A sample post
This is the kind of post that lands in your plan, here for Instagram.
Myth: Car AC just needs gas every year. Fact: If gas keeps running out, there is a leak. Fix the leak once instead of topping up again and again.
Photo brief. Split card: a gas cylinder being connected again and again labelled MYTH, a technician finding a leak with UV dye labelled FACT.
Myths your customers believe
Posts that correct a myth earn trust. Your plan includes them, with your business name attached.
Myth. Multi-brand garages void your warranty
Fact. Warranty terms vary, but routine servicing with proper parts and records is usually what matters. Check your manufacturer's terms.
Myth. Engine oil only needs changing when it looks dark
Fact. Oil darkens quickly and still works; it also breaks down without looking different. Follow the service interval for your car.
Myth. A warning light can wait if the car drives fine
Fact. Some warnings are minor, others are not. A quick diagnostic tells you which.
Myth. Car AC just needs gas every year
Fact. Repeated gas loss means a leak. Fixing the leak is better than topping up again and again.

Questions your customers ask
Will I get an estimate before work starts?
Yes. We inspect the car, share an estimate and start only after you approve. Extra work is discussed first.
Can I see the old parts?
Yes. Replaced parts can be shown or returned on request.
Do you use genuine parts?
We tell you whether a part is genuine, OEM or aftermarket, with the price of each option where available.
How long does a regular service take?
Many routine services finish the same day. We tell you on drop-off and update you if anything changes.
Do you offer pickup and drop?
Ask us; pickup and drop may be available in nearby areas.
My check engine light is on. What should I do?
Avoid long drives and bring it for a diagnostic scan. If the light flashes or the car behaves oddly, stop safely and call us.
