What to put on a truck repair or oil change website: a checklist

How to use this checklist

Whether you run a heavy-duty diesel shop, a quick-lube lane, or both, your website has the same basic job: help someone decide to call or pull in. Go through this list and check off what your site already covers. Anything missing is a reason someone might be calling another shop.

The essentials (every shop)

• [ ] Shop name, exactly as it appears on your Google listing
• [ ] Phone number with a tap-to-call button at the top
• [ ] Street address with a directions link
• [ ] Hours, including weekends and holidays
• [ ] Your Google rating and a few recent reviews
• [ ] A short request form that emails you
• [ ] Mobile-friendly layout that loads quickly

If you only fix one thing this week, make it the top of the page. Name, phone, hours and a call button should be visible without scrolling.

Things to leave off

| Skip this | Why | |---|---| | Stock photos of shiny sports cars | Doesn't match your work and looks generic | | Long company history at the top | Pushes the phone number down | | Expired specials | Makes the whole site look neglected | | PDF menus | Hard to read on a phone and invisible to Google | | "Call for pricing" on every item | Sends comparison shoppers elsewhere |

Keep it accurate

A checklist only helps if the details stay current. Review your site whenever something changes: new hours, a new service, a price adjustment, a new special. Make sure your Google listing changes at the same time.

The bottom line

A good truck repair or oil change website covers the essentials at the top, spells out your services and access details, shows your rating, and makes calling or requesting service easy. Work through this checklist, fill the gaps, and keep it current.
