What clients say

I had never run a FB ads campaign, working with Francesco meant that instead of spending hours figuring out what each option in the ads console meant, or how attribution should work, I could focus on actually launching quickly and effectively, I highly recommend working with Francesco

Working with Francesco has been fantastic because he did not help me only with understanding Ads, but also how to look up what my competitors are doing, plus set up technical aspects such as tracking and Google Analytics. It was nice to learn also, Ads needs their one time to warm up the clients, so the right strategy and funnel needs to be in place. Can only recommend - work with Francesco.

You know what's amazing about Francesco? He doesn't just know the ins and outs of ad platforms - he's actually been in the trenches making them work. When he explains things, it clicks. He takes all these complicated tech concepts and breaks them down into real steps you can actually use. That's pretty rare to find.

If you're a builder, book time with Francesco. He navigated me through the monstrosity called Google Ads UI. But more importantly, he has a natural instinct for spotting marketing problems. And won't hesitate to give you a clear, objective assessment your strategy!

How much do Google Ads cost for auto repair shops?

Auto repair shops typically spend $400–$2,000/month on Google Ads. Average CPC is $3–$10. Cost per new customer ranges from $20–$70. Returning customers are worth 5–10x the acquisition cost given repeat maintenance visits.

What is the average cost per click for auto repair Google Ads?

Auto repair Google Ads CPCs average $3–$10. Oil change and tire keywords are cheaper at $2–$5. Major repair keywords (transmission, engine, AC repair) run $6–$12. Branded vehicle keywords (BMW mechanic, Subaru repair) can reach $8–$15 but attract higher-value jobs.

What is a good cost per customer for an auto repair shop on Google Ads?

A good cost per new customer for an auto repair shop is $25–$60. Oil change customers are worth acquiring at even lower CPLs given they return 4–5 times per year. Major repair leads (transmission, engine) can justify $80–$150 CPL given job values of $1,000–$5,000+.

Should auto repair shops use Google Ads for oil changes or major repairs?

Both, with different goals. Oil change campaigns build traffic volume and loyalty at low CPCs ($2–$4). Major repair campaigns target high-intent keywords and justify higher bids for bigger average tickets. Run them in separate campaigns so you can control bids and budgets independently.

FAQ

Auto Repair Shop Google Ads FAQ

How do I compete with dealer service departments on Google Ads?

Target comparison keywords like '[brand] dealer alternative', 'cheaper than dealer service', and '[make] independent mechanic'. Your ad copy should directly address the price and wait-time advantages of an independent shop. Highlight warranties that match or exceed dealer guarantees.

Should I target vehicle make/model keywords?

Yes, especially if you specialize. BMW, Mercedes, Subaru, and Toyota owners search for brand-specific mechanics constantly. These keywords have less competition than generic 'mechanic near me' and attract customers with known vehicle types — which helps you prepare and quote accurately.

How do I track Google Ads ROI for an auto repair shop?

Call tracking is the most important tool — most auto repair leads call before coming in. We assign unique tracking numbers to each campaign so you know exactly which keywords drove calls. Add conversion tracking for any online booking or contact forms. Track average repair order value by lead source monthly.
