Frequently asked, for auto repair shops
The questions auto repair shops ask before signing. If yours isn't here, ask us on the contact form, we'll add it.
Can you do the MOT-reminder email engine even if we don't have a CRM?
Yes. The Brilliant AI workspace (included free with your tier) does the contact storage + the scheduled-send. You bring the vehicle list (we'll help you export from your existing booking system) and we wire the reminders at 14 / 7 / 1 day before expiry.
What does the engagement actually cost for auto repair shops?
We recommend starting at Thrive (£1,500/month) for auto repair shops, three channels with paid ads as the spearhead + email reminders compounding into the customer base. Right fit for most independent garages.. Upgrade or downgrade any month; no annual contracts.
Can I cancel if it's not working?
Yes, 30 days notice, cancel anytime. The Brilliant AI workspace at the matched tier (Starter) stays live for 30 days post-cancellation, then drops to Free. No clawback, no exit fee.
Why not just hire a freelancer for paid ads?
For one channel at low volume, a freelancer is fine. We come in when you want multiple channels coordinated, a freelancer doesn't talk to your other freelancers, and you end up project-managing all of them. We coordinate so you get one report, not five.
Will I see results in month one for auto repair shops?
Depends on the channel. Paid ads show signal in week 2. SEO content compounds over 8-12 weeks (Google has to index + rank). Social cadence shows engagement signal in month 1 but conversion takes longer. We tell you what to expect per channel; we don't promise a number we can't back up.
Do you actually do the creative or just brief it?
We actually do it. Our owner-led craft team art-directs every creative deliverable in-house, working in Photoshop, Canva, After Effects, Premier Pro, and Blender. Freelancers handle ad-set management + outreach + ops; craft stays in-house.
Ready to talk?
30 minutes on a call. We say yes, no, or "here's a specialist who's a better fit than us". Owner-led, no sales drip.
