i like the fact that your website is easy to read and go through. When trying to show too much, i get a little lost/dizzy looking at web pages.

 

So yours is clean and simple : that's what i like.

 

i know you are not done yet, is it normal that the bottom links don't work (Welcome/Schedule/Team/Managment/Map/Address/Contact Us)

 

Good Work !

Hello,

I have a new website and would appreciate any feedback you guys could give me. I actually liked the look of my old website better, but the new guy I hired said the site coding was outdated. I do plan on making changes to the content as we go along. A lot of the things that are on it I don't like from a technician's viewpoint (IE Picture of diesel injection pump, some of the services listed). He told me not to worry we will review the performance in a few months and make any changes that are necessary. My biggest obstacle is the time it takes to write the content for the website. The good thing is that it is getting the phone to ring. I am not looking for feedback on looks or graphics as these have very little to do with it's performance. I want to use the website and tailor it to bring the right customers in. As with any advertising it seems to bring in a lot of price conscious customers which can be very difficult for a shop that focuses on quality and doing the job right.

We are still building ours. Just getting use to all the new technology and social media pages. Our next step is to have the story of our family owned business added somewhere on the site. The family has been in this business since 1930 right in downtown Riverview and our newest and second location is Hancock Tire and Auto Service just north of Riverview nearer to Tampa.

This is our new website. Still needs tweaking but I would love to hear some feedback on it. I like the "My Garage" feature. Customers can set up their vehicle to receive automated emails when factory service intervals are due and they will receive a monthly newsletter with any current coupons. I also like it because it is tied in with my management software so when a ticket is completed a garage profile is automatically created for the customer and they will receive the suggested service emails and also will receive a copy of their invoice by email after they leave.

New recently

 

www.johnsplaceglenview.com

 

Bossman, looks good but a couple of critiques if I may...

 

1.www.johnsplaceglenview.com looks to be the same as www.personalizedautocare.com, I would redirect one or the other domain to the other. Or you have domain masking going on. Search engines are not crazy about that.

 

2. All your pages have the same title or Meta Title which is not great for search engines:

 

 <title>Glenview, Northbrook, Wilmette, and Winnetka Auto Repair Services | Personalized Auto Care | Glenview, IL</title>

MINI4U, nice looking site. All your pages seem to have the same Meta Title as well, which is not great for Search Engines. Looks like every web page is named:

 

<title>Botzon's Automotive. Specializing in European import service and repair. Spokane, WA</title>

But oddly, google does show a bunch of separate pages, was your site changed recently?

 

To check your site pages in google, type "site:www.botsonsauto.com" which will give you all the indexed pages. They will fall out if they all have the same title and your site will loose relevency.

 

Just a suggestion.. :D

Great thread to be revived.

 

Here is our website:

 

www.mspecperformance.com

 

Kukui made it for us. They do all of our internet marketing and CRM. We have been with them for about a year now. I am happy with the level of service and results we get. I need to update the pictures on the site, they are a little dated at this point.

Bradley that is a very very good website. There is not a lot of info in the home page just a good call to action, people are not overwelmed with who you are and what you do. 99% of everyone knows who you are and what you do already there are there to schedule an appt, get your location, or get your contact information.

xrac,

 

That is a terrible picture of me, I am young but that picture makes me look like I'm 12. I'm actually getting our website manager photographs of our shop, crew and myself. So hopefully within a couple days that will be changed.

      Got your attention? Good. The truth is, there is no such thing as the perfect technician pay plan. There are countless ways to create any pay plan. I’ve heard all the claims and opinions, and to be honest, it’s getting a little frustrating. Claims that an hourly paid pay plan cannot motivate. That flat rate is the only way to truly get the most production from your technicians. And then there’s the hybrid performance-based pay plan that many claim is the best.
      At a recent industry event, a shop owner from the Midwest boasted about his flat-rate techs and insisted that this pay plan should be adopted by all shops across the country. When I informed him that in states like New York, you cannot pay flat-rate, he was shocked. “Then how do you motivate your techs” he asked me.
      I remember the day in 1986 when I hired the best technician who ever worked for me in my 41 years as an automotive shop owner. We’ll call him Hal. When Hal reviewed my pay plan for him, and the incentive bonus document, he stared at it for a minute, looked up, and said, “Joe, this looks good, but here’s what I want.” He then wrote on top of the document the weekly salary he wanted. It was a BIG number. He went on to say, “Joe, I need to take home a certain amount of money. I have a home, a wife, two kids, and my Harly Davidson. I will work hard and produce for you. I don’t need an incentive bonus to do my work.” And he did, for the next 30 years, until the day he retired.
      Everyone is entitled to their opinion. So, here’s mine. Money is a motivator, but not the only motivator, and not the best motivator either. We have all heard this scenario, “She quit ABC Auto Center, to get a job at XYZ Auto Repair, and she’s making less money now at XYZ!” We all know that people don’t leave companies, they leave the people they work for or work with.
      With all this said, I do believe that an incentive-based pay plan can work. However, I also believe that a technician must be paid a very good base wage that is commensurate with their ability, experience, and certifications. I also believe that in addition to money, there needs to be a great benefits package. But the icing on the cake in any pay plan is the culture, mission, and vision of the company, which takes strong leadership. And let’s not forget that motivation also comes from praise, recognition, respect, and when technicians know that their work matters.
      Rather than looking for that elusive perfect pay plan, sit down with your technician. Find out what motivates them. What their goals are. Why do they get out of bed in the morning? When you tie their goals with your goals, you will have one powerful pay plan.
