Websites · Auto repair & body shops
Be the shop they call first.
Most people look for a mechanic on a phone, often with the car already making the noise. Ninewave builds websites for auto repair and body shops that answer what they need to know (can you fix it, when, and how do I reach you) and put a number that dials one tap away.
This is Jon.He builds it, and still answers in year three.
The short answer
Who builds websites for auto repair and body shops?
Ninewave builds websites for independent auto repair and body shops across the US: custom made, services named the way customers search, and a number that dials on every screen. Never more than $999, live nine days after your content arrives, then $99 a month for Care: required, no minimum term, free full export if you leave.
A number that dials
Tap-to-call on every screen, because the person looking is usually standing next to the car.
Services in plain words
Brakes, transmissions, diagnostics, collision: named the way customers search for them, with the makes you work on.
Book a slot or ask for a quote
An appointment request or an estimate form, with room for photos of the damage on body work.
Found when something breaks
Set up for the repairs people search near you, with hours and an address search engines can read.
What usually goes wrong
A phone number you can read but not tap
On a phone, a number written as plain text has to be memorised or copied before anyone can call it. It is a small thing, and it sits exactly at the moment someone has decided to call you.
“Full service auto repair” and nothing more
Someone with a grinding noise searches for brake repair, not full service. A site that never names the work leaves both the customer and the search engine guessing whether you do it.
Hours that disagree with Google
When the site says one thing and your Google listing says another, the customer has no way to tell which is right. Care keeps the two the same, including holiday closures.
Questions
- Who builds websites for auto repair and body shops?
- Ninewave builds websites for independent auto repair and body shops across the US: custom made, services named the way customers search, and a number that dials on every screen. Never more than $999, live nine days after your content arrives, then $99 a month for Care: required, no minimum term, free full export if you leave.
- Can customers send photos of the damage?
- Yes. On a body shop site the estimate form takes photos straight from the phone, so you can see the dent or the scrape before anyone drives over. It does not replace an inspection. It means the first conversation starts with the damage in front of you.
- Should we list prices?
- For fixed jobs such as an oil change, an inspection or brake pads, a starting price helps. For diagnostics and collision work it is better to explain how you quote: what the diagnostic fee covers and whether it comes off the repair. Either way the customer stops guessing before they call.
- We work with insurers. Should the site say so?
- Yes, if it is true. A short section on how a claim works at your shop, whether you deal with the insurer directly and what the customer should bring, answers a question collision customers have before they ever pick up the phone. We name the insurers you work with only if you want them named.
- Can the site show our certifications and the makes we specialise in?
- Yes. Any certification you hold goes on the site with the details you give us, and we never add one you cannot show us. The makes you know best get named on the page, because an owner of that car is looking for exactly that.
- Can customers book online?
- If your shop management software has online booking, the site links straight to it. If not, we start with an appointment request that lands in your inbox, and you confirm the time. The site never promises a slot you cannot keep.

Website Care is $99 a month for as long as the site is live with Ninewave. It is what keeps the site hosted, secure and updated, so it is not optional. No minimum term: end it with 30 days' notice, the site comes off our hosting and you get a full export, free.
