i like the fact that your website is easy to read and go through. When trying to show too much, i get a little lost/dizzy looking at web pages.

 

So yours is clean and simple : that's what i like.

 

i know you are not done yet, is it normal that the bottom links don't work (Welcome/Schedule/Team/Managment/Map/Address/Contact Us)

 

Good Work !

Hello,

I have a new website and would appreciate any feedback you guys could give me. I actually liked the look of my old website better, but the new guy I hired said the site coding was outdated. I do plan on making changes to the content as we go along. A lot of the things that are on it I don't like from a technician's viewpoint (IE Picture of diesel injection pump, some of the services listed). He told me not to worry we will review the performance in a few months and make any changes that are necessary. My biggest obstacle is the time it takes to write the content for the website. The good thing is that it is getting the phone to ring. I am not looking for feedback on looks or graphics as these have very little to do with it's performance. I want to use the website and tailor it to bring the right customers in. As with any advertising it seems to bring in a lot of price conscious customers which can be very difficult for a shop that focuses on quality and doing the job right.

We are still building ours. Just getting use to all the new technology and social media pages. Our next step is to have the story of our family owned business added somewhere on the site. The family has been in this business since 1930 right in downtown Riverview and our newest and second location is Hancock Tire and Auto Service just north of Riverview nearer to Tampa.

This is our new website. Still needs tweaking but I would love to hear some feedback on it. I like the "My Garage" feature. Customers can set up their vehicle to receive automated emails when factory service intervals are due and they will receive a monthly newsletter with any current coupons. I also like it because it is tied in with my management software so when a ticket is completed a garage profile is automatically created for the customer and they will receive the suggested service emails and also will receive a copy of their invoice by email after they leave.

New recently

 

www.johnsplaceglenview.com

 

Bossman, looks good but a couple of critiques if I may...

 

1.www.johnsplaceglenview.com looks to be the same as www.personalizedautocare.com, I would redirect one or the other domain to the other. Or you have domain masking going on. Search engines are not crazy about that.

 

2. All your pages have the same title or Meta Title which is not great for search engines:

 

 <title>Glenview, Northbrook, Wilmette, and Winnetka Auto Repair Services | Personalized Auto Care | Glenview, IL</title>

MINI4U, nice looking site. All your pages seem to have the same Meta Title as well, which is not great for Search Engines. Looks like every web page is named:

 

<title>Botzon's Automotive. Specializing in European import service and repair. Spokane, WA</title>

But oddly, google does show a bunch of separate pages, was your site changed recently?

 

To check your site pages in google, type "site:www.botsonsauto.com" which will give you all the indexed pages. They will fall out if they all have the same title and your site will loose relevency.

 

Just a suggestion.. :D

Great thread to be revived.

 

Here is our website:

 

www.mspecperformance.com

 

Kukui made it for us. They do all of our internet marketing and CRM. We have been with them for about a year now. I am happy with the level of service and results we get. I need to update the pictures on the site, they are a little dated at this point.

Bradley that is a very very good website. There is not a lot of info in the home page just a good call to action, people are not overwelmed with who you are and what you do. 99% of everyone knows who you are and what you do already there are there to schedule an appt, get your location, or get your contact information.

xrac,

 

That is a terrible picture of me, I am young but that picture makes me look like I'm 12. I'm actually getting our website manager photographs of our shop, crew and myself. So hopefully within a couple days that will be changed.

      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.

      Thanks to our Partners, Shop Boss, and 360 Payments Recorded at the 2024 Automotive Aftermarket Retailers of Ontario (AARO) Business Management and Lindertech Training Trade Show, Murray Voth explores the idea of transferable skills for automotive shop owners making the shift from technician to business owner. He highlights how their technical knowledge can be applied to efficiently use shop management software and offers strategies to overcome any intimidation they may feel. By adopting a structured approach to learning key performance indicators (KPIs) and generating business reports, shop owners can gain the confidence needed to manage their businesses. Voth encourages them to use their diagnostic abilities to analyze business metrics, ultimately improving their effectiveness in running their shops.
