Look straight with people. Win the job before they ring.
The objection
“Everyone assumes a garage is going to rip them off.”
They do, and you cannot argue them out of it. Publish guide prices on your common jobs, say what a service actually includes, and put your reviews where they are read. That answers the fear before the call.
“People search for a garage near them and that is that.”
They search for "clutch replacement", "MOT" or "aircon regas" with a town after it. A page per job puts you in those searches; a single services page puts you in none of them.
“My reviews are on Google already.”
And nobody goes looking for them. Pulled onto the page they are the first thing a nervous driver reads, right next to the price and the service they were checking.
“Word of mouth fills the ramps.”
It fills them until a franchised place opens down the road with an online booking form. Being findable does not replace word of mouth - it stops you being the only garage in town that cannot be found.

Questions
Is a page per service really worth it?
Yes, and it is where most of the gain is. People do not search for "garage": they search for "clutch replacement", "MOT" or "car air conditioning regas". A page per service gets you into those specific searches, which are the ones that bring work in.
Should I publish guide prices?
If you can, yes. The number one fear of anyone taking a car in is being overcharged. Guide prices on your common jobs set you apart and filter out the callers who only want a number.
Can you show my Google reviews?
Yes, we pull them onto the site so nobody has to go looking. In this trade trust is everything, and reviews are the fastest proof that you do a decent job.
How much does it cost?
From £49 per month covering design, domain, hosting, maintenance and support, with a one-off setup from £150-£300.
