a month is $5,940 over five years. At $299 it is $17,940. Stop paying and the site goes. Mine stays, because it is yours.
My guarantee
I keep editing until you are happy with the site. Edits for the first 30 days after launch are free. After that, small edits are $60 each, or $290 a year for unlimited small edits. I reply within one business day.
