Workshop websites that let a driver request a logbook service from their phone, show a fleet manager how your accounts work, and tell everyone what time the roller door goes up.
Someone choosing a mechanic usually knows roughly what they need: a scheduled service, brakes that squeal, a warning light on the dash, an inspection before rego is due. What they want from your site is whether you work on their car, when they can drop it off and roughly what it will cost.
Rego, make, model and year, odometer reading, the service or the problem in their words, and a preferred drop-off day. You confirm by phone or text once you've checked the diary. If your workshop software already takes online bookings, the Book button can link to that instead.
Some new-car owners assume servicing away from the dealer voids their warranty. The ACCC's position is that an independent repairer can service the car and stamp the logbook without affecting the manufacturer's warranty, provided the service meets the manufacturer's requirements. Say so plainly, list the makes you service, and say whether you fit genuine or equivalent parts.
Tradies, couriers and rental operators run utes and vans that lose money every day they're off the road. A fleet section explains how your accounts work: monthly invoicing, priority bookings, service reminders, and pick-up from their yard if you offer it. Give fleet managers their own enquiry form asking how many vehicles they run and what types.
Opening hours including Saturdays, a map, where customers can park, and how early or after-hours key drop-off works. A photo of the workshop as it looks from the road helps first-timers find the right driveway on a busy strip.
A repair business needs a motor vehicle repairer licence in NSW and a motor vehicle repair business licence in WA, and the number belongs in the footer. If you're approved to do inspections, use the words your customers search for: a pink slip in NSW, a roadworthy certificate (RWC) in Victoria, a safety certificate in Queensland.
Brakes, clutches, timing belts, car air conditioning, tyres and wheel alignments, diagnostics, 4WD, hybrid or European makes. Named services are easier to find than a line about "general repairs", and on a 3-page or 8-page site the services that bring in the most work can each have a page.
A starting price for a basic or logbook service by vehicle type, and a clear statement that you'll ring for approval before doing anything beyond the booked job. That second line answers the worry behind a lot of price questions.
Our portfolio doesn't include a mechanic or workshop yet. The closest examples are two booking setups from other industries: a fishing charter's booking request form, and a mediation practice's priced packages linked to online booking. A workshop's service booking page draws on both.
Full-day fishing charters from Cape Jervis, South Australia. We built a one-page site with a booking request form, gift voucher requests, a catch photo gallery, an FAQ, customer reviews, an embedded map and tap-to-call. Customers ask for a date and the business confirms, the same pattern as a service booking request.

Our suggestion for most workshops

$1,499
For bigger workshops: pages for brakes, air conditioning, tyres, inspections and 4WD or European cars, plus logbook and fleet pages.
Yes, as a request: the driver enters the rego, the car and the day they'd like to drop it off, and you ring or text to confirm. The site doesn't run a live calendar of your bays or take payment, but if your workshop management software has online booking, the Book buttons can go straight to it.
One short, factual paragraph helps. The ACCC has said an independent repairer can stamp the logbook without affecting the manufacturer's warranty, as long as the service meets the manufacturer's requirements. Extended warranties sold by a dealer can be different, so link to the ACCC rather than paraphrasing a particular brand's warranty; those terms sit between the owner and the manufacturer or dealer.
The workshop front as customers see it from the road, the bays and hoists, the people who'll work on the car, and the waiting area if you have one. Phone photos taken on a tidy day are fine; we resize and compress them during the build so the page stays quick on mobile data.
A one- or two-person workshop serving locals is well covered by the one-page site at $399. If you want logbook servicing and fleet accounts explained on their own pages, the three-page site at $899 fits. Larger workshops with several specialties tend to need the $1,499 site.
