Can I keep my current domain name if I get a redesign?

Yes. Your domain is yours — we just point it to the new site once it's ready. There's no downtime for your customers, and nothing changes about your web address.

Will the new site let customers book appointments online?

That's one of the first things we build in. Whether it's a scheduling form, a drop-off request, or a simple call-to-action that rings your shop directly, the goal is making it dead easy for someone to go from browsing to booked. We'll set it up based on how your shop actually operates.

I'm on Wix/Squarespace/GoDaddy — can I just update what I have?

You can, but you'll still be working inside the limits of that platform. Template builders restrict what you can customize, they load slower than a purpose-built site, and you're paying monthly for something you'll never actually own. A ground-up rebuild gives you more control and better performance.

How do before-and-after repair photos help my website?

They build trust faster than anything else on the page. When someone sees a rusted rotor turned into a clean brake job, or a transmission pulled and rebuilt, they stop wondering whether you can handle their vehicle. Real photos of real work beat stock everything.

Do you work with shops outside Tyler?

We work with businesses across East Texas. Athens is about 45 minutes from our office in Tyler, and everything we do — design, development, revisions — happens digitally anyway. Location isn't a barrier.

Your Athens Auto Repair Shop Deserves a Website That Actually Books Jobs

A bad website costs real money. Not in some abstract, theoretical way — in the form of phone calls that never happen, appointment slots that stay empty, and customers who drive right past your shop to the one that looked more professional online. If your auto repair site hasn't been touched in years, that's probably happening right now.

$1,200 a Month — Gone

That's a conservative estimate of what a single lost job per week adds up to over a year, broken down monthly. One oil change customer who couldn't find your hours. One transmission job that went to the shop across town because their site had real photos and yours had a blurry logo on a white background. One fleet manager who needed brake work done on six trucks but couldn't tell from your website whether you even handle commercial vehicles.

You don't need anyone to tell you that people search for auto repair on their phones. You already know that. What's more frustrating is that you're probably paying for a website right now — monthly, through some platform — and it's actively turning people away. A site that loads slow on mobile, doesn't list your services clearly, and has no way to request an appointment isn't just unhelpful. It's a liability.

What an Auto Repair Website Actually Needs to Do

Folks in Athens and across Henderson County need to know three things fast: what you fix, how to get their vehicle to you, and whether you know what you're doing.

That means a clear service menu — oil changes, brakes, diagnostics, engine work, whatever you offer — with enough detail that people stop wondering and start calling. It means an easy way to book an appointment or schedule a drop-off, not a generic contact form that disappears into the void. And it means showing your certifications, your experience, your actual shop. Before-and-after photos of real repairs do more convincing than any paragraph of text.

If your current site can't do those things — or makes them hard to find — it doesn't matter how good your work is. People make decisions before they ever walk through your door.

Hosting runs $50 a month, and that includes keeping the site live, secure, and updated.

No subscription traps. No platform fees that creep up every year. You get a website built for your shop, handed over to you.

Athens Shops Shouldn't Have to Settle

There's good work happening in Athens — shops that know engines inside and out, that have regulars who've been coming in for years. But the web doesn't care about your reputation if it can't find you. And a website that was fine in 2019 is a different story now. Screen sizes changed. Google's ranking factors changed. The way people decide where to take their car changed.

So yeah, it's a little frustrating. You're running a real business, doing quality work, and your online presence is the one thing dragging behind. That's fixable. And it doesn't take months.
