How Much Does a Mechanic's Website Cost in Australia?

A national web design price guide, verified in October 2026, lists a landing page at $800–$3,000, a small business site of five to ten pages at $2,000–$6,000 and a custom build at $6,000–$15,000. Sites that connect to bookings, member areas or a CRM sit at $15,000–$40,000, and hourly work after launch runs at $80–$250.

Canstar, drawing on Airtasker data from January 2026, says a car service generally costs between $140 and $550. Its state averages for a full service include $139–$190 in South Australia, $160–$240 in New South Wales, $188–$270 in Queensland and $189–$245 in Victoria. On those numbers, the guide's small business site costs roughly four to forty car services, depending on which end of each range you land at.

Our workshop websites cost $399 for one page, $899 for up to three pages and $1,499 for up to eight. We aren't registered for GST, so nothing is added on top, and you pay only after you've seen the finished draft, asked for your changes and approved it.

If your workshop is approved for roadworthiness inspections, those customers search for the inspection by name, and the fee is often the first thing they look for. The three eastern states handle it differently:

• New South Wales. Only an Authorised Inspection Scheme (AIS) station can carry out a safety check, the pink slip. The NSW Government lists a maximum fee of $52 including GST for a light vehicle, effective 1 July 2026.
• Queensland. Approved inspection stations are the only businesses that can issue safety certificates. Transport and Main Roads lists the inspection fee for motor vehicles up to 4,500 kg GVM at $102.70 as at 1 July 2026, after a 3.4% indexation rise that day.
• Victoria. Roadworthy certificates come from licensed vehicle testers, and the state's guidance says the price depends on the car's age, type and condition, so each tester quotes its own.

An inspections page fits easily into the three-page site. The running cost to watch is the yearly update: Queensland's fees rise every 1 July, and NSW's current maximums took effect on 1 July 2026. With our hosting, changing a fee on an existing page is a text change, so it's included. A provider charging the guide's $80–$250 an hour for edits would send a small invoice every winter.

A workshop serves several quite different customers: the new-car owner wondering whether servicing away from the dealer is allowed, the fleet manager with a dozen utes, the driver whose car has just failed its inspection, and the 4WD or European owner hunting for a specialist. Each wants different details, and that's what sets the page count.

A small workshop can fit the home page details onto our one-page site at $399. Home, logbook and fleet pages, or home, logbook and inspections, make up the $899 site. Workshops with two or three specialties and a tyre bay usually need the $1,499 site. Mobile mechanics, who have no driveway for anyone to find, swap the map for a list of the suburbs they travel to and usually manage on a single page.

On the logbook page, one short paragraph carries a lot of weight. The ACCC's position is that an independent repairer can service a new car and stamp the logbook without affecting the manufacturer's warranty, provided the service meets the warranty's requirements. Saying so plainly, with a link to the ACCC, costs nothing to add.

No mechanic or workshop is among the 14 client sites in our portfolio yet, so we won't suggest otherwise. Two sites show the booking set-ups described above. Cape Fishing Charters, at Cape Jervis in South Australia, runs on one page with a booking request form, gift voucher requests, a catch gallery, an FAQ, customer reviews, an embedded map and tap-to-call. That's the same request-then-confirm pattern a workshop uses for services. Resolve Forward, a Sydney family dispute resolution practice, has priced packages that link straight to online booking.

Resolve Forward's Google review describes the result as “a sleek, professional website for www.resolveforward.com.au with an intuitive and easy-to-use bookings page.” You can see both sites, and the other twelve, in our portfolio.

A larger agency budget is the better buy if you:

• run several workshops under one brand and need a location finder, separate diaries and staff logins;
• want to sell parts from a catalogue that matches each part to a vehicle by make, model or rego, which is a large build in its own right;
• want someone to write your service pages and a photographer to shoot the workshop;
• want SEO and Google Ads managed month to month by the people who built the site.

We don't supply the writing, photography or ad management on that list. If you'd like to sell a modest range of accessories or workshop merchandise, our online stores start at $799 for up to 25 products with one payment gateway, or $1,999 for unlimited products, several payment options, customer accounts and advanced shipping. For an independent workshop that can send its own words and phone photos, much of a bigger quote pays for work you've already done. Our guides to small business website costs and tradie website costs cover the wider market.
