How does Adwave create ads for my auto repair shop?

Enter your website URL or social media profile. Adwave's AI pulls your photos, service details, branding, and key selling points to build a professional 30-second TV spot plus matching image ads and social video. You can customize everything, from the script and music to the images and call to action. It takes about two minutes.

Where will my ads be shown?

Your ads run on Facebook, Instagram, Google (YouTube and Search), Reddit, TikTok, web, mobile, and television, including 100+ premium channels such as Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, Tubi, ESPN, and local programming. You choose the geographic area. Target specific ZIP codes around your shop, a radius from your location, or your entire city.

Will TV advertising work for a local repair shop?

Absolutely. Auto repair is a trust-driven, local business, and that is where TV advertising works best. You're building name recognition with drivers in the neighborhoods around your shop so that when something goes wrong with their car, your name is the first one that comes to mind. TV also positions your shop as an established, professional operation in a way that a Google listing alone can't.

What's the minimum budget to get started?

Daily budgets start at $30/day from a prepaid wallet. You can review recommended ads without a card. New accounts get $60 starter credit (activates with a deposit within 14 days). There are no subscriptions, no contracts, and no hidden fees. Pause anytime and charges stop.

Can I promote specific services like oil changes, brakes, or diagnostics?

Yes. You can tailor your ad's script and messaging to highlight whatever services drive the most business. Run a brake special ad this month and switch to AC repair next month, or feature your full range of services in a single commercial. You can update your ad anytime.

How do I track results?

Your Adwave dashboard shows real-time data on ad views, geographic reach, channel performance, and spend. You’ll know how many households near your shop saw your ad. Many shop owners also track results by asking new customers how they heard about them.

Be the shop they trust before the light comes on

Nobody searches for a mechanic while the car is running fine. The moment something breaks, drivers go with the shop they already recognize, the automatic answer when a neighbor asks "know a good mechanic?" Adwave builds that recognition on every channel your customers use (television, Meta, Google, TikTok, Reddit, web, and mobile) from one campaign and one budget. Enter your website URL. Waverunner pulls your photos, services, and branding and builds a TV spot, image ads, and social video in about two minutes. Pick the ZIP codes around your shop, set your budget, and your ads are live on Hulu, ESPN, Peacock, Google, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok within 24 hours.

Trust fills the bays

Car owners pick a repair shop on trust above everything else. When drivers have seen you on TV, you are no longer some place on Google. You are the established local shop they feel fine handing the keys to, and your search and social ads convert better for it. One brake job or transmission repair covers months of advertising.

more likely to search for your brand after seeing your TV spot: 3x
more consumer trust in TV ads than social ads, trust your search and social ads inherit: 4x
higher brand recall with TV in the mix than digital alone: 60%
