Bosch recommendation helps garage make big cost savings

Walker Cutting, a Bosch Car Service Centre in Rotherham, has made significant cost savings by partnering with specialist garage website provider, Garage Services Online, for a new website.

Co-owner, Gary Cutting, says since the site went live six months ago, the garage has reduced its monthly subscription costs by a huge 75 per cent.

The business has also been able to stop advertising elsewhere, meaning the savings are two-fold and going straight onto the bottom line.

He said: “We’re making huge savings now. The new website is a quarter of the cost we were paying previously, and the changeover was quick and easy. Bosch recommended Garage Services Online to us, and I can’t fault them.

“We got our first website over 24 years ago so we know how important they are, even for a busy garage. I wasn’t unhappy with the look of the previous site, but we needed to rethink the type of work it was attracting.

“Our lead time had crept up to four weeks which wasn’t great for customers. The website was attracting too much low profit work, things like time-consuming engine problems. We were struggling to fit in the quick turnaround work such as a basic service or MOT, so something needed to change.”
