Any Ideas on How to Market for a Mechanic?
29
HI Guys,
I recently found a mechanic through a social media site. He is a 20+ year mechanic at a local Honda dealer. He has a auto shop setup in his backyard (lift and almost all tools needed for most repairs). I went to him in December to get my Honda van fixed (timing belt [all belts and spark plugs], front brakes/axle, power steering pump). He did an excellent job and all in one day. He only gets referrals by word of mouth. I wanted to help him market his services to where we can both benefit. He said he would "hook me up" if I get him referrals. But, I'd rather get paid for my services and get him steady business. My main selling points:
*parts are genuine Honda and below cost of dealer
*can work on all Japanese cars and will look at other makes as well
*labor is HALF
*amazingly nice guy to deal with (the type that will pick you up if you get stuck on the road)
*can get job done much faster
*additional discount if multiple repairs done
*it's done at his home, so you can even watch and ask questions if you like
My question is:
What kind of marketing would you use, how much would you charge, would it be per lead, etc.? I would think most customers would be lifetime or do multiple repairs.
Thanks.
