Downtime costs appointments, not just traffic
An auto repair shop site that's down during peak search hours (early mornings, weekends) doesn't just lose a visit, it loses a booking to whichever competitor's site is up.
Auto Repair - WordPress Maintenance
WordPress Maintenance for Auto Repair Shops
A shop site that goes down on a Saturday morning hands appointments straight to the competitor down the street. We keep auto repair shop websites updated, secure, fast, and online, so the traffic your SEO and PPC campaigns bring in actually converts.
Why it matters
Why Auto Repair Shops Need Real WordPress Maintenance
Four reasons a generic maintenance plan falls short for an auto repair shop site.
Slow sites lose mobile visitors
Most auto repair searches happen on a phone, often in a moment of urgency. A slow-loading site loses that visitor to the next result before they ever see your services.
Shop management connections need upkeep
Plugin updates and platform changes can break integrations with Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, or your booking system without warning. Integration health matters as much as the site itself.
Booking forms and payment pages are targets
Sites with online scheduling and payment integrations are more attractive targets for attackers. Your customers' information needs to stay protected.
What's Included in Our Auto Repair Care Plans
The core work that happens behind the scenes every month, whether you notice it or not.
Updates
Core, plugin & theme updates
WordPress core, plugins, and your theme kept current, tested before deployment so nothing breaks your booking tools or payment forms.
Backups
Daily off-site backups
Full daily backups stored off-site. A plugin conflict, hosting issue, or bad update becomes a quick restore, not a rebuild from scratch.
Uptime
Uptime monitoring
Continuous monitoring so we know within minutes if your site goes down, not when a customer tells you they couldn't book an appointment.
Security
Security scanning & hardening
Ongoing malware scanning, firewall rules, and hardening measures that keep your booking forms and payment pages off the list of easy targets.
Speed
Performance monitoring
Page speed tracked continuously with slowdowns addressed before they cost you mobile bookings or SEO rankings during peak search hours.
Integrations
Shop management integration checks
Regular verification that Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, AutoLeap, and your booking connections are functioning correctly after every update.

FAQ
What does managed hosting cost?
Managed hosting starts at $99/mo, billed every six months with no onboarding fee. Care plans sit on top of that and are scoped based on your site's plugin count, integration load, and how often things need to be touched, so we'll give you a specific number after reviewing your site.
Do you handle integrations like Shopmonkey and Tekmetric as part of maintenance?
Yes. Our Pro and Priority plans include health checks on shop management integrations, so if a plugin update or platform change breaks a connection, we catch it before it costs you bookings.
What happens if our site goes down?
We run continuous uptime monitoring and get alerted the moment your site goes down. Priority plan clients get a priority response SLA for faster resolution. Combined with daily off-site backups, most issues are resolved with minimal downtime.
Can you migrate our existing site to your hosting?
Yes. We handle migrations from other hosts as part of onboarding, including testing all forms, integrations, and booking flows before we point your domain to the new environment. Downtime during migration is typically minimal to none.
Do we need a care plan if our site is fairly simple?
Even a simple site needs core WordPress and plugin updates to stay secure. Outdated WordPress installs are one of the most common ways sites get compromised. Our Core plan is built for exactly this: straightforward, single-location shops that still need the fundamentals covered.
