Sample designs
Six Zarla designs, shown for made-up auto repair businesses, from an independent shop and a European specialist to a fleet shop and two mobile mechanics. Start from one and the AI rewrites it around yours, or let your brief decide.
Independent shop · book a service
A 'Book a Service' form beside 'The Mechanic You Can Actually Trust', 'Everything Your Car Needs, Priced Honestly' with a starting price on each of eight services, and 'Simple, Honest, No Surprises' from 'Book or Drop In' to 'Fixed Right, Guaranteed', for the shop that wins on trust.
European specialist · the dealer alternative
'Dealer-Level Care — European Auto Repair in Scottsdale, AZ' with 'Book Service' and 'See Our Marques', 'Marques We Specialize In' with 'BMW Service & Repair', 'Mercedes-Benz Service' and 'Porsche Service', and 'Why Owners Leave the Dealer for Us', for the specialist taking work from the dealer.
Transmission specialist · free estimate
'Your Transmission, Rebuilt to Last — Transmission Repair in Houston, TX' on a dark first screen with 'Get a Free Estimate', 'Transmissions are all we do' and 'Why Drivers Choose a Specialist', for the shop that does one expensive job well.
Fleet shop · accounts, not bookings
'Fleet Maintenance in Columbus, OH' as a type statement with 'Request Fleet Service', 'Built Around Fleet Uptime' with 'One Number, One Invoice' and '24/7 Roadside', and 'Why Fleets Trust Us With Their Uptime', for the shop that keeps company vehicles on the road.
Mobile mechanic · free quote
A 'Get a Free Quote' form centered under 'Skip the Shop — A Mobile Mechanic in Austin, TX', 'What We Fix at Your Place' and 'Serving Greater Austin, Right Where You Are' with 'Check your area', for the mechanic who comes to the driveway.
Mobile mechanic · starting prices
'Mobile Auto Repair in Louisville, KY' with 'Book A Mechanic', 'Starting Prices, Parts Included' from a 'Diagnostic Visit', 'What We Need From You' and 'Where Our Vans Go', for the van-based mechanic who books by the slot.
The checklist
What a good auto repair website is laid out like, from the first screen down: six things it needs to turn a driver with a warning light into a booked appointment, each shown on one of Zarla's designs.
A driver with a noise or a warning light wants a time, not a conversation. Next to the headline, a short request form takes the car, the symptom and when they'd like it looked at, and the call button sits beside it for the breakdown; if you'd rather they pick a slot themselves, add online booking, which syncs to your calendar and can take a deposit. For the bigger jobs, a quote request asks for the make, model and symptoms, so the estimate you send back is based on the car, not a guess.
A common reason drivers put off trying a new shop is not knowing what the bill will be. List the jobs drivers search for, oil changes, brakes, diagnostics, tires and alignment, AC, the check engine light, and put a 'from' price beside each one you can stand behind, with a line saying the exact price is agreed before work starts. Then show the steps: book or drop in, the diagnosis, the estimate, the repair.
For a big repair, say how the estimate works: free or not, written, and approved by the customer before you pick up a tool. Then the paperwork. In the US there's no federal mechanic license, but several states, California, New York and Connecticut among them, require the repair shop itself to be registered; show your registration number where your state asks for it, and check with your state's motor vehicle or consumer affairs agency for the rules where you work.
A driver with a seven-year-old BMW is choosing between the dealer and someone who knows the car. If you specialize, name the makes in the first screen, with a page per make, then say plainly why owners switch: the same diagnostic tools and parts, a lower labor rate, a person they can talk to. A shop that fixes everything can still list the makes it sees most.
Whether you'll drive to them is the first thing a mobile customer checks, so answer it in the first screen with a check-your-address box or a map of the towns your van covers. Say what the call-out or diagnostic visit costs, what you can fix on the driveway and what needs a shop, and what you need on arrival: a flat spot, the keys, room to work. The booking form has to work one-handed on a phone, because the customer may be standing beside the car.
A fleet manager isn't booking an oil change; they're choosing who keeps twenty vans on the road. Give fleets their own page with a request form that asks how many vehicles and what types, say how preventive maintenance is scheduled, who answers out of hours and how billing works, and put 'Set up a fleet account' where a driver's page would put 'Book'.
Process and turnaround
For comparison, from the pages of the agencies and platforms that build auto repair sites: 4 to 7 weeks for a medium-complexity shop site at an agency with a US office in Indiana, a few weeks for a basic site at an auto repair marketing agency, 'ready in days' at a shop-software company's website service, 'instantly built' on the dealer and shop website platform's auto-shop page, and no timeline at the other marketing agency.
Finish one sentence about your shop: the work you do, the makes you know and the area you cover, or the towns your van goes to.

The honest part
Zarla does the design part of an agency's job with AI. Here's what you'd still be paying people for.
Zarla partners are independent agencies and freelancers who build on Zarla and do the marketing work: SEO, ads and growth. The AI does the design; a person does the rest.
Browse Zarla partners →No. Zarla is AI. It does the design part of an agency's job, the layout, words, pages and forms, from a one-sentence brief. There's no designer on the other end. If you want a person for marketing or SEO, Zarla partners are independent agencies and freelancers who work on Zarla sites.
The agencies and platforms that publish prices for auto repair sites charge $1,699 for a fixed-scope site plus $699 a month for updates at an agency with a US office in Indiana, which separately estimates $2,800 to $4,800 for a medium-complexity shop site, and $39 a month or $390 a year at a website platform for dealers and shops; the two auto repair marketing agencies and the shop-software company publish no website price (one quotes on request). Designing and previewing on Zarla is free; you choose a Premium or Business plan when you publish.
A booking form and your phone number in the first screen, your services with a starting price, how estimates work, the makes you know best, your hours, the map, your Google reviews and, where your state asks, your shop registration number. In the US, several states require repair shops to register, so check with your state's motor vehicle or consumer affairs agency. Zarla adds service, make and town pages from your brief, up to your plan's page limit. Customers can attach up to five photos of the job to the form, so you can often price it from the photos instead of a site visit. The form doesn't work out a price for you — you read the request and quote it yourself.
An agency with a US office in Indiana says 4 to 7 weeks for a medium-complexity shop site, an auto repair marketing agency says a few weeks for a basic site, a shop-software company's website service says ready in days, and the dealer and shop website platform says 'instantly built'. Zarla's first design takes about 30 seconds; after your changes, you can publish the same day on a paid plan.
Yes. Customers book appointments or service calls from your website; bookings sync to Google Calendar, and you can take a deposit or full payment through your own Stripe account. Open the times you take drop-offs, or a mobile mechanic's van slots, the same way.
Yes. Send a quote as one link: your customer picks an option, ticks any extras and accepts it online, and Zarla drafts the invoice for exactly what they chose, with any deposit you asked for. Put the repair and an optional extra, such as new rotors with the pads, as choices, and the customer approves it on their phone before you start.
Yes. Two of the six designs above are mobile mechanics' sites, and the brief can say the towns your van covers, so Zarla adds a page for each, up to your plan's page limit. Turn on the WhatsApp button too. A WhatsApp chat button on every published page: switch it on from the Apps page, enter your number, and visitors open a WhatsApp chat with you; taps are counted in analytics. A driver can send a photo of the warning light from beside the car.
Yes. Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built.
Finish the sentence with your town. Zarla's AI designs your site from it.
