Can I keep my current domain name and phone number on the new site?

Yes. Your domain transfers over and everything stays the same from the customer's perspective. They'll just land on a site that actually works now.

What if I don't have before-and-after photos of my repair work yet?

Start taking them now — even phone photos work. We can build the gallery section so it's ready when you are. A few good shots of real jobs you've done go a long way.

Will customers actually be able to book appointments through the site?

We build in a request form that sends straight to your email or phone. It's not a full scheduling system with time slots — it's a simple form that gets the conversation started. For most shops, that's all you need.

How does owning the code work compared to what I have now?

Right now you're probably on a platform where you stop paying and your site disappears. With us, you get the actual website files. If you ever want to move to a different host or hire someone else to update it, you can. It's yours.

Do I need the SEO package or just the website redesign?

Depends on how much you rely on people finding you online versus word of mouth. If you want to show up in Google searches for auto repair in the Alto and Cherokee County area, the SEO package is worth it. If most of your business is referral-based and you just need a professional site to point people to, the standard redesign works fine.

Your Alto Auto Repair Shop Deserves a Better Website

Most auto repair shops in a town like Alto don't lose customers because of bad work. They lose them because nobody can find their hours, their services, or a way to schedule anything. Your website should be fixing that problem, not adding to it.

An Honest Problem Nobody Talks About in Small-Town Auto Repair

Here's a take that might sting: if you run an auto repair shop in Alto and your website looks like it was thrown together on some drag-and-drop platform four years ago, you're basically invisible to anyone who didn't already know your name. Cherokee County has people driving through on 69 and 21 all the time. Trucks break down. Folks new to the area need a mechanic. And what do they do? They search on their phone.

So what happens when they land on your site and the text is tiny, the menu doesn't work right, and there's no clear list of what you actually do? They leave. They find the next shop. Doesn't matter that you've got the certifications, the lift, and the know-how. If your site can't communicate that in about five seconds on a phone screen, it's working against you.

And the template platforms make it worse. You're locked into their layout. You can't add a real appointment request form without some janky workaround. You can't show before-and-after photos of your work in a way that actually looks good. You're paying monthly for something you don't even own. That's the part that gets under our skin — you should own your website the way you own your tools. Outright. No subscriptions to keep it alive.

What a Rebuilt Site Actually Does for a Shop in Alto

We tear the old thing down and start fresh. Mobile-first — meaning we design for the phone screen before the desktop, because that's how most people will find you. Fast loading, even on spotty rural connections. Real SEO structure so Google actually knows you're an auto repair shop in Alto and not just some generic business page floating in the void.

But the details matter more than the buzzwords. You need a service menu that's easy to scan — oil changes, brake work, diagnostics, transmission, whatever you offer. Pricing if you want it there. A simple way for someone to request an appointment or ask about drop-off. Before-and-after photos that show the quality of your work, because nothing sells a repair shop like proof. And your certifications and experience front-loaded where people can see them without digging.

A full website redesign starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. If you want search engine work baked in from day one — so you're showing up when someone types "mechanic near Alto TX" — that's the website plus SEO package starting at $3,500, done in one to two weeks. Hosting runs $50 a month after that. No platform lock-in. You get the actual code. You own it.
