Auto Repair Shop Websites
Auto repair website design for independent shops
Websites for independent auto repair shops, from a two-bay garage to a shop with several locations. A driver looking for a mechanic is usually worried: a warning light came on, the brakes are grinding, or the dealer’s number was higher than expected. They want to know whether you work on their make, roughly what common jobs cost, how soon you can look at the car, and whether you’ll check with them before doing anything extra. I design shop sites that answer those questions and turn a nervous search into a booked drop-off. Below: what a repair shop site costs, and the trust signals that win a driver over.

What you get
Drop-offs without phone tag
Drivers pick a day and describe the problem, and the request lands with your service writer.
Certifications where it counts
ASE-certified technicians, your state registration and your parts-and-labor warranty, placed near the booking button.
Makes you service, named
European, Japanese, domestic, diesel or hybrid: say what your bays handle so the right cars come in.
Inspection reports explained
If you send photo inspections, a page showing a sample, so customers trust the findings when they arrive.

Quick answer
Building an auto repair site yourself runs about $17.77 to $159.77 a month, a trades plan like ProPages is $99 to $149 a month, and a custom shop site starts at $5,000. Whichever route you take, the site pays off when a driver can see you fix their make, read what the first look costs and request a drop-off time from a phone.
The guide
What an auto repair website costs
| Route | What it costs | Suits a shop that |
|---|---|---|
| Wix or Squarespace, set up yourself | Wix $17.77 to $159.77; Squarespace $19 to $99; per month on yearly plans | Has one location and someone who likes writing |
| ProPages trades plan | $99 monthly (5 pages) or $149 monthly (10 pages, quote form and gallery included); no fee to set up | Wants something live this week without a project |
| Upwork freelancer | Usually $15–$30 hourly; $45–$75+ when design is the job | Needs specials or hours changed on a site it owns |
| Custom repair shop site (me) | From $5,000 in a single quote, plus hosting | Wants service pages, booking and reviews built around its bays |
Checked on the plan pages of Wix and Squarespace (October 2026), on ProPages, whose list of trades includes auto repair, and on Upwork (November 2026). Budgets beyond repair shops: how much a website costs.
Signs a driver looks for in a new shop
- They work on my car. Makes, models and fuel types, including hybrids and electric cars if you service them.
- They explain before they fix. How estimates and approvals work, in your own words.
- Real people. Photos of your technicians and the bays, with names if they agree.
- Certifications. ASE certifications and your state registration number.
- A warranty. The months and miles you cover on parts and labor.
- The cost of finding out. The diagnostic fee, and whether it goes toward the repair.
- Getting around. A shuttle, loaner, waiting room or ride credit, if you offer one.
Approval before extra work: put it on the site
In California, the Bureau of Automotive Repair requires a written estimate and the customer’s consent before work starts, and consent again before the bill goes over that estimate. Explaining the process on your site, with a sample of the text or photo you send for approval, tells drivers there won’t be a surprise at pickup. Other states set their own rules, so check yours.

A quote form that fills in as you type
Truebore Precision is a machine shop I invented. Its quote form builds a title block and a lead-time estimate live, and it shows a sample inspection report, much like the photo inspection a careful repair shop sends before starting work. See all 26

FAQ
Questions buyers ask
What should an auto repair website include?
The makes you work on, a page for each common repair, starting prices where you can give them, appointment requests, hours and drop-off details, warranty terms, certifications and reviews. Drivers also want to see that you’ll ask before adding work.
How much does an auto repair shop website cost?
Wix plans for a do-it-yourself site run $17.77–$159.77 a month and Squarespace plans $19–$99, paid annually. ProPages, a site plan for local trades that names auto repair, charges $99 or $149 a month. Custom shop sites from me start at $5,000 as a single quoted price.
Should a repair shop post prices online?
For routine work, yes: oil changes, brake pads, batteries, alignments. Jobs that need a diagnosis first can show the inspection fee and explain that an estimate comes before any repair. In California, the Bureau of Automotive Repair requires a written estimate and the customer’s consent before work begins.
Can customers book repairs online?
Yes. A request form with the car, the problem and a preferred drop-off day suits most shops, and some shop management systems have their own appointment tools that the site can link to.
How do we compete with dealerships online?
Be specific and local. A dealer promotes its brand; an independent shop wins by naming the makes it knows, showing its technicians and warranty, and keeping its Google Business Profile full of real photos and replies to reviews.
Do you build sites for shops outside Los Angeles?
Yes. Repair shops in any US city can hire me. I’m based in Los Angeles, and the project runs by email with a preview link at each stage.
