AUTO REPAIR SHOP WEBSITES
Auto repair website design, auto repair shop website design and mechanic websites written by an AI agent
One driver has a check engine light and a commute tomorrow. Another is pricing a brake job against two other shops. A fleet manager wants a shop that can take six vans a month. The agent builds a site with a page for each of them.

THE URGENT SEARCH
The car is making a noise it did not make yesterday, and the search starts in a parking lot.
A grinding brake, a flashing check engine light, an AC that blows warm in July. That driver types the exact problem and picks a nearby shop that clearly fixes it, has an opening soon and answers the phone. They never read a homepage. The agent writes a short, direct page for each repair you want more of, with your hours, the towns you serve, what a diagnostic costs if you publish it and the call button where a thumb lands.
THE TRUST DECISION
Handing your car and your card to a stranger is the hard part, and the site has to make it easy.
Drivers worry about being upsold more than they worry about price. The shops that win say how they work before the car arrives: whether you call before any repair over the estimate, whether you show the old parts, what your warranty covers in miles and months, and which technicians hold ASE certifications. The agent writes that page from what you tell it, in plain words, because that page converts a careful shopper into an appointment.
In short
An auto repair shop website costs about $1,000 to $48,500 over three years, depending on who builds it. Firms that publish prices for repair shops charge $65 to $249 a month for a managed site, $597 to $1,750 a month with SEO or CRM work added, and up to $1,598 a month on an 18 month agreement for an automotive marketing agency website plan. A US cost estimator puts a freelance shop site at $1,500 to $8,500, with a typical single location shop near $3,800. What books cars is not the design. It is a page for each repair you want more of (brakes, diagnostics, AC, transmission, alignment), the makes you specialize in, the towns you really draw from, your certifications and warranty in plain words, and a way to request an appointment from a phone in under a minute. AgentSite is an AI agent that builds that site for you: you describe the shop, it plans and writes every page and publishes it on your domain for $49 a month billed yearly ($588 a year), with no build fee and no 18 month contract.
OVERVIEW
An independent auto repair shop gets three kinds of customer from the web, and a single services page lets all three down. The first is the urgent driver. Something just went wrong (a squeal from the front wheels, a check engine light, a battery that died in a parking lot, an overheating gauge) and they search for that exact problem with the word near me or the name of their town. They pick whoever looks local, fixes that problem and can see them soon. The second is the comparison shopper with a quote in hand. The dealer wants a lot for a timing belt or a brake job, and they are checking whether an independent shop will do it for less with the same parts and a real warranty. The third is the long term customer: a new resident looking for a regular shop for oil changes and inspections, the owner of an older European car who wants a specialist, or a small business with a few vans that needs a shop to keep them on the road.
Each of those is a separate search and deserves its own page. A repair shop site that wins all three needs a page for each repair you want more of (brakes, check engine diagnostics, AC repair, transmission service, suspension and alignment, tires, batteries, oil changes and maintenance by mileage), a page for the makes you specialize in if you do (European, Asian imports, diesel trucks, hybrids), a fleet page if you take commercial accounts, a state inspection or emissions page where your state requires one, a service area page that names the towns and neighborhoods you draw from, an about page with your certifications and warranty, and an appointment request that asks for the year, make, model and the problem in the customer own words.
Trust is the part most shop sites skip, and it is the part that decides the booking. Drivers expect to be upsold, so the shop that explains how it works earns the car. Say whether you call for approval before any work beyond the estimate, whether customers can see the old parts, whether you send photos from the inspection, what your parts and labor warranty covers in months and miles, whether you are an AAA Approved Auto Repair facility or an ASE Blue Seal shop if you are, and whether there is a shuttle or loaner. None of that costs anything to publish, and it is the reason a careful customer chooses the third shop they looked at instead of the first.
What changes between vendors is who writes those pages, how long you are tied in and what it costs. We read every firm we could find that builds for repair shops and prints a price, on October 15, 2026. SiteThreeSixty, a managed website service with a page for mechanics, lists 360 Lite at $65 a month for a three page site and 360 Pro at $130 a month for a five to ten page site with a booking system and SMS confirmations. Those are launch charter rates with no setup fee; the listed regular rates are $99 a month plus a $130 setup fee and $165 a month plus a $260 setup fee. Texts beyond the first 50 are $0.08 each, there is no 12 month contract and cancellation needs 30 days notice. Always Do Better, which has a dedicated auto repair website offer, runs a managed site from $249 a month, $597 a month with a monthly SEO content program and lead attribution, and from $1,750 a month with its CRM and reputation tools, month to month, and states that the site, the domain and every lead are yours. The same page says custom builds run $2,000 to $8,000 up front. Shop Marketing Pros, an automotive marketing agency, prices its Website plan at $1,598 a month on an 18 month agreement for the website, dropping to about $1,098 a month after 18 months, with each additional location at $799 a month; its packages with ads and social media run $2,497 to $5,295 a month. Shop management software is starting to bundle websites too: AutoOps announced a built in website builder in August 2025 at a starting price of $100 a month per location, on top of the shop software. For custom work, the US estimates published by projectcostestimator.com put a freelance auto repair site at $1,500 to $8,500 and an agency build at $4,000 to $20,000, with a single location independent shop on WordPress near $3,800 and multi location groups at $14,000 to $38,000.
AgentSite sits between building it yourself and paying an automotive marketing agency every month. You describe the shop the way you would brief a new service writer: the repairs you want more of and the ones you send out, the makes you know best, the towns your customers come from, your certifications, warranty and approval policy, your hours and whether you take drop offs, and how a new customer books. The agent plans the pages, designs the site, writes every page, sets titles, meta descriptions and a sitemap, and publishes it on your own domain with hosting and SSL included. When something changes (a new technician with a hybrid certification, a winter battery special, Saturday hours, a fleet account you want more of), you type one sentence and the page updates in minutes, with no ticket and no hourly bill.
What it does not do, stated plainly so you can rule it out fast. It is not an automotive marketing agency. It does not run Google Ads or Local Services Ads, does not manage your Google Business Profile or request reviews, and does not answer the phone. It does not replace your shop management software: there is no live bay availability, no digital vehicle inspection, no text to pay and no sync into Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, Shop-Ware, AutoLeap or Mitchell 1. The built in request form sends to your inbox, and a Book Now button can link to the online scheduler your shop software already gives you. It will not publish twenty town pages with only the name swapped, because those pages do not rank and can drag down the ones that do. And it will not invent reviews, certifications, prices or warranty terms, so the proof that earns the car comes from your own shop. If you want one firm running ads, listings, reviews and the website for a multi location group, an automotive marketing agency is the right purchase and it is priced accordingly.
§ WHAT YOU GET
Built into every AgentSite build.
A page for every repair you want more of
Brakes, check engine diagnostics, AC repair, transmission service, suspension and alignment, batteries and scheduled maintenance each get a page of their own, because a driver with a grinding brake never reads your general services page.
The makes you know best, said out loud
If you specialize in European cars, Asian imports, diesel trucks or hybrids, the agent writes a page for it. Owners of those cars search for a specialist by make, and a page that names the make and the common jobs on it is how they find you instead of the dealer.
A trust page that answers the upsell worry
Your approval policy before extra work, whether customers see the old parts, your parts and labor warranty in months and miles, ASE certifications and any AAA approval, written plainly so a careful shopper books with you.
Fleet and commercial accounts
A separate page for small business fleets, with how you handle priority scheduling, monthly invoicing and preventive maintenance, because one fleet account can be worth more than fifty one-time customers.
No build fee, no 18 month agreement
$49 a month billed yearly ($588 a year), with hosting, SSL and your custom domain included. The first year is paid upfront, you can turn off renewal from Billing any time, and the site stays live to the end of the paid year. Export it as standalone HTML whenever you want.
Changes in one sentence
Saturday hours, a winter battery special, a new technician with a hybrid certification, a price change on oil changes. Type what changed and the page updates in minutes, with no ticket to a web company.

Prices were read on October 15, 2026 from sitethreesixty.com (mechanic and pricing pages), alwaysdobetterllc.com/auto-repair-website-design and shopmarketingpros.com/auto-repair-marketing-pricing. The AutoOps price is from its August 2025 announcement as reported by Ratchet+Wrench. The freelancer and agency ranges are the 2026 US estimates published by projectcostestimator.com for auto repair shop websites, not vendor prices. Shop Marketing Pros prints both $1,098 and $1,099 for the rate after 18 months. Vendors change prices and several call them starting points, so get any quote in writing and ask who owns the domain and the site files if you leave.
§ THREE YEAR TOTALS
What a single location auto repair shop website costs over three years, by route.
A cheap monthly fee, a one-time build and an agency retainer can look similar in month one and end up tens of thousands of dollars apart. This adds build and monthly fees together over 36 months, using only the published prices above.

Totals assume current published prices hold for three years and exclude taxes, the domain, shop management software, text message fees, advertising and extra pages. Wix Core is $29 a month billed yearly, read from wix.com in September 2026. The AutoOps line counts only the website fee, not the shop software it is sold with. SiteThreeSixty Pro includes a booking system and SMS reminders, which a website builder does not, and that is worth real money if you want prepaid online bookings. Agency care plans after launch are not included because none of the agencies above prints one. AgentSite is for the independent shop that wants a page written for each repair, make and town, without a build fee or an 18 month agreement.
§ FAQ
Common questions.
An auto repair website costs about $1,000 to $48,500 over three years for a single location, depending on the route. Firms that publish prices for repair shops charge $65 to $249 a month for a managed site, and an automotive agency website plan runs $1,598 a month on an 18 month agreement. A freelance build is commonly $1,500 to $8,500. AgentSite is $49 a month billed yearly ($588 a year), with no build fee.
A page for each repair you want more of, a page for the makes you specialize in, a fleet page if you take commercial accounts, a service area page naming the towns you draw from, an about page with ASE certifications, warranty and your approval policy, real photos of your shop and team, reviews, your hours, and an appointment request that works on a phone.
The best one is the one that ends with a written page for each repair, make and town actually live, with an appointment request a driver can send in under a minute. Wix, Squarespace and template builders can hold those pages but leave the writing to you. AgentSite writes and publishes them for you. A managed shop website service does it too, from about $780 a year.
Firms that build for repair shops and publish prices charge $65 to $130 a month at SiteThreeSixty, $249 to $1,750 a month at Always Do Better and $1,598 a month on an 18 month agreement at Shop Marketing Pros (read October 2026). A custom agency build is commonly estimated at $4,000 to $20,000, and multi location groups at $14,000 to $38,000.
Yes. A mechanical repair shop sells diagnostics, maintenance and repairs, so the site leans on service pages, makes and an appointment request. An auto body shop sells collision repair, so the site leans on insurance claims, free estimates from photos, before and after work and rental car help. A shop that does both needs both sets of pages, kept apart.
For fixed price work such as oil changes, state inspections, tire rotation and a check engine diagnostic, a starting price helps, because drivers compare shops and the one that states a number gets the call. Repairs vary too much by vehicle for one number, so most shops show a diagnostic fee, explain how they estimate and promise a call before any extra work.
Give each repair and each make its own page, name the towns you draw from, put a tappable phone number and a short appointment request on every page, explain your warranty and approval policy, and show photos of your own shop and team. Most shop sites lose appointments because the page for the exact search, such as brake repair in a given town, does not exist.
Yes, if you want more than the three map pack spots. A website can rank for each repair and town in the regular results, explain your warranty and certifications and take an appointment request, which is what a careful driver reads before choosing a shop. Google also reads your site to understand what your profile offers, so the two work together.
Enough to give each repair you want more of its own page, plus pages for your makes, fleet work if you take it, your service area, an about page with certifications and warranty, and contact. For a single location shop that is usually 8 to 15 pages. AgentSite Starter includes 8 pages and Pro includes 12 pages per site.
By link, not by sync. A Book Now button can point to the online scheduler your shop software already gives you, and the built in request form sends to your inbox. There is no live bay availability, no digital vehicle inspection and no automatic sync of customers or repair orders into Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, Shop-Ware, AutoLeap or Mitchell 1.
Only for towns where you have something specific to say, such as a state inspection rule, the distance from your shop, a shuttle you run there or the fleets you serve in that town. A page that only swaps the town name does not rank and can drag down the pages that do. The agent writes town pages only when there is real local substance to put on them.
With AgentSite the first build takes minutes, and checking your services, makes, towns and photos takes about an hour. A freelance or agency build usually takes several weeks from brief to launch, and managed monthly services sit in between, since they wait on the details and photos you send.
Both are solid builders and can hold every page a shop site needs, from about $17 to $29 a month billed yearly. The catch is labor rather than capability. Someone has to plan the pages, write a real page for each repair, make and town, and keep hours and specials current. If you will do that yourself after closing, they are a good option.
No. AgentSite builds, writes, hosts and edits the website. It does not manage ad campaigns, Local Services Ads, your Google Business Profile or review requests, and it does not answer calls or book bays. If you want one firm to run all of that, an automotive marketing agency is the right purchase, and it is priced accordingly.
