Bring more classic cars through your workshop doors.

Yes. Many owners search for a specialist by marque and area, such as “Triumph specialist Midlands” or “classic Mini restoration near me”, and Google and AI assistants use your location, services and reputation to decide who to show. Being clearly visible in your own area, and clearly described as a specialist, helps you reach owners further afield too.

We build content around the marques and services you know best, so you appear when owners search for exactly that.

Yes. We keep content about historic vehicle tax, MOT exemption and DVLA registration accurate and measured, check it against official guidance and are happy for you to review it before it goes live. We avoid overstating what a restoration or modification means for a car’s status, because owners need to make their own checks with DVLA.

The Authority plan includes multi-location strategy, giving each site its own optimised profile and visibility in its own area.

A fuller Google profile and accurate specialist listings can help within weeks. Ranking well for searches like “MGB restoration near me” and being suggested by AI assistants builds over three to six months, depending on how many specialists cover your marques — worth knowing, since owners often book winter lay-up work months ahead.

No. The plan rolls monthly, and you can cancel before the next billing date whatever stage your projects are at. The workshop’s profile, listings and links stay where they are.

Marque clubs are the heart of the classic world. Supporting club events, offering technical talks, being listed as a recommended specialist and attending shows with a finished car on display all build your reputation with exactly the right owners.

Relationships with classic insurers, valuers, auction houses and storage providers can also bring steady referrals, since they regularly meet owners who need work done.

Yes. A dated photographic diary of each stage, shared with the owner as the job progresses, keeps customers confident during long projects and adds to the car’s documented history. With the owner’s permission, the best projects also make excellent website case studies and Google profile posts.

Restorations often uncover hidden problems, so owners value honesty about uncertainty. A written estimate for the known work, an agreed process for approving extra work and regular itemised updates help avoid disputes. Explaining this clearly on your website also helps owners understand what to expect before they call.

Show the marques you specialise in, your years of experience, any club recommendations or approved specialist listings, and trade memberships. Many specialists are listed through clubs that belong to the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC). Clear details of your insurance while cars are in your care, and how vehicles are stored securely, also reassure owners.
