Commercial vehicle repair workshops · Social media

Show the truck on the lift, the part replaced and the invoice explained.

Social media marketing for a commercial vehicle workshop is the use of Facebook, YouTube and Instagram to show fleet owners and drivers the real work of the yard. GullySales works on what to post, how to caption it and how to turn a comment into an enquiry.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For commercial vehicle repair workshops

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Drivers watch videos and share them”

    A long-haul driver spends hours on a phone, and a video of a gearbox repair gets passed around the cabin. A workshop whose work is on that phone is remembered when the truck stops.

  • “Owners want proof of method, not a picture of a clean floor”

    A fleet owner wants to see the fault found, the part removed and the work tested. Posts that show the sequence answer the suspicion of padding that every owner carries.

  • “Facebook and YouTube reach the older owner”

    Transport owners are on Facebook and YouTube more than on Instagram. A plan that picks the platform where the buyer already sits wastes less effort.

  • “A customer's truck and number plate are private”

    Posting a transporter's truck can reveal their routes and loads. Ask before posting, cover the number plate and keep drivers out of frame unless they agree.

What we do

What we deliver for commercial vehicle repair workshops.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A content plan from the yard

    Post ideas drawn from real jobs: a clutch change, a brake overhaul, a fleet service day.

    Result: Posts come from the work, not from stock.

  2. A caption pattern with truck, fault and fix

    A repeatable format that names the make, the fault, the part and the booking route.

    Result: Searchers on the platform find posts by make.

  3. A reply guide for comments and messages

    Prepared replies to price and availability questions that move the person to a message or a call.

    Result: Comments become estimate requests.

  4. A consent note for customer vehicles

    A short routine for asking before posting a customer's truck and covering plates.

    Result: Posts respect the transporter's privacy.

  5. A short video routine for the mechanics

    A simple way for the team to film a repair with a phone, with a checklist for light and sound.

    Result: The yard can produce its own videos.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the social media work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Understand your audience and platforms

    We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.

  2. 2

    Audit current presence

    We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.

  3. 3

    Build the content calendar

    A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

  4. 4

    Implement and post

    Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Which platform should a workshop start with?
Start where your buyers already are. For transporters that points to YouTube and Facebook, and WhatsApp for the conversation after. Add Instagram when you can keep all of them up.
Do we need paid promotion?
Test a small amount against one job, such as a fleet service offer in an industrial area. Check whether enquiries become trucks in the yard, and read the platform's current rules on what an advertiser may say.
Can the mechanics appear in videos?
Yes, with their agreement. Mechanics who explain the fault in plain words build more trust than a voice-over. Keep the language simple and the camera steady, and credit the team by first name only if they are happy to be named.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
