Custom website for auto repair shops
A custom website for a auto repair shop costs from $4,500 one-time at Nabee Studio, or $499/mo for 24 months with maintenance and hosting included. Unlike a template, it's designed around how a auto repair shop actually operates — removing the manual touchpoints (Taking appointment requests by phone during business hours only) that template sites force on you.
An auto shop's website has one persuasion job — convince a wary stranger you won't rip them off — and one operational job: let them request an appointment without a phone call. The persuasion comes from specifics, not stock photos of engines: your certifications, your warranty, honest pricing on common services, real reviews. The operations come from an appointment request that captures the vehicle and the problem so the service writer starts prepared.
Most shop websites do neither, because they were built as an afterthought. We build around what actually earns the customer: transparency up front and convenience at the moment they decide. The shop-management system you already use stays the operational core — the website is the front door that fills the bays and starts the trust before the car ever rolls in. That's a fundamentally different thing from a template with your hours on it.
The reality for most auto repair shops
Approval phone tag stalls the bay
A tech pulls a wheel, finds a worn rotor, and the car sits on the lift while the service writer tries to reach the customer for approval. Every unreturned call is a bay occupied and not billing. Digital approvals — a text with the estimate and an "approve" button — turn hours of dead time into minutes.
Appointment scheduling by phone only
Customers who can't call during business hours simply go to whoever they can reach, and the front desk fields booking calls while trying to check people out. Without online appointment requests that respect bay capacity and service type, the shop loses jobs to availability, not skill.
Status updates that don't happen
"Is my car ready?" is the most common call a shop gets, and answering it repeatedly is pure interruption. Customers left uninformed assume the worst; proactive status texts turn anxiety into loyalty and free the phone for real work.
What does it cost?
One scoping pass, one fixed number — no hourly billing. A custom website with online appointment requests, digital approvals, and status updates covers what most shops need — the shop-management system stays the operational core.
- Website — from $4,500 one-time (standard from $7,500), or $499/mo for 24 months with the Maintenance Plan and hosting included.
The monthly plan totals somewhat more than paying up front — that's the honest trade for spreading the cost and having us operate everything for two years. Details in the payment plan guide and on the pricing page.
