Sound Familiar?

Every auto body shop owner we talk to
hits the same walls.

We depend entirely on insurance referrals — if one carrier drops us we're toast.

Yelp and Google Ads keep getting more expensive and less effective.

We run a great shop but nobody online knows we exist.

Tesla drivers keep going to Tesla-certified shops we can't compete with.

Slow season hits us hard every Feb-Mar and we can't smooth it out.

Our best lead source is still word of mouth — which doesn't scale.

What We Deliver

A full Meta ads system.
Built for auto body shops.

01

Damage-Photo Estimate Flow

Customers click your ad, snap 4 photos of their damage, get a ballpark estimate via SMS. Fast, frictionless, lead-capturing.

02

Insurance-Aware Campaigns

Ads that speak to drivers dealing with carrier claims — built around making the process easier, not cheaper.

03

Radius & Drive-Time Targeting

We only show ads to drivers within a realistic distance of your shop — no wasted spend on out-of-area clicks.

04

Seasonal Campaign Shifting

Winter body work, spring detail prep, summer hail restoration — we adjust creative and budget to match local weather patterns.

05

High-Ticket Retargeting

Estimate requests that didn't book get retargeted with before/after galleries and trust-building content until they're ready.

06

Reputation Integration

We layer Google reviews and before/after galleries directly into ad creative — social proof drives conversions in high-ticket repair.

Blended ROAS
We stopped depending on insurance referrals as our only pipeline. Now we've got a steady flow of estimates coming in direct — and the conversion rate is higher than Yelp ever was.— Marcus R., Shop Owner

Auto Body Shop Owner FAQ

Questions we hear every week.

Will my insurance partners get upset if I run ads?+

No — running your own marketing doesn't conflict with carrier relationships. It actually makes you more valuable to them because you bring in drivers they haven't referred.

Can you handle Tesla / EV / luxury-specific positioning?+

Yes. If you're certified for specific makes, we build separate campaign layers that target those driver audiences specifically. EV certifications are especially hot right now.

How do I quote a repair from a Facebook ad click?+

We set up a damage-photo flow: ad → simple form with 4 photos → instant SMS back with a ballpark range. Actual quote still happens in-shop but the lead is 3x warmer.

What's a realistic cost per estimate?+

Most of our body shop clients see $12–$25 cost per estimate depending on market. Dense urban markets run higher; suburban/rural run lower. The math still works because avg. ticket is $2–4K.

Do you integrate with shop management software?+

Yes — we integrate with CCC One, Mitchell, Shop-Ware, and AutoTraker via their webhook/API layers so your estimator inbox is the single source of truth.

What about DRP (direct repair program) shops?+

Running Meta ads is fully compatible with DRP work. We help you diversify beyond DRP so you're not locked into one carrier's volume.
