Someone looking for a garage has a problem with the vehicle and very little patience: they type the fault, not the company name. What holds them is a price range, a slot this week, and a sign that you know their make.
Breakdowns and booked-in work are two different sets of customers. Serving both on one page loses each of them in the other's noise; kept apart, both find what they came for.
Whether it has to stay overnight decides more bookings than the price of an hour's labour. Turnaround, a replacement vehicle and the makes you work on belong next to the phone number, not on a page nobody opens.
How payment works belongs on the page: card, finance, whether the estimate costs anything and whether it comes off the repair. It is the detail that decides who gets the call when two garages look the same.
Every dealer competes on the same listings, with the same photos, on the same portals. The one thing you own is the sourcing side, and it's the one thing almost no dealer website is built for.
Finance and part-exchange decide more sales than price does. Letting someone see an indicative monthly figure and get a valuation for their current car brings them in already halfway to a deal.
In used cars the portals bring the buyers — what's scarce is stock. We build a site that ranks for "sell my car" plus your town and earns enough trust for someone to drive their car to you.
The portals own demand, not supply. Being visible for buying and part-exchange means sourcing directly instead of buying from other traders — and that's where the margin is.
A valuation form for the customer's current car — make, model, mileage, photos — that lands as a sourcing lead rather than a general enquiry.
We work with the technology that best fits your used car dealership: WordPress, WooCommerce or bespoke development, always with a fast, secure and easy-to-manage website. We hand it over ready and, if you want, train you to run it yourself.
Your website will appear on Google when people search for a used car dealership in your area, because we design it optimised for local rankings from the ground up. A website that gets found and converts: that's the plan.
