For independent shops
Websites for
auto repair shops.
I read 766 customer reviews of auto repair shops across southern Utah. 35% of them raised honesty, fairness, being ripped off — against 2% in 784 salons reviews.
That tells you what your website is for. A new customer is not looking for a list of services. He is working out whether you are going to take advantage of him. Everything on the page either answers that question or is in the way.
$50 a month. No setup fee, no contract.
I build it before you pay.
What the reviews say
What 766 southern Utah
reviews actually talk about.
| Share | What the customer raised | Count |
|---|---|---|
| 35% | Honesty, fairness, being ripped off | 265 of 766 |
| 33% | Price, the quote, the final bill | 251 of 766 |
| 23% | Speed — same day, got me in, right away | 176 of 766 |
| 2% | The same test, run on 784 salons reviews | 12 of 784 |
How I got this: 766 reviews with more than 60 characters of text, from auto repair shops in Washington County and the surrounding towns, collected from public Google listings during 2026, counted by matching the words above. The comparison row is the identical test on 784 salons reviews from the same area. Small sample, one county, and the businesses skew well-reviewed — so treat the gap between the numbers as the finding, not the decimal places.
What the site needs
Built for
a repair shop.
Put the warranty in writing, near the top
Not "quality guaranteed." The actual terms — what is covered, for how long, parts and labour, and whether it is honoured at other shops. If you are NAPA AutoCare or TechNet, that nationwide warranty is the strongest thing you own against the dealership, and on most shop websites it is buried in a logo strip at the bottom.
Say how you quote, not what you charge
You do not have to publish rates. What settles the worry is the process: whether the diagnostic fee comes off the repair, and whether you call before doing anything that was not on the estimate. Two sentences, and a whole category of phone call stops happening.
Say what you can do today
Walk-ins, same-day diagnostics, whether there is a loaner, whether there is an after-hours drop box. One line each. The person searching at 7am with a noise in the front end is deciding on availability before anything else.
What a website will not do for you.
It will not make your phone ring on its own. What makes a shop's phone ring is your Google Business Profile and your reviews — that is free, and I will help you tighten it up whether or not you buy anything from me. What a website does is close the person who already found you, is looking at three shops, and is deciding in about forty seconds which one looks like a real business.
What it costs
$50/month
That's the whole price.
Included, every month
- Design and build
- Your domain, registered and renewed — yours on request, any time
- Hosting, SSL and security
- Unlimited reasonable edits — new hours, new services, new prices
- A monthly pass adding your new reviews and photos, without being asked
- Privacy and terms pages, kept current
- Google Business Profile and maps setup
- No contract — cancel any time
Not in the $50 — ask me and I'll quote it
- Online stores and shopping carts
- Booking systems wired into your own software
- Custom software or apps
- Google Ads or Facebook Ads management
- A logo designed from scratch
- Photography
These are all things I do. They're just not part of a $50 website, so they get their own number — and nothing starts until you've seen it and said yes.
The obvious question
What's the catch?
There isn't one, but here is the honest arithmetic.
Building it is not the expensive part. I have done this enough times to be quick at it, and the running costs are small. What you are paying for is that none of it is ever yours to think about — not the build, not the updates, and not the part where something breaks on a Sunday night and somebody has to know why.
The expensive part is everything after the first week. Your hours change. You add a service or drop one. New reviews come in, new photos end up on your phone, and somebody has to put them on the site. Underneath all of that the web keeps moving — browsers, what Google expects, security certificates, the things that decide whether your site still loads fast and still gets found. Keeping a site current is not hard in any one month. It is that it never stops — and doing that for every site I have built, month after month, is where the time actually goes. That is what the $50 a month is for.
There is no team here, and that is the point. You get my number, not a ticket. Nobody has to loop anybody in. You text me that the phone number on your site is wrong, and the person reading that text is the person who changes it. No account manager who has to go and ask the developer, no shared inbox your email sits in for a week. That is a feature if you have ever waited days for somebody to change your opening hours. It is a problem only if you wanted six people on a video call.
An agency charging $500 a month is not ripping you off. They have an office, account managers, a designer, somebody doing ads, and a sales team — and all of that costs money that somebody has to pay for. If you want that, it is worth what they charge. I do not have any of it, and for a site this size you do not need it.
Nothing here expires. There is no introductory rate and no promotion. It is $50 next month and it is $50 next year. If now is not the time, come back when it is.
Where I work
Southern Utah,
town by town.
Based in Washington County and covering the whole of it.
Other trades
Built for
what you do.
A roofer shouldn't look like a salon. Every build starts from what you sell and who's buying it.
What happens next
Four steps, and you
can stop at any of them.
Questions
The things people ask.
Do you build sites for auto repair shops outside Washington County?
Yes, though most of my work is in southern Utah. The price and everything included is the same wherever you are.
I don't have many photos of my work. Is that a problem?
No. I use what you have and lay it out so it looks deliberate. If there genuinely aren't any, I design around it — the site still gets built and you still see it before you pay.
Is $50 a month really the whole price?
Yes. There is no setup fee, no deposit and no contract. $50 a month covers the design, the build, hosting, the SSL certificate, your domain registered and renewed, and unlimited edits to what is already there — new hours, new services, new prices.
Who owns the domain name?
You do, in the sense that matters: you can take it whenever you want. If you already have a domain it stays yours, registered where it is, and I never touch the account. If you need one, I register it and pay for it, and it sits in my account while you are subscribed so you do not have to set up a registrar account or deal with the paperwork. Ask me in writing at any time and I move it to an account in your name. If you leave, it goes to you. New registrations are locked for 60 days, which is an ICANN rule, not mine. One limit worth saying out loud: an ordinary name is included, but a premium or resale name — the kind brokers list for hundreds or thousands — is not. If you want one of those I will tell you the price before anything is bought.
What happens if I cancel?
Billing stops at the end of the month you have already paid for. The site comes down and the domain goes to you — any transfer fee the registrar charges at that point is yours, and it is usually a few dollars. There is no cancellation fee, no notice period and no retention call.
Will a website get my phone ringing?
Not on its own, and anybody promising you leads for $50 a month is guessing. What makes the phone ring is your Google Business Profile and your reviews. A website closes the person who already found you and is deciding between you and two other names.
How long does it take to build?
Usually three to five days for the first version. Changes after that are normally turned around in about three business days.
Do you do Google Ads or SEO campaigns?
Not inside the $50 — that price is the website. Ads and campaign work are a separate job with their own number, so tell me what you are trying to do and I will quote it. What I will not do is promise you a ranking, because nobody can control that.
I already have a website. Is that a problem?
No. I build the new one alongside it and send you a link. Nothing changes on your existing site unless you decide to switch, and if you do, pointing your web address at the new one is a ten-minute job on a call with you.
Send me a name
Send me your shop name.
That's the whole ask.
I'll find your reviews, your photos and your services, build the site, and send you the link. Then you decide. If you don't want it, it comes down the same day and you've spent nothing.
