An auto repair website that handles tire season for you
An auto repair website proves its worth in October and April, when everyone wants their tires swapped the same week. The phone never stops, the front counter is packed and mechanics get pulled away to say ‘we have room Thursday’. With online booking for tire changes and maintenance, customers pick their own slot, get a reminder the day before, and your team stays under the cars. Our live demos show a service business site with a call button and photo requests, and how online booking works.
What eats up your time
Tire rush twice a year
Before the first snow, everyone calls at once, and even more as December 1 gets close. Days fill up over the phone, one slot at a time.
Calls while you’re under a car
The mechanic drops the wrench to answer, or the phone just rings out. A small shop can’t keep someone at the counter all day.
Booked slots that sit empty
In peak season, a customer who doesn’t show up for tires blocks a bay someone else would have gladly taken.
What your website does for you
Online booking for tire changes
Customers pick the service (tire swap, oil change, inspection, detailing) and a time in the slots you open. Each service has its own length.
Slots by bay or by mechanic
The schedule can be organized by staff member, so by bay or by mechanic. In season, open more tire slots and fewer for big repairs.
Text reminder the day before
Email confirmation, then a text 24 hours before. Customers who can’t make it reschedule instead of leaving a bay empty.
Cancel and reschedule under your rules
You set the minimum notice. The freed slot reopens right away, and in October it won’t stay open long.
Client records with vehicle history
Past visits, work done and notes: tire size, tires stored at the shop, next suggested service. You know who to think of in the spring.
Shop calendar synced with Google Calendar
The counter and the mechanics see the same day, on a computer or a phone. Seasonal hours change in the admin in 1 minute.
A day with the system
A Monday in October at the shop
By Sunday night, 31 customers have booked their tire change for the week right on the site, in the 30-minute slots you opened. Monday, 7:30 a.m., the counter prints the day: 14 tire swaps and 4 maintenance jobs. Each customer’s record shows their tire size and whether the tires are stored at the shop, so the wheels are pulled ahead of time. At 9, a customer reminded by text moves her appointment to Wednesday; by 9:20, the slot is taken. The phone still rings, but for questions, not to fill the calendar one slot at a time.
Recommended package
Booking
$3,299
plus taxes, paid once · Typical timeline : 2 to 3 weeks
The Booking package, at $3,299 (plus taxes, paid once), is the right starting point for a shop: a full site, online booking by service, slots by bay or mechanic, text reminders, a calendar and client records with history. Typical timeline: 2 to 3 weeks. To automatically send a seasonal reminder to all your customers (‘time for your winter tires’), you need the automated emails and texts of Complete management at $5,999, which also adds PDF quotes and Google review requests. With Booking, the records still show you who to reach out to. If your shop management software already handles appointments, a Showcase site at $1,499 may be enough. Compare on the pricing page.

How much does an auto repair shop website cost?
A showcase site is $1,499 and a site with online booking is $3,299, plus taxes, paid once. Reminder texts are billed at cost, a few cents each. The Peace of Mind plan at $49 a month is optional.
How do I handle online booking for tire changes?
Open short tire-only slots during the season, by bay or by mechanic. Customers book themselves and get a reminder the day before. When the rush ends, you reopen the slots for maintenance and repairs.
Can I send all my customers a winter tire reminder?
Automatic seasonal reminders are part of Complete management. With Booking, each customer gets a reminder before their appointment, and the records let you see who hasn’t booked yet. Our guide to website cost in Quebec helps you weigh the options.
Does it replace my shop management software?
No. Work orders, parts and invoicing stay in your software. The site brings in customers and fills the calendar; connecting it to your software would be a custom project.
Will the site be ready before tire season?
Plan on 2 to 3 weeks after the discovery call and the written quote within 48 hours. To be ready for October, start in September. Request your quote.
