A dead battery or a car that will not start does not wait for business hours. Your website’s job is to show up fast and look like someone who can actually help. We build it first, from what is already public about you, and then give it to you. It costs nothing to have and nothing to keep.
“Auto electrician near me”, “mobile battery replacement”, “car won’t start”: these searches happen standing next to a vehicle that has just stopped working, usually on a phone, usually wanting someone today. They are answered mostly by the map results, not the ordinary search list underneath them.
Some searches are more planned, such as a stereo or accessory install, a wiring job on a project vehicle, but the breakdown searches are the majority, and they reward whichever business looks like it can actually get there.
There is no single licence covering this trade the way there is for plumbing or building electrical work. What exists instead is the Motor Trade Association (MTA), New Zealand’s main automotive industry body, representing thousands of member businesses across the whole trade. Members sign up to a Code of Ethics, and being able to point to that membership is one of the clearer ways to show someone you meet a real standard, rather than just saying so.
Most people calling an auto electrician for the first time have no way to tell one business from another beyond a star rating. If you are an MTA member, put it on the page. Anything that removes doubt before they call is doing real work.
Nothing. We build the page from what is already public about your business and send you the link. If you want it, we put it live and you pay us nothing for it. There is no card, no trial, and no fee that starts later. It sits at an address of ours, not your own domain name, and it carries one line at the bottom saying we built it.
It asks one thing of you. Once a year we send one message asking whether the details are still right, and two reminders over the month after it. If we cannot reach you, the page comes down — a page with your name and a wrong phone number on it is worse for you than no page at all. It also comes down when you ask, for any reason or none, within five New Zealand working days at the latest, and we will not ask you why.
The only thing you can pay for is changes made for you. You message us a new price, new hours, a holiday closure or a photo of the new van, and we make the change, within five New Zealand working days at the latest. That is NZ$299 for the year, and it includes your own domain name registered in your business name and email on it. No monthly fee, no minimum term, and it does not renew itself. No GST is added. The full terms are here.
If somebody else would suit you better — and for plenty of auto electricians they would — we have listed every option we could find, with the price each company publishes on its own site: who should build your website.
We build the first version of your page from your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, and anything else already public about your business, then send you the link. You look at it before anything happens. If you do not want it we take it down, you owe nothing, and we will not contact you about it again.
If you have not claimed your Google Business Profile yet, it matters even more here than for most trades, because someone with a dead battery is looking at the map results, not scrolling past them. The walkthrough is here: how to claim your Google Business Profile in New Zealand.
Being straight with you: we build and host the website, not your Google Business Profile, because that needs a verified New Zealand address and we are not in New Zealand. The walkthrough above covers the whole process yourself; it takes about twenty minutes and it is free.
It is worth having and worth showing. With no single licence covering this trade, MTA membership and its Code of Ethics is one of the clearer ways to show you meet a real standard.
Whether you are mobile or workshop-based, the towns or suburbs you cover, and a phone number that gets answered. If you can get to a flat battery or a dead alternator the same day, say so, because that is usually the deciding factor.
For a lot of trades, a Facebook page covers most of what people need day to day. What it does not do well is show up when someone searches your trade and town on Google rather than on Facebook, and it can look less permanent to someone checking you out before they call. We wrote the comparison up properly here: Facebook page or website, for a New Zealand trade business. If you are not showing up in a search at all — not even for your own business name — here is why, in the order it usually happens.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one, and if we can, we email you the link to look at. There is nothing to pay at any point for the page itself.

Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one — this is one person, so we cannot build for everyone who asks. Either way there is nothing to pay.
