A record revenue week — with a two-technician team
“Having a year long marketing calendar and an expert who knows our business makes this one of the best investments I have made in my company.”
Every shop on this page has someone owning the marketing.
The results above came from a plan that someone ran every week and reported on every month. Shops reach that two ways — by handing the whole function to an outside team, or by keeping execution in-house with experienced direction on top of it.
VIP Marketing Manager
A full outside marketing department for your auto repair shop — an account manager, designer, copywriter, and social coordinator planning the work, running it every week, and reporting what it did for car count.
