Shops earn the most from complex work: diagnostics, transmission rebuilds, and engine repairs. Wasted clicks come from people looking for instructions to fix the car themselves at home. A real customer calls and immediately describes the symptoms, make, and year of the car. First, make your phone number prominent on mobile and exclude searches like “how to change oil yourself”.

With a mentor. You or your marketer set up the ads, and Igor and the team review and guide. Faster than learning from scratch, cheaper than an agency.
Agency. We run the ads for you: a one-time audit for 221 dollars, one-time setup for 684 dollars, management from 5,000 dollars; a specialist quotes the exact price after the review. Right when the budget lets you delegate.
If your budget is under 1,608 zł a month, start with training or mentorship.
