When garage owners ask us how to get more work, the answer is usually simpler than expected.
It’s not about being on every platform.
It’s about getting the basics right.
Here are the three things that make the biggest difference.
For local garages, Google Maps is everything.
If your garage:
Doesn’t appear in the top results
Has incomplete information
Has old photos or missing services
You’re losing calls to garages that simply look more visible.
Optimising your Google Business profile can dramatically increase enquiries — even without ads.
Customers trust other drivers more than any advert.
A garage with:
Recent reviews
Good responses
Clear ratings
Will almost always beat a garage with few or outdated reviews — even if the second garage is better.
A simple review strategy can change how customers perceive you overnight.
Your website doesn’t need to be fancy.
It needs to:
Work properly on mobile
Show your phone number clearly
Explain what you do quickly
Build confidence in seconds
If customers have to think too hard, they leave.
Garages don’t lose work because they’re bad at marketing.
They lose work because:
Small online issues go unnoticed
No one ever checks them
Competitors quietly fix theirs
That’s exactly what our Digital NCT is designed to catch.
