I would like to stir up some business for my car repair garage, any pointers?
I have just opened and i do not have thousands to spend on ad’s etc. so was would like to hear what you guys think are the best cost effective ways of attracting customer for a local car repair garage like mine. I currently do all kinds of car repairs including body work and engine repairs. I do have a few competitors in the area but i have the best looking garage in the area and was hoping i could use this to my advantage. Unfortunately my workshop is not located on a busy main road…

Put up some posters directing people to your shop and have it say something like “Open house” or something and then have a BBQ to impress people that pop by out of curiosity.

Be patient and do good honest work and the word will spread.

People on car forums are always asking ‘can you recommend a good mechanic in my area?’ You should become a member of a few car forums that have members in your area. It will cost you some time, and you will have to give a little of yourself giving them some DIY advice, but I think it will pay off in the end.
