Can the video use photos from our Facebook repair posts?

Yes, when those post images are publicly visible without signing in. Useful examples include worn brake components, diagnostic screens, servicing work and workshop bays. If Facebook hides a post or album behind its login wall, the browser cannot rely on it, so place essential images in public posts.

Can we advertise a fixed repair price from our Facebook page?

Yes, if the page clearly states the real price and what the job includes. For variable repairs, advertise the diagnostic or inspection charge instead of implying one repair price fits every vehicle. Clear terms help drivers understand the difference between finding a fault and authorising the work.

What format will our mechanic video use?

The video can be rendered vertically at 1080x1920 or horizontally at 1920x1080. It runs at 30fps, uses H.264 and has audio normalised to -14 LUFS. Choose vertical for mobile Facebook placements and horizontal when the ad needs a wider view of the workshop or vehicle.

Can we use a trending sound in the Facebook ad?

A trending sound is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively when posting the garage video. It is not baked into the file, because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound. The rendered audio is still scored and normalised to -14 LUFS.

Show drivers why they can trust your garage

sizzledraft turns a mechanic's Facebook page into a short video ad built around real workshop images, services and contact details. It works best when your public page clearly explains how you diagnose faults and price repairs.

How can a mechanic turn a Facebook page into a video ad?

Start with a Facebook page that makes the garage easy to verify. A clear cover photo can establish the workshop, while the profile image identifies the business. Public post images can show a brake inspection, diagnostic equipment, a timing belt job or the condition of a removed part. The about text supplies practical details such as location, opening hours and the types of vehicles serviced. sizzledraft captures those visible elements and authors a short scene using the page's own colours and imagery. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the page needs to state the service and booking route plainly. Later videos accept a prompt, letting the garage focus on MOT preparation, warning-light diagnosis or seasonal checks.

What should a garage video ad say about diagnosis and pricing?

Lead with the driver's symptom, then explain the next honest step. For example, say that an engine warning light needs a diagnostic check before anyone recommends replacement parts. If the Facebook page publishes an inspection fee, labour rate or fixed service price, show that exact figure and clarify what it includes. Do not imply that every noise has the same repair cost. A useful ad distinguishes the known price of checking the vehicle from the unknown cost of fixing the confirmed fault. Workshop images should support that explanation by showing the scan tool, worn component or inspection process. End with one practical action, such as calling the garage, sending a Facebook message or requesting a booking for diagnosis.

Will public Facebook posts provide enough material for a mechanic ad?

They can, provided the public page contains a few relevant workshop images and clear about text. A cover photo of the premises helps local drivers recognise the garage, and a consistent profile image keeps the business identifiable. Recent public posts work best when they show real jobs, such as corroded brake discs, tyre wear, a leaking coolant hose or diagnostic testing. The main limitation is Facebook's login wall. Posts, albums, reviews or captions that require an account cannot reliably supply the scene, so important proof should not exist only in restricted content. Before creating the video, check the page while logged out. If the service, location, contact route and useful job photos remain visible, there is enough public material for a focused garage ad.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser can capture the Facebook cover photo, profile image, about text and images from recent posts that are publicly visible. Facebook places much of its content behind a login wall, so private posts, restricted albums, reviews and other gated details may not appear in the video.

The common mistake

A common mistake is opening with a generic shot of a car and saying the garage offers quality service. Open with a specific driver concern, such as a warning light or brake noise, then show the diagnostic check and explain which price is fixed before any repair is approved.
