Phone-Ringing Repair Leads, This Week
When a driver searches "won't start near me" or "brake repair shop", your shop should be the first call. Our Google Ads and Local Service Ads put your bay at the top of search and route tracked, qualified calls straight to your service writer.

Your bays should be booked, not waiting on referrals
Drivers with a check engine light, a grinding brake, or an AC that blows hot search Google first. Auto repair Google Ads put your shop on that screen before the chains do, and route the call to a tracked number you control.
The Problem
Losing Emergency Calls to Franchises
Midas, Firestone, and Jiffy Lube outbid you on "won't start" and "brake repair near me" searches. The driver stranded at 7am books with them, not you.
Empty Bays Between Inspection Seasons
Repeat customers cover part of your week. The other days you stare at an empty lift, hoping someone walks in for an oil change or AC recharge.
Past Ad Spend That Vanished
Last agency bid on "free diagnostic" and brought tire-kickers. You paid $4,200 for clicks, booked 6 repair orders, and quit on Google Ads completely.
No Way to Prove What Works
You think your AC repair customers came from Google but your service writer never asks. Without call tracking on the right shop number, you guess.
The Solution
Repair PPC: Calls When Drivers Need You
Local Service Ads with Google Guaranteed sit above the map. Call-only campaigns trigger when the search has urgency. Each click maps to a tracked number, a recorded call, and a repair order value your shop manager can verify.
RO Value Attribution
We pull repair order data from Tekmetric, Mitchell1, ShopMonkey, or AutoLeap and tie it back to the keyword that drove the call. You see real revenue per campaign, not just clicks and impressions.
How paid search keeps your lifts full
What is Auto Repair PPC?
Pay-per-click puts your shop at the top of Google the moment a driver types "mechanic near me" or "check engine light shop". You pay only when someone clicks or calls. No click, no charge. Every dollar maps to a person actively looking for service.
How Search Ads Work for Shops
A driver types "brake repair shop" or "transmission rebuild [your city]". Your ad shows above the organic map pack. The headline names the service, the description names your warranty, and the call button rings your service writer with a tracked number.
Local Service Ads & Google Guaranteed
LSAs sit above paid search with the Google Guaranteed checkmark. You pay per lead, not per click. The badge converts skeptical drivers because Google backs the booking. Our expert team handles license verification, background checks, and the review pipeline that keeps your LSA ranking high.
Service-Specific Repair Campaigns
One campaign for brakes. One for transmission. One for AC. One for state inspection. Each one gets its own keywords, its own ad copy, its own landing page, and its own RO value benchmark. That is how we stop wasting clicks on the wrong service.
Repair PPC Performance
Repair shop ads only work when the person managing them knows the difference between a $32 oil change lead and a $2,400 transmission lead. Our expert team runs them like a service manager would.

Why mechanic shops put real money into Google Ads
Repair PPC pays back faster than any other channel when it is run with shop math, not agency math. Here is what the right setup gives you.
Calls in 24-48 Hours
Skip the 9-month SEO climb. LSAs and search ads go live the same week we build them. The first tracked repair call usually rings on day two or three.
Drive-Time Radius Targeting
Set ads to a 7-mile drive radius so you do not pay for clicks from across town. Pair with ZIP-code bid adjustments for your highest-value neighborhoods.
Budget Pacing You Control
Cap daily spend at $40 or $400. Pause when bays are full. Push harder on slow Mondays. Your service capacity drives the budget, not the other way around.
RO Value Reporting
We pull repair order totals from Tekmetric or ShopMonkey and tie them back to the call. You see actual revenue per keyword, not just clicks and CPL guesses.
Daily Search Term Pruning
We strip out "free", "DIY", "how to fix", and other waste queries every morning. Your budget only pays for searches with paying intent.
High-Ticket Service Focus
We push budget at transmission, AC system replacement, head gasket, and timing chain. Those tickets pay for a month of clicks in a single repair order.
Full-stack repair PPC management
LSA setup, search ads, call-only campaigns, retargeting, landing pages, and shop management integration. One team, one dashboard, one weekly call.
Google Search Ads
Top-of-page placement when a driver searches "mechanic near me", "brake repair shop", or "check engine light". Each service gets its own ad group and quality score.
What's included:
Local Service Ads (LSA)
Google Guaranteed placement above paid search. Pay per lead, not per click. We handle license verification, background checks, and the review pipeline that keeps your LSA ranking.
What's included:
Call-Only Emergency Campaigns
For searches like "wont start", "overheating", and "wont shift" we run call-only mobile ads. The tap dials your shop directly. No website detour.
What's included:
Past-Customer Retargeting
Drivers who visited your inspection or oil change page get served reminder ads at the next service interval. Performance Max pulls them back when they need brakes or AC.
What's included:
Service-Specific Landing Pages
A brake repair ad lands on a brake repair page. A transmission ad lands on a transmission page. Pricing, warranty, ASE badges, and a click-to-call CTA above the fold.
What's included:
Shop Management Integration
We connect call tracking to Tekmetric, Mitchell1, ShopMonkey, AutoLeap, or Identifix so closed RO data flows back into Google Ads bidding. Spend follows revenue.

We are not a generic agency learning how oil changes price out. Our expert team books bays for repair shops every day and knows the math behind a $480 RO versus a $32 click.
Repair-Shop-Only Focus
We run ads for mechanic shops, brake shops, transmission specialists, mobile mechanics, and EV/diesel/European specialists. We do not split attention with plumbers and dentists.
LSA and Google Guaranteed Specialists
License upload, insurance verification, and background checks are not optional for repair LSAs. Our expert team has cleared hundreds of shops through the Google Guaranteed pipeline.
Reports You Can Read on a Friday
No 60-tab dashboards. Weekly emails show ad spend, calls, booked ROs, average ticket, and the keyword that drove each one. Two minutes to read, zero jargon.
Cancel Anytime, No 12-Month Lock-In
Month-to-month. Thirty days notice and you are out. We keep clients by booking their bays, not by writing tight cancellation clauses.
Recorded Call Coaching
Every plan ships with call tracking and recording. We listen back monthly and flag the calls where your service writer lost a brake job they should have booked.
72-Hour Onboarding
Strategy call Monday, account audit Tuesday, campaigns live Thursday. Most shops see their first tracked call by the weekend, not next quarter.
The chain shops are taking the calls you should own
Right now a driver in your ZIP code is googling "mechanic open Sunday". They see Midas first. They call Midas. They pay Midas for a brake job that should have been your $620 RO. Every hour without ads is another routed call you never knew existed.

Repair PPC moves faster than SEO but it is not magic. Here is the honest week-by-week of what your phone log and shop scheduler will look like.
Launch
LSA application submitted, search campaigns built, call tracking installed, and ads go live within 48 to 72 hours.
Tuning
Real search query data starts coming in. We strip out junk terms like "free diagnostic", widen winning ad copy, and tune bids by service category.
Scaling
Closed-RO data flows back from your shop management system. Budget shifts toward transmission, head gasket, and AC where the tickets are biggest.
Steady State
Bays stay booked. Cost per call settles below $30 in most markets. We launch seasonal pushes for AC in spring and battery service in winter.
PPC books bays this week. SEO builds the brand long-term.
Repair shops that win pair both. Google Ads and LSAs ring the phone now. Organic content and Google Business Profile compound over six to twelve months. We run both sides for shops that want to stay full year-round.

Common questions about auto repair PPC
Real questions shop owners ask before they hand over their ad account.
Auto repair has been an eligible LSA category since 2021. Your shop needs a valid business license, general liability insurance, and an ASE certification on file. Background checks run on the owner and at least one technician. Our expert team handles the whole submission. Most shops get verified in 14 to 21 days.
