Website check
Does your website pass the eight basics?
We checked 6,108 auto repair websites against eight ordinary basics. Only 39 got all eight right. Go through the same eight on your own site - every check works from your phone, and your answers stay on this page.
-
Can a customer call you by tapping your number?
Open your website on your phone and tap your phone number. It should offer to start a call straight away.
43.5% of the 6,428 auto repair websites we checked had no tap-to-call link. Read the research
-
Does your browser treat your site as secure?
Open your website and look at the left end of the address bar. A padlock or a settings icon means yes. The words "Not secure" mean no.
18.2% of the 6,382 auto repair websites we checked did not use a secure address. Read the research
-
Does a preview appear when your link is shared?
Text your website address to yourself. A picture with your business name under the link means yes. Just the address, or only a small icon, means no.
31% of the 6,382 auto repair homepages we checked had nothing prepared for a shared link. Read the research
-
Does your homepage explain what you do in a few paragraphs?
Read only the text on your homepage, not the menu or the buttons. About 200 words is roughly 12 to 15 full sentences.
24.8% of the 6,382 auto repair homepages we checked had fewer than 200 words. Read the research
-
Does your homepage have one main heading?
Look for one large headline near the top that says what you do. That is usually the main heading in the code, but only the code can confirm it - choose "Not sure" if you cannot tell.
29.7% of the 6,428 auto repair websites we checked had no main heading detected. Read the research
-
Is Google Analytics or a Facebook Pixel set up on your site?
If you, or whoever runs your site, can log in to Google Analytics or Meta and see your website visitors, that is a yes. The built-in stats in Wix or Squarespace do not count here.
69.7% of the 6,382 auto repair websites we checked had neither. Read the research
-
Does your homepage show its main content within 2.5 seconds?
Paste your address into PageSpeed Insights. On the mobile tab, find "Largest Contentful Paint". Under 2.5 seconds means yes.
The typical auto repair website we checked took seven seconds to show its main content, across 5,456 websites. Read the research
-
Does your site describe your business to search engines in code?
Paste your address into the Schema Markup Validator. If it lists anything it detected, that is a yes. If it finds nothing, that is a no.
39.4% of the 6,428 auto repair websites we checked had nothing machine-readable about the business. Read the research

Where you sit among 6,108 auto repair websites
What is missing
Do not try to fix everything at once. Start with the one a customer would notice first, usually the tappable phone number or how long the page takes.
Worth checking
Want us to go through them with you?
On a thirty-minute call we look at what is missing, which of it is worth fixing first, and what your local competitors are doing. Your answers are filled into the booking form so we can start from there - change or delete them before you book, it is up to you.
Where the comparison comes from
The eight basics and the 6,108 websites come from our research Thirty-nine out of six thousand: auto repair websites we analyzed in 2026, each scored against all eight at once.
An honest limitation: those are the businesses we chose to analyze, not a random sample of every local business. The eight are not equally serious. Passing all eight does not make a website good, and missing one does not make it bad. Your answers are your own reading of your site, not a measurement. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you book a call and keep them in the booking form.
