Own vs Rent

    Most auto shop websites are rentals — priced like you’ll never leave.

    Typical auto-repair website vendors charge $99–$225 every month, forever — and when you stop paying, the site, the content, sometimes even the domain… gone.

    Eight questions, two answers

    Same eight questions, asked of the rental model and of us. Ask them of anyone else you talk to.

    12 × $99 = $1,188 the first year — then the site is yours, plus $9/mo hosting.

    That’s $1,788/year. Over 3 years: $5,364 — and you still own nothing. JUMPSTART: 12 × $99 = $1,188 the first year, then the site is yours and it’s just $9/mo hosting.

    Typical website vendors run $99–$225/mo.

    What happens if I switch?

    Nothing has to be “transferred” from your old vendor — we rebuild your content better than it is now. Your Google Business Profile and your reviews are already yours; they don’t belong to the website company, and they come with you.
