Social Media Management for Auto Repair Shops in Metro Detroit
Most shop owners post once in January and ghost their Facebook page until July — that's not a strategy, that's a parked car. TunedUp keeps your social profiles firing on all cylinders with consistent content that builds trust with local drivers before they ever need a repair. We handle the content calendar, post creation, and community responses so you can stay under the hood while we keep your brand visible online.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which social platforms do you manage?
We focus on the platforms that actually move the needle for auto shops: Facebook and Instagram. These are where local drivers are spending time and where word-of-mouth recommendations happen digitally. If you have an existing presence on other platforms, we can assess whether they're worth the investment.
What kind of content will you post for my shop?
A mix of educational content ("5 signs your brakes need attention"), trust-builders (before/after photos, team spotlights, shop milestones), local community posts, and soft promotional content around your services and seasonal specials. We write everything in a voice that sounds like it's coming from your shop — not a marketing agency.
Do I need to send you photos and videos?
Photos and short videos from your shop are gold — they perform far better than stock images. We'll give you a simple monthly checklist of shots that take under 5 minutes to grab (before/after, team photos, vehicles in the bay). The more you can send us, the more authentic and high-performing your content will be. But if you're too busy, we can work with what we have.
How do you handle negative comments or complaints online?
We monitor comments and messages on your managed profiles and respond to routine questions and positive feedback daily. For complaints or situations that need your input, we flag you immediately with a recommended response — we never guess on sensitive issues. We'll also help you draft responses to negative reviews that defuse the situation professionally.
How does social media actually bring in customers?
Social media works best as a trust engine, not a direct response channel. When a driver sees your shop consistently showing up in their feed with helpful tips and real shop content, you become the familiar name they call when something breaks. It shortens the "who do I trust?" decision dramatically — especially for new residents in your area.
