Auto Repair Marketing: Winning the Cars on Your Street

By Casey Ashby, Founder, FlyerFly

The Convenience Factor

When a car breaks down, or even just needs an oil change, people don't want to drive 20 miles. They want a trustworthy mechanic close to home. Saturated marketing within a 3-5 mile radius of your shop is the most efficient way to build a loyal customer base.

Filling Slow Days Fast

Every shop has slow weeks. When you look at the schedule and see empty bays, you need a way to generate immediate traffic. A rapid door hanger or yard sign campaign offering a seasonal special (like an AC check in spring or a battery test in winter) can fill your schedule within 48 hours.

Winning New Residents

People who just moved to the neighborhood haven't found their "go-to" mechanic yet. By consistently marketing to the local area, you ensure that your shop is the first one they think of when the check engine light comes on.
