Frequently asked questions
- What is the most common garage website mistake?
- No clear call to action. Many garage sites list services but make it hard to book or call. Every page should have a visible phone number and booking button.
- Should I list prices on my website?
- Where you can, yes. MOT test fees are fixed nationally, so there is no reason to hide them. Service pricing can be shown as 'from' prices to set expectations without locking you in.
