Auto repair shops · Lead generation
Get found by the driver searching right now, not just the one who already knows you.
Lead generation for an auto repair shop means being visible in local search and to referral sources such as insurance agents and used-car dealers. New customers can then find you at the exact moment they need a garage. GullySales builds this around your specific services and locality.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What lead generation means
Lead generation is the combined work of every channel that brings in a new enquiry, whether from search, adverts, referrals or a stall at an exhibition. GullySales runs these channels together and reports the number of enquiries each one produced, not the activity behind it.

For auto repair shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Insurance agents and used-car dealers are an overlooked referral source”
An insurance agent handling a claim or a dealer selling a used car both regularly need a trusted garage to recommend. A direct relationship with a few of them brings steady referrals.
“Local search brings in the urgent, high-intent customer”
A search for a specific service and locality, such as brake repair near a particular area, reaches a customer who is ready to book, not just browsing.
“Fleet leads need direct outreach, not just search visibility”
A business with several vehicles is unlikely to find you through a casual search, and is better reached through a direct approach offering a standing service agreement.
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.
Insurance agent and dealer outreach list
A short list of local insurance agents and used-car dealers approached directly for a steady referral relationship.
Result: The garage gets a repeat referral source instead of one-off word of mouth.
Locality and service search pages
Pages built for a specific service and locality, such as brake repair near a named area, reaching a driver ready to book.
Result: Urgent, ready-to-book searches find the garage instead of a competitor.
Fleet outreach pitch and agreement offer
A direct approach and standing service agreement offer for local businesses running several vehicles.
Result: Fleet accounts get approached instead of waiting to stumble on the garage.
Referral tracking by source
A record showing whether each new enquiry came from an insurance agent, a dealer, search or an existing customer.
Result: You know which referral relationship is actually worth nurturing.
High-value service campaign focus
Marketing effort weighted toward services with real local search volume, such as denting and painting.
Result: Effort goes toward the services most likely to bring in a booking.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries generated
- Cost per enquiry
- Enquiries by source
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Where enquiries come from
The places a service booking reaches a garage, and what to record at each.
- A call from the Google Maps listing
- Ask the vehicle, the problem and when they can bring it. Write 'Maps' as the source and check that your listing shows today's working hours.
- A WhatsApp message with a photo or video of the fault
- Record the vehicle and the fault, and ask for the registration number. Reply with an inspection slot and the check charge, not a final estimate.
- A walk-in on the road outside
- Write down the vehicle, the work and a phone number even for a small job. Offer a reminder for the next service date before they leave.
- A referral from an insurance agent or used-car dealer
- Note who sent the car and what work was involved. Thank the agent after the job and tell them when the car is ready.
- A fleet or company contact
- Record the company, vehicle count and the person who approves repairs. Offer one contact person in the garage who handles that account.
- A returning customer's call
- Pull up the earlier job card before replying, and tell them what was done last time. Record whether the visit was due for a service or for a fault.

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.
How the lead generation work runs
- 1
Understand your capacity
We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.
- 2
Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.
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.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
