Web design for auto repair and detailing
Astra Labs designs custom websites for independent garages, mobile mechanics, auto electricians, collision and body shops, wheel refurbishers, detailers and paint protection, ceramic coating and window tint installers. The whole site is $499 one time for up to five pages, paid as $99 to start and $400 once you love it, before it goes live. It opens on your own bay and your own reels, prices work by vehicle the way you already do, and sends a booking or quote straight to where you take them today.
We read what 20 garages, body shops, wheel shops and detailers sell, how they price it and what their sites showed, before designing for each of them. Here is what their customers needed, drawn from that work.
A warning light on the dash, a grinding brake, a scraped bumper, a dog hair carpet. The garages and body shops in this group explain work in parts and services, but customers arrive describing what they see. Let them pick that first, then show what you do about it.
Most detailers here already price by size: a car, an SUV, a truck, sometimes a van. Several published full menus, from a basic valet up to multi-year ceramic coatings, and one mobile mechanic published a flat brake job per axle. A picker that reprices every package for the visitor's vehicle answers the first question before it is asked.
Every one of these businesses had real photos or clips of its work, and many had dozens of reels: foam washes, cut and polish under hex lights, film going onto a bonnet, a lathe cutting a wheel. Stock pictures of someone else's sports car tell the visitor nothing about you.
Paint protection film, ceramic coatings and window tint are sold in packages with names that mean little to a new customer. Show what each layer does, how long it lasts and which films or coatings you are certified to fit, with a car you actually finished.
Mobile detailers and mechanics come to the driveway, studios work in a climate-controlled bay, a heavy vehicle workshop runs a breakdown line through the night. Make the where and when clear on the first screen, with your opening hours or call-out line next to it.
This group booked through many different tools: online schedulers, deposit systems, a workshop booking platform, a messaging bot, their own booking page. The new site should send customers into the same place, so nothing changes behind the counter.
The group covers the garages, mobile mechanics, body and wheel shops, detailers and film installers we designed for in October 2026: 9 in the US, 4 in Australia, 3 in the UK, 3 in Canada and one in Ireland. On 1 November 2026 we loaded each homepage again as a phone. These are small numbers, so take them as a careful look at real sites rather than a measure of the trade.
This group showed one of the widest gaps we found between the real material a business had and what its website showed. Every business had its own photos or reels, yet 16 of the 19 sites we could review opened on stock images: a generic engine, a stranger's supercar, hands that were not theirs. One detailing site used other channels' wheel videos as its hero film. One mechanic's site was an unchanged free template. One hometown garage had no website at all, only a Facebook page, despite years of shop photos and a clear price list.
The sites themselves ranged widely, from a recent custom 3D build to Elementor templates, Squarespace, Webflow, Duda, GoHighLevel and two hand-built React sites. A few carried leftovers from the theme they started from, such as placeholder team members, products from a demo parts shop or a template's welcome line. Several had good booking systems and clear published prices that deserved a better front page.
Method: our review notes describe each old site in writing; we counted notes that mention stock or generated images and placeholder or demo content. Phone checks opened each homepage once at 390 pixels wide. See the full method.
None of these businesses asked to be named, so we describe the trade and region only. Every design used the shop's own photos, reels, prices and words.
Every auto site we make includes these, then one idea that only fits your shop.
Car, SUV, truck or van, and every package on the page shows the price for that vehicle.
A drawn car or dashboard where drivers point to the problem and land on the right service.
Portrait phone clips cut past their captions and played in bays or tall frames, never stretched.
The booking or deposit system you use today gets its own button on every package, at no extra cost.
A ready message with the car, the job and the town, waiting for their photos of the scratch or the stain.
Seasonal offers, new packages and finished cars updated from your phone in the dashboard.
The same price for a single mobile van and a four bay workshop. A $99 payment starts the design. The other $400 is due once you love the finished site, before it goes live.
One time, split in two. No contract and no monthly fee unless you choose our hosting.
We keep working on it with you until it is right. If it still is not, every dollar is refunded.
With Astra Labs, $499 one time for up to five pages: $99 to start and $400 when you love it, before it goes live. Five more pages cost $149, and hosting with us is optional at $30 a month.
Yes. The visitor picks their vehicle once and every package on the page shows its price for that size, from your own menu. You can change prices yourself from the dashboard.
No. Your current booking or deposit system gets a button on the new site, so bookings and deposits keep landing exactly where they do today. If you have no system, live booking with deposits to your own account is $149.
Yes, they are usually the best proof a detailer or workshop has. We cut short silent loops from your clips, trim burnt-in captions where we can and size them for phones so the page stays light.
Your existing tyre search or parts shop can be linked from the site as it is. Live stock feeds built into the new design are quoted separately, so we never promise them inside the $499.
That is the simplest case. We register a domain in your name, with the first year on us, build the site from your Facebook photos and prices, and link your Facebook page and Google listing to it.
Put it on the front page. $499 for the complete site, $99 to start.
