Marketing for mechanics that fills the workshop
Dealerships and chains take up much of the search page, and passing traffic only goes so far. We help independent workshops show up when drivers nearby need a service, a repair or an inspection.
Bays sitting empty?
Independents get squeezedDrivers default to the chains
Habit sends people to the name they've already heard of.
Hard to find in your own suburb
Locals searching for a mechanic nearby don't see you.
Relying on your street frontage
A good location helps, but only with people who drive past.
How we get more cars through your doors
Trust wins the bookingWin the map listings
When someone searches for a mechanic near me, the map results appear before anything else. We set up and manage your Google Business Profile so you're in that group, as the starting point of our local search work.
Why it matters: Plenty of independent workshops have left their profile half finished, so there's room to overtake them.
Ads for higher-value repairs
Google Ads that bring in brake work, transmission repairs, diagnostics and logbook servicing from your area, rather than a price fight with the chains.
Why it matters: A brake job is worth more than a basic service, so your spend goes where the better work is and the chains can keep the cheap churn.
A website that earns trust
Your qualifications, reviews, photos of the team and clear pricing where you can offer it, all on a website that works properly on a phone.
Why it matters: Many drivers worry about being overcharged. Seeing real people and honest prices is often what turns a visit into a phone call.
Reviews on autopilot
A review request by text message after each service, and a reply to every review, good or bad, so your rating keeps building.
Why it matters: Drivers check stars before they book, and every genuine review keeps working long after the car's gone.
Higher-value work first

Questions mechanics ask us
How can an independent mechanic compete with the big chains?
On trust and familiarity. You're the mechanic who remembers the car and its owner, while a chain is a different face each time. Reviews, team photos and clear pricing make that difference visible.
Most customers find me because of my location. Why market?
Your location only reaches people who pass by. Drivers searching Google for a mechanic nearby are a separate and bigger group, and having both working brings in more than either alone.
Can you bring in more of a specific type of work?
Yes. Work you want more of, such as transmission, diesel, electric vehicle servicing, fleet or performance, can get its own share of the budget and a page of its own.
How much should a workshop spend on marketing?
It changes with your location, the number of workshops you're up against and the quality of your campaign setup. We'll give you a real figure after the free marketing review.
How long before the phone rings more?
Ads can go live once they're approved, so they usually move first. Map listing work often follows, and organic rankings take longer. Your area and competition decide the pace, and we cover that in the free review.
Can you help with fleet or commercial servicing?
Yes. Fleet work is won through business relationships and contracts over a longer process, so it is marketed differently, with its own content, on the same foundations.
Do you only work with Gold Coast mechanics?
No. We work with workshops right around Australia.

Real clients, kept anonymous"I had an excellent experience working with [Stackt]. They helped me with marketing, strategy, content creation, and the results came fast. I saw real growth in my business in a very short period of time. They were diligent, highly communicative, and incredibly receptive to feedback, which made the entire process smooth and collaborative. Beyond the strong work ethic, there is a real sense of care and integrity behind how they operate. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to grow their business and work with a team that truly invests in your success."

A five-star Google review, quoted word for word. Our clients stay anonymous, so the business behind it isn’t named here.
