Growth marketing for auto mechanics.
For auto repair shops who want results in weeks, not a year-long transformation programme.
Where auto repair shops actually lose hours and dollars.
Mechanics quote from underneath a car and answer the phone from underneath a car, and one of those always loses.
Booking, quoting, and parts follow-up are the admin layer that decides how many cars a workshop can turn over in a week.
Reminders timed to each car's WoF, which from 1 November 2026 moves to every two years for many 4 to 14 year old vehicles.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Marketing tied to booked work and paid invoices, not clicks, so you know which town and which channel actually pays.

Straight answers
Anyone else in this space using growth marketing?
Plenty. A weekly number you can act on, not a monthly slide deck. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Is growth marketing worth it for a smaller auto repair shop?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
Will it work alongside Fergus or Tradify?
We build around the tools you already run instead of replacing them. Fergus and Tradify are both job management tools built in New Zealand for trades.
