Advertising for Auto Repair Shops
Auto Repair Advertising on TV, Social & Search
When the check engine light comes on, drivers call the shop they already know. Adwave makes sure that's you, professional ads on TV, Meta, Google, TikTok, and more, with daily budgets from $30/day.
Start with your website
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. Adwave 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.
