Tuesday, 9:12pm. "How much for a logbook service?"

Matt runs Northside Auto in Kedron, Brisbane, with Kel on the front counter. Jess has never been in. Her Corolla's service light came on on the way home. This is how one Facebook question turns into a booked service, a repair she said yes to, and a review.

Northside Auto, Matt, Kel and Jess are made up to show how it works
9:12pmTuesday

The question every workshop gets, after the roller door's down.

Jess messages Northside Auto on Facebook. It lands in your LocalGenius inbox next to the Instagram messages, the website chat from your Brakes page and the clutch quote request by email, each one marked with where it came from.

  • Facebook, Instagram, website chat, forms and email in one inbox
  • Nobody has to answer from the couch

Kel answers with your services page and your booking link.

What's in a logbook service and how you price it are already on your Logbook servicing page, in your words. Kel taps two saved replies before the first car's on the hoist, and it goes back on Facebook. Jess books Friday 8am in the booking system you already use.

Found something on the hoist? Quote it from there.

Mid-service, Matt spots the top radiator hose cracking. He snaps a photo and makes a quote from Jess's enquiry: items from your saved list, GST worked out, the photo on top. She gets it by text, taps Accept, and it's done the same day. At 3:40pm your workshop software sends the car-ready text, the way it always has.

Picked up Friday. Five stars by Saturday morning.

The morning after she collects the car, LocalGenius sends Jess a review request by text. Her review lands on your Google profile, next to your hours, your Book button and the photos from the workshop. The next person searching "mechanic Kedron" reads it first.

  • Review requests by text or email, sent when you say

Hi Jess, hope the Corolla's running sweet! If you've got a minute, a Google review would really help a small local workshop. Thanks, Matt at Northside Auto

Messaged on a Tuesday night, booked by Wednesday morning. They found a cracked hose, sent me a photo and the price before touching it, and had the car back that afternoon. No surprises on the bill.

Reply from the owner · Thanks Jess! See you at 70,000. Matt

Your pages

A page for every job they search for.

Nobody searches "automotive services". They search "logbook service Kedron", "brakes squealing" and "tyres near me". Each of those gets its own page, in your words, with your Book a service button, and you approve every one.

    Questions

    What mechanics ask us.

    $29.99 a month to start

    Four plans, from a simple website to fully managed. Free domain for the first year.

    See all plans →
    Does LocalGenius take our bookings?

    No. Your Book a service button opens the booking you already use, like MechanicDesk, Workshop Software or your own booking link. The diary, job cards, invoices and car-ready texts stay in your workshop software.

    Do we have to put our prices on the website?

    Only if you want to. Your Logbook servicing page has a spot for how you price a service, and you fill it in, or leave it as "ask us". Genius never makes up a price for you.

    Can we quote repairs from LocalGenius?

    Yes. Make a quote from any enquiry, with your saved items, GST worked out and photos from the hoist, and send it by text or email. Customers can accept it from their phone.

    Most of our messages come in on Facebook. Does that work?

    Yes. Facebook and Instagram messages land in the same inbox as your website chat, quote forms and email, each marked with where it came from, so the front counter can answer them all from one screen.

    Someone's service light is on tonight. Be the workshop that answers.

    Get your workshop website up, then let LocalGenius look after the pages, the messages, the repair quotes, the reviews and Google.
