Here's a simple short cut you can use to get AI bots to help you get car count. Best of all, this costs you nothing to do - and it's not about creating Coupons, Discounts or Ads! Watch this video - I'll explain it all! Hope this helps! Matthew "The Car Count Fixer"

Hey Zenoo! Glad to hear! I like the fact that you raised parts pricing; you didn't say, but you should be on a 'parts pricing matrix' so you don't leave yourself short. As for labor rate, that should probably be nudged up too. I say nudged but you don't say what it is. I don't want to bore you with details here; got some simple strategies you could use to improve all that too., Let me know how we can connect. If you want, you're welcome to book a call here: https://thecarcountfixer.com/zoom Best of luck! Matthew

So you know, I see you've got that magic 'pixy-dust-remover'... just tried it again and it's working! Nice job. I am tied up right now but going to have a look at a quick call.. I have some clients who may have an interest. Thanks! Matthew

Just out of curiosity I checked your website. The "Book a Demo" button doesn't work. Hope this helps! Matthew

Here's what I find funny about this entire conversation. It's focused on what it costs for the website- not how much it makes. Really. Isn't that what your website was supposed to do? What's better than that is, since mid 2023, Google had changed the way local search happens. So your website may be doing a great job explaining the importance of regular oil changes and tire rotations - but not to the right people. (Not to mention your website doesn't have an offer that compels them to book a job 😉 Today, if YOU can't find your shop on line - how do you expect your customer to find you? It's all about your GBP or Google Business Profile. That's where customers leave you reviews and can call you; book a job; even get current info about you. In short, look after your GBP and Google will be your biggest "referral partner". Don't do it - you're probably looking at numbered days. Instead of forking over a pile of money for a website that doesn't sell and paying for SEO that doesn't work to help your website - Just get more customer reviews! That's the human interaction that Google needs to see - that proves you're a real business and an authoriy in your market. Hope this help! Matthew

I agree 100% Shop Boost Marketing! As much as I love taking pics with my Canon R5 - I am still amazed with what I get and see from others right off their phone. And while you're at it GTA Transmission Repair, create a "naming convention" and post those simple phone pics to your GBP where they may actually do some good. When I say naming convention, don't post pictures that are just file names out of the camera- like IMAGE-1.jpg, IMAGE-2.jpg - create a naming convention so that each picture you post is names "auto-service-city-state-GTA-Transmission-Repair.jog" - essentially naming each picture using the keywords that will help your GPB (Google Business Profile) get noticed and rank. I had a peak at your GBP and when I checked, the images posted there are all generic names (typically - your shop name) and they're 5 years old! When I had a look at your GBP, you're not far from being listed in the Map Pack. Not sure why you're thinking about publishing a blog on your website, but concentrating on your GBP and more human interaction (quantity of reviews and recency of reviews) and replacing those (or adding to) those 5 year old pics would do a lot more. Good luck! Hope this helps! Matthew

Would love to explore what you're doing. If it works for you, I can shoot you a link to my Zoom calendar. Let me know what you think. Matthew

Sounds interesting. How do we connect? Would love to hear more about what you've got. Matthew

I'm sure you're seen it first hand - Google has changed search - and if you can't find your own shop when you Google "auto repair near me," your customers can't find you either. Here's what changed: Google now prioritizes "human interaction" with your Google Business Profile over everything else. So it's not about SOE and Keywords - You need real human interaction with your business. How do you get that to happen? Get customers to leave you more reviews. Google prioritizes: #1 - Quantity of reviews #2 - Recency of reviews More recent reviews from real customers proves people are actually using your business. But here's the brutal reality? The top 3 Google Maps listings are ORGANIC! That means FREE! Yes, you don't pay to get into the Google Map Pack! But when you rank there, you'll get 20x more clicks and calls than paid ads get from the same search. And by the way, those are Google's stats; not mine! But here's the sad truth about what most shop owners don't know: Getting into those top 3 spots isn't about having the most reviews. It's about having RECENT reviews with real human interaction. **[WATCH THE FULL VIDEO HERE]** You'll discover... • Why Google's algorithm favors "human interaction" over everything else • How to use our free Google Reviews Calculator to see exactly how many reviews you need to beat your competition • The simple system that gets you consistent reviews without ever asking customers **[WATCH THE FULL VIDEO HERE]** **Key highlights from this video:** 1. **Live Google search demonstration** - See exactly why some shops rank #1 while others are invisible 2. **Free Reviews Calculator** - Enter your current rating and review count to see exactly what you need to dominate your market 3. **The "Stop Asking" strategy** - Why begging for reviews kills your results (and what to do instead) Plus, grab "The Ultimate Auto Repair Shop Owner's Google Reviews CheatSheet" mentioned in the video - it shows you the exact steps to implement this system. Hope this helps! Mathew "The Car Count Fixer"

Here's the proof your competitors are stealing your customers: Google's own data shows that the #1 paid ad on a search page gets 2.1% of the clicks & calls from the entire search page. But the top 3 Google Maps listings get up to 40% of clicks and calls from that SAME search. That's 20x more clicks than expensive ads. Translation: If you're not in the Google Maps pack (top 3 local results in your market), you're invisible while your competitors get 20x more calls. Here's what makes it worse: 73% of customers only care about reviews written in the LAST MONTH. That 5-star review from last year? Worthless. And 87% won't even consider your shop unless you have at least a 3-4 star average with RECENT reviews. That's why I put together this cheat sheet "The Ultimate Auto Shop Owner's Google Reviews Cheatsheet" and it covers: • 5 simple steps to get consistent reviews • 3 mistakes that can get you banned from Google • How to turn those reviews into actual revenue **Download it now while it's still available** - I'm only sharing this with a limited number of shop owners.

Wanted to share this video, if you haven't seen it, you can actually get better results from Google search WITHOUT spending money on ads. Go figure! I lay it all out in this video: https://youtu.be/gOmboaFkp0E?si=To_rj3WXdT4-wzAh Hope this help! Matthew "The Car Count Fixer"

You said..."I heard one call and I was AMAZED. It sounded SO real. Pauses and everything. Interesting voice even." You're 100% right! In fact, I just heard comments where coaches were talking about the fact that, TODAY, if given the choice between talking to a real human or AI Bot... you would pick a "real person" - but it's thought that inside of a few years, that's going to change. I know what we're doing with simple automations today, I'm surprised... and I'm setting them up!

Yes, there are some real simple solutions - but instead of typing the options all out and asking you to read everything, it would be so much faster if we could jump on a call and figure out what you've got and how to shoehorn the right solution in. Let me know. Thanks! Matthew

If you're ready to skyrocket your car count so that you can finally make the money you know you and your family deserves, you're in the right place, because it's never been easier to grow your repair shop, as long as you have the right offers and deals to attract customers. But I will warn you if you make the same flimsy and lame offers that are just like your competitors, you’re actually making it harder to grow than it ever has been before. Because I want to make this easy, you’re lucky. Right now I’m starting a brand new Private Case Study Group where I will help 3 repair shops deploy my “Perfect Offer Formula” that lets you generate car count immediately, and if you start today, you can do it before Mother’s Day (May 11, 2025) and continue to do that month after month. The best part is, you’ll do it all without ever discounting your prices, adding free services, or tossing in Give-a-Ways that only attract the bottom feeders and car owners without money. In this case study, I’m going to give you the exact formula that you need so you can grow quicker without wasting time trying to figure out how to get car count and what to do next or what offers you should run this month. Look, there’s only three reasons you’re not getting the car count you want right now… #1) Either you don’t have a compelling offer that focuses on value -not price #2) Your offers are just plain terrible and they aren’t what people want or need. Or #3) You don’t have the correct packaging or (as we call them, wrappers) for your offer. What I see a lot of repair shops do is they literally just use flimsy lame offers that look just like what your competitor is doing… Or they try to duplicate offers the big box auto repair shops are making… Or they continue to discount their prices… trying to come up with that secret formula that makes some phony illusion of a great deal. But all of that is just a race to the bottom. This private case study program's going to solve all of that for you because I'm not only going to literally take you by the hand and show you everything that you need to do, I’m actually going to do it for you! And this doesn’t matter if you don’t think you can do it, or you’re not good with that math and calculating prices, or even if the last offer or ad you ran was a total big fat loss! We're actually going to be working together. And I'm literally going to tell you everything you need to do, starting from you spending 20 minutes setting up your pricing profile, Then I’ll build out your personalized plan, I’ll be tweaking things and helping you decide exactly what offer to create, and then do all the heavy lifting to create the three Value Wrappers… that make your offer stand out in your market; get car owners to stop and see your offer; then book their job immediately…(not next week, next month, or when they get around to it!) and much, much more And then after that, you're going to get 30 days of check-ins where you can ask me questions. I'll ask you to share your sales statistics and analytics so that we can improve them. I'll send you new ideas for the other 3 Perfect Power Offer Strategies that are proven to work, and even do so much more, and by the end of that, you’ll have the complete “Perfect Offer Program” that will let you stop chasing car count once and for all! And since I'm going to be coaching you throughout this program for your specific account, know that it doesn't matter what market you’re in; it doesn’t matter if you don’t have one of those fancy main street locations; and it doesn't matter how much marketing experience you have because I'm literally going to be meeting you exactly where you are. No matter what you need, I'm going to help you do that. If you need better wrappers (to actually get people to see your offer), I'm going to help you do that. If you need help putting your perfect offer together, I'm going to tell you exactly how you should be doing that differently so that you can skyrocket your car count. In just the past few months, the typical repair shop that's gone through this program has grown their car count within 15 days of starting, and nobody has ever gained less than 10 new jobs the first month if they implement everything that I show them to do continually. (Your results may vary, depending on how well you follow our directions) Now, there is one catch. Actually, there’s three catches. #1- This is a nationally advertised program across United States and Canada, and it’s limited to only 3 qualified repair shops. #2- This private case study group is limited to only one repair shop per market. In other words, I won’t compete against myself. #3- This may be the last time I offer this Exclusive One-on-One Case Study Opportunity to grow your car count immediately - because I'm still only one person, so I can only work with so many shop owners. The longer you wait to grow your car count, the harder it's going to get started. Please do not make the mistake that I made, which I literally regret every single day. That is that I didn't start growing car count earlier when I was a shop owner. Car count is the solution to just about every auto shop problem. So if you don't sign up right now, it could decrease the odds that we can actually work together, because once we get the three shops we’re looking for, I'm going to have to shut this opportunity down. That just means it's going to be even harder to grow your car count. Remember, nobody else can provide and guarantee you results before Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11, 2025, so please stop procrastinating. Go below, register right now. I cannot wait to help you hit your goals because at the end of the day, you actually have nothing to lose. I'm literally going to tell you everything that you need to do. You are going to implement it, and you're going to get the results that you want, period. And oh, in case you’re wondering, there’s no money back guarantee… because this is a totally FREE Case Study Group. That means there's zero risk to you if you sign up right now while you still can. https://thecarcountfixer.com/go Hope this helps! See you in the case study group! Matthew "The Car Count Fixer"

Do you find your shop doesn’t even come up on Google search like the big shops or chains and delivering great customer service is hard, especially when you’re busy or short staffed?

Hey Zenas! Congratulations on your shop! I remember those days! Look, I could talk and write and talk for days, but the fact is you need a simple strategy that doesn’t take you away from what you do best - and what you do best is “fix cars!” It’s not about tactics! It’s about a strategy. It’s not about sneaky ways of covering up prices - it’s about showing people who you are. I hate to do this because I’m moving (digitally) so if you wait, this link will go away. https://carcounthackers.com/zoom/ check this out and book a totally free strategy call with me. I don’t have anything to sell you, so you can sit on you wallet - but I promise I’ll show you the strategy. In short, you’ve got to make more offers. Offers = Car count. No Car Count. No Business. I’ll show you the strategy and make it dead simple. You’ll do it once and then just rinse and repeat! Go ahead and book a call. Matthew “The Car Count Fixer”

Welcome! Hope everyone had a great holiday and Christmas! It’s been a struggle around here but that’s only because I had to bite the bullet and move! So now, I’m proud to say that we’ve moved… well, digitally that is. Unfortunately, most of my old links and links on YouTube videos are going to evaporate! But wait, there’s more! And the “more” part of that statement is pretty crazy! I wanted to start 2025 with a splash, (so you may want to take a step back to avoid the splash!) Because of our new digital home and the fact that Google search has made huge changes in what you get whenever you search, we’re starting 2025 with a brand new service. With almost 2 decades in website design, development and hosting, auto repair shops can now get their website done for FREE! When I say “done”, I mean “done”. Qualified auto repair shops never pay for website design, development or hosting… EVER! What’s a qualified repair shop? You have to have a customer list of more than 200 customers. So if you’ve read this far, I know you’re sitting back and saying “there’s got to be a catch.”, right? I don’t want to keep you, so click the link and visit my new website and I’ll fill you in there. Can’t wait to meet you! Matthew “The Car Count Fixer” What’s a qualified repair shop? You have to have a customer list of more than 200 customers.

Good info! Thanks for sharing. Actually, never thought about it... the "Virtual Shop Tour"! Like that would be difficult... uh... start with... "Take out your phone, press record". So simple - potentially so effective... and what a great way to demonstrate who you are - what you do - and it can all be on a YouTube short - so that's a minute! Look, I know you've got a lot to say about your shop... but edit it do who we are... what we do... and why we're the best and you're done! Now, most guys won't want to hear this... but script it... you don't have to do record it word for word... but at least an outline. Then record it 2 or 3 times... you'll get better every time... and the viewer will see it. Great info! Just press record! Happy Car Counting! Matthew "The Car Count Fixer"

Effective? Absolutely! And like you said, when you think about it, social media is really the same - it’s word of mouth. And yes, it's really strong and effective! Just look at some of the stats! You’re also correct about building strong relationships too! The only change we’re seeing is that it helps (lots!) when you provide incentives or rewards. After all, everyone is listening to the same radio station WIFM… “What’s In it For Me?” When you think about it, you’re going to buy your customers. So you can pay for a bunch of advertising… or just share some rewards with your customers. When you refer a friend, I’ll give you “X”. Besides, you won’t believe how far a $10 or $20 Subway gift card goes! Really! Just take the reward “outside” of your business, In other words, the reward can’t be a discount off your next service. It’s something OUTSIDE of your business - something they wouldn’t typically get - and it doesn’t have to be really expensive! Happy Car Counting! Hope this helps! Matthew “The Car Count Fixer”

Frankly, I’m puzzled. This was a totally free LIVE event I hosted and there was even time for a live Q&A at the end. Responded to all questions, thank you to anyone who asked. The total training was about an hour and contained a slide deck of 320+ slides; so it was detailed. I was surprised when your first post was “Anyone got the 3 sentence or less summary?” My response detailed everything,.,, and I took the liberty of stretching to 4 sentences. Afterall, like I said, it was a one hour presentation! I appreciate your response to that where you said: “Thanks.”... followed by”What works exactly?” The live presentation took an hour and 320+ slides to explain it to all (I think 22) that attended. So being that I don’t have an hour to respond, what part is it I should explain? -The part about the way to create offers that are structured on VALUE, not price (so shop owners don’t discount or toss in free services or give-a-ways)? -Or the part about the fact that you don’t have to fork over thousands of dollars UP FRONT to create ads or postcards (that capture new customers at a cost of $140 each - That’s the shop owners details I took a screenshot of from a forum.) -Or the part about shop owners don’t have to spend a dime to acquire the new customer until that new customer is in their shop? (So there's no guess work!) -Or the part that it works even if everything you’ve done before was a flop; or you operate with a shoestring budget and think it’s too risky to layout all that money (in the range of $3,000+ as per examples provided on the training) or you don't think your shop is big enough to compete with the big box repair shops, franchised or chain operated shops, or even new car dealers? -Or the part about the delivery system that guarantees response? or, the fact that nobody else can do it? The response was so good I’m thinking about turning it into an “On Demand Training Course”. I’ll try to post it back here if I do that. Thanks for your interest! Matthew “The Car Count Fixer”
