Auto repair shops · Digital marketing
Connect search, WhatsApp and reviews so a same-day enquiry does not slip away.
Digital marketing for an auto repair shop is local search, a fast WhatsApp reply and recent reviews working together, since most bookings are decided and made within the same day. GullySales wires the three together so the car owner who messaged at nine gets an answer before he drives to the next garage.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What digital marketing means
Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For auto repair shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Same-day decisions punish disconnected channels”
A garage ranking well on Google but slow to reply on WhatsApp loses the booking to a competitor who answers within minutes, however good the actual work is.
“Reviews are the deciding factor across every channel”
Whether a customer found you through search, a referral or an advertisement, they check recent reviews before calling, so review management underpins every other channel.
“A simple, working system beats scattered, ambitious ones”
A garage is better served by a complete, well-run Google Business Profile and reply routine than by an unmanaged presence across many platforms.
What we do
What we deliver for auto repair shops.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Connected profile, WhatsApp and review system
Google Business Profile, WhatsApp reply and review monitoring set up to work together rather than separately.
Result: An enquiry does not slip through a gap between channels.
Fast-reply routine for WhatsApp and calls
A written routine and response times your team can actually follow for calls and WhatsApp messages.
Result: The garage stops losing bookings to a faster-answering competitor.
Review monitoring across every source
Monitoring set up wherever your reviews appear, since a customer checks recent reviews regardless of how they found you.
Result: No review, good or bad, goes unnoticed or unanswered.
Single-platform focus recommendation
An honest assessment of which platform, usually Google Maps and search, deserves the real effort over a scattered presence.
Result: Effort goes into one well-run system instead of several thin ones.
Enquiry-to-booking report
A report showing how many enquiries from each channel actually became a booked job.
Result: You see which channel is worth the time spent on it.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Where a garage starts
A garage starts with a Business Profile that is right, a WhatsApp number that gets answered and recent reviews.
- Business Profile
- Correct the hours, brands serviced, address pin and photos of the bay. Count the calls and direction requests the profile receives.
- WhatsApp reply when the workshop is shut
- Set an away message with the time you reply and a booking link. Note how many night messages turn into a morning booking.
- Review ask at vehicle delivery
- Hand the car back, show the invoice and then send the review link on WhatsApp. Keep a tally of customers asked and customers who posted.
- Next-service reminder
- Write the service date and kilometre reading in a sheet and message the owner before the next one is due. Record how many come back.
- Insurance claim jobs
- List the insurers you handle and write a short page explaining the paperwork steps. Log claim jobs by source.
- What to leave until later
- Leave most social platforms, paid search for generic service terms and a new website until the profile and reply routine are solid.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.
- 5
Measure as one campaign
Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.
Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
