Case Study Overview

In the competitive Manchester auto repair market, our client—a well-established garage offering mechanical repairs and premium car detailing services—was struggling to attract new customers despite their excellent reputation for quality work.

Their outdated website, weak online presence, and lack of digital marketing strategy meant they were losing potential clients to competitors with stronger digital footprints. Many local car owners simply couldn’t find them online when searching for services like “car repair Manchester” or “mobile detailing near me.”

Within six months of implementing our comprehensive digital marketing strategy, we transformed their online visibility, established them as local authorities in auto care, and delivered measurable business growth through targeted campaigns.

Challenges We Faced

When Manchester Auto Care came to us, they were facing several critical challenges that were limiting their growth in Manchester’s competitive auto repair market.

Poor Local Visibility

Their business wasn’t appearing in local searches for key terms like “car repair Manchester” or “mobile detailing near me.” They ranked on page 3+ for most relevant keywords.

Weak Google My Business

Their GMB profile was incomplete with few photos, no posts, and only 7 reviews. They weren’t appearing in the local 3-pack for any important searches.

Outdated Website

Their site loaded in 4+ seconds, had no online booking system, and wasn’t mobile-friendly. The design looked outdated and didn’t inspire trust.

No Social Media Strategy

Their Facebook page had sporadic posts with no engagement strategy. They weren’t showcasing their work through before/after photos of repairs and detailing.

High Competition

Manchester has hundreds of auto repair shops, including national chains with big marketing budgets. Standing out required a strategic approach.

Reliance on Word-of-Mouth

While they had loyal customers, they needed systems to consistently attract new clients to grow the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our auto repair digital marketing services and this case study.

How quickly can we expect to see results for our auto repair shop?

While timelines vary based on your market and competition, most of our auto repair clients begin seeing measurable improvements within 30-60 days. PPC campaigns can generate immediate leads, while SEO typically takes 3-6 months to show significant organic traffic growth. In this Manchester case study, the client saw their first measurable lead increase within 45 days, with substantial growth by month 3.

What makes your approach different from other marketing agencies?

Our approach combines three key differentiators: 1) Specialized auto industry expertise – we understand the unique challenges of repair shops and detailers, 2) Hyper-local focus – we don’t use generic templates but tailor strategies to specific cities and neighborhoods, and 3) Transparent reporting – you’ll see exactly where every lead comes from. This Manchester case study demonstrates how our localized, multi-channel approach outperforms generic marketing solutions.

Do you work with mobile mechanics or just repair shops?

We’ve successfully worked with both physical repair shops and mobile mechanics. The strategies differ slightly – for mobile mechanics we emphasize service area optimization and convenience factors, while for shops we focus more on facility presentation and location-based marketing. In both cases, the core principles of strong local SEO, targeted ads, and conversion optimization apply.

What budget should an auto repair business allocate for digital marketing?

For independent shops in competitive markets like Manchester, we typically recommend starting with £1,000-£2,500/month to see meaningful results. This allows for comprehensive SEO work plus a modest ad budget. Larger shops or franchises may invest £3,000-£7,000/month. We’ll work with you to develop a customized plan that maximizes ROI based on your specific circumstances and goals.

Can you help with both repair services and detailing/car wash services?

Absolutely! In fact, this case study client offered both mechanical repairs and premium detailing services. We created separate marketing strategies for each service line, with distinct messaging, landing pages, and ad campaigns. This approach helped them attract the right customers for each service while maintaining a cohesive brand identity.
