November 22, 2011 – Since 2005, Repair Shop Websites has been providing a professional online presence to automotive repair shops across the nation. Today over 2,000 shop owners rely on Repair Shop Websites to deliver an effective, trouble free website. The website company has grown at a rapid pace, and is excited to serve each customer with no contracts or long term commitments!

On November 22, 2011, Protek Auto of Poland, OH (www.protekautorepair.com) became the 2,000th active customer to trust Repair Shop Websites for web services.

Since the launch of Repair Shop Websites in 2005, more and more people are using the Internet to make everyday decisions. While consumers are still frequenting auto repair shops to keep their cars on the road longer, they are searching for shops online and making decisions based on what they find on the Internet.

Repair Shop Websites has developed their product based on understanding what repair shops need and what their customers want. One of the unique aspects of Repair Shop Websites is that they completely manage all 2,000 plus websites and make updates at no additional charge. This benefit allows shop owners to focus on what’s happening under the hood of their customers’ vehicles and on the day to day operations of their business.

“For us, meeting the needs and wants of our customers has played a key part in our success. We make it easier on our customers because we know what works and what doesn’t work — so they don’t have to go in alone on the Internet,” says Vice President, Richard Benbow. “Also, at Repair Shop Websites, customer service is the number one priority. We listen to feedback and are constantly improving our product at no additional cost to our customers. In fact, we have never raised our price to a single customer. From the very beginning, our business model was built on managing thousands of shops, and that is one of our key strengths. We specialize in the automotive industry and provide the expertise an independent web designer just can’t offer. The independent designer may have a few dozen customers in fields as varied as florists to fast food restaurants. They just can’t provide the content, graphics & design features — let alone make changes and update the website as new design trends come along — for our low one-price-covers-all plan.”

Repair Shop Websites has no plans to slow down now that they have hit the 2,000 customer mark. They continue to make new feature announcements, including their latest offering, Search Engine Marketing. Visit www.repairshopwebsites.com to learn more about the growing North Carolina based company.

An auto repair shop owner’s time is limited because of today’s demand in the industry, which is why Repair shop Websites is always looking for ways to help.  Not only does Repair Shop Websites manage their sites, but a new tool has been developed for shops to correspond with customers with minimal effort.

The new service is called Endless Referrals, and repair shops use it to communicate with their customers.
 
Through websites powered by Repair Shop Websites, garage owners can easily touch base with their customers throughout the year for occasions such as holiday greetings, seasonal reminders, and for referring your business to others. The new tool offers automatic emails for customers about service reminder as well as a referral feature. This is not an aggressive email campaign, but just the opposite.  We help bring your business to the mind of customers so they look to you when service is needed.

Our customer service team would be glad to answer any questions you have about Endless Referrals. Please call 1-866-665-1605 to speak to them!

Ken Hite, Vice President of Corporate Strategy at ClearMechanic, notes that, “Repair Shop Websites provides a unique opportunity to work with a multitude of repair facilities. Our core philosophy at ClearMechanic is to address the primary concerns cited by consumers for not returning to a repair facility: 1) trust; 2) lack of communication between the repair facility and the consumer; and 3) lack of understanding by the consumer as to what the repair facility is recommending for repair.” Hite added, “Repair Shop Websites and ClearMechanic will work collectively to provide for transparency in automotive repair and validate repair recommendations with real time photos.”

A recent study done by Sageworks, a company that focuses on developing financial analysis tools for private companies, has gathered data that indicates the seven industries that have experienced above-average sales.  Auto repair shops, as one of the seven succeeding industries, have seen an average of 2.4 percent increase of sales over the past 12 months.

This growth can partly be accredited to the economy and people focusing on fixing their older automotives rather than purchasing new vehicles.  While the automotive repair shops are aiding car owners during the recession, RSW and BSW are reaching out to auto repair and body shop owners.  The two brands offer a highly valued web-solution for owners to accommodate their growing customer base.

The websites offer key benefits such as leveling the playing field with new car dealerships and giving competitive advantage over local shops without websites.  The RSW and BSW’s customized websites help owners to expand and diversify their client base through 24×7 advertising.  There has never been a quicker, easier, or more affordable service for a shop owner to gain credibility and visibility.

The RSW and BSW brands produce professional and inexpensive sites customized for shop owners in the auto repair industry nationwide to enhance their interaction and exposure with new and potential clients. With today’s dependency on the internet, RSW and BSW products are wise investments for shop owners.

Marty Adams, Josh Burtis, Justin Deiss, Jason Edick, Mary Gelfand, Robert Goldsobel, Matthew Healy and Toyia Henery are the eight additions to WingSwept.  All with impressive past experience, they each have something unique to bring to the table and are excited to grow with WingSwept.

“We work together to achieve our goals and we have a terrific product,” says Robert Goldsobel, one of the newly appointed Account Executives.  “It makes sense in today’s economy to be careful where you promote your business. Our websites are money well spent for our customers and they stay with us because they see the results.”
