Show drivers what an honest repair looks like

Sizzledraft turns a mechanic's website into a short video ad using real screenshots, service details, pricing and brand styling from the page. The first video is cut from the site alone, while later videos can follow a prompt about a repair, diagnostic service or seasonal check.

Opening lines that work here

  • Warning light on? Pay for answers, not guesses.

    It addresses drivers who fear unnecessary repairs and positions diagnosis as a clear, paid service.

  • Hear that noise? We inspect it before we price it.

    It connects a familiar reason for visiting a garage with an honest diagnosis-first process.

  • Your service quote should explain every line.

    It speaks directly to driver anxiety about unclear parts, labour and extra charges.

How can a mechanic make a video ad feel trustworthy?

Lead with the part drivers worry about most: whether the garage will diagnose the fault before recommending repairs. A useful mechanic ad can show the website's real diagnostic service, inspection process, workshop address and published prices instead of generic engine footage. State what happens first, such as scanning fault codes, checking the reported symptom or confirming work before fitting parts. If the page explains labour, parts or inspection charges, keep those details readable on screen. Sizzledraft captures the garage's actual pages and uses their colours, type and images to build the scenes. That gives drivers evidence they can check for themselves, including which vehicles you service, how quotes work and where they can book.

What should a garage video ad say about repair prices?

Use prices only when the website states exactly what they cover. A fixed diagnostic fee, MOT price, oil service package or air-conditioning recharge can work well because a driver understands the job and the starting cost. Avoid flashing a low figure without naming exclusions, vehicle limits or additional labour. If the final repair price depends on inspection, say so plainly and explain that the garage confirms the quote before work begins. The video can capture the published offer, then move to the booking button, phone number or workshop location. This approach sells clarity rather than cheapness. It also helps separate the cost of finding a fault from the cost of parts and repair, which prevents drivers from treating diagnosis as a free estimate.

Can my garage website become a vertical or horizontal ad?

Yes. Sizzledraft drives a browser through the garage website, captures real screenshots and authors scenes using the site's own brand tokens. Vertical videos render at 1080x1920 for phone-first placements, while horizontal videos render at 1920x1080. Both use 30fps H.264 video, with audio normalised to -14 LUFS. The first video is cut from the site alone, so pages should clearly show services, diagnostic steps, pricing and booking details. Later videos can accept a prompt, such as focusing on brake inspections, warning-light diagnosis or winter checks. If a trending sound is selected, it is handed over as a link to attach natively rather than baked into the file, because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser can capture real service lists, diagnostic steps, fixed-price offers, labour information, booking details, workshop photos and trust signals displayed on the garage website. It may struggle with prices hidden inside booking widgets, vehicle-registration forms, rotating galleries or pages that require a login, so important costs and conditions should also appear as normal page text.

The common mistake

A common mistake is advertising a low repair price before explaining that the fault needs diagnosis. Fix it by showing the inspection fee or process first, then state that the garage confirms parts, labour and the final quote before starting work.

  • Explaining diagnostic work in a few seconds without making every warning light sound like an expensive repair
  • Showing labour rates, inspection fees or service prices clearly when the website spreads them across several pages
  • Building trust with real workshop evidence instead of relying on generic footage of tools, engines and mechanics

Questions

Will the video use real images from my garage website?
Yes. The browser captures screenshots from the garage's actual pages, including workshop photos, service descriptions, diagnostic information, price tables and booking details that load visibly. It then builds scenes around those assets and the site's brand styling. Content hidden behind logins or some interactive booking tools may not be available to capture.
Can I make separate ads for different repair services?
Yes. The first video is cut from the site alone, so it reflects the services that the page makes clear. Later videos accept a prompt, letting you request a focused ad for brake diagnosis, air-conditioning service, warning lights, MOT preparation or another repair category supported by the website.
How should I display diagnostic pricing on my website?
Put the diagnostic fee in normal page text and explain what it includes, such as a fault-code scan, physical checks or a written estimate. State whether further testing costs extra and confirm that repairs require approval. Clear wording gives the browser usable material and gives drivers a fair expectation before they book.
What does sizzledraft cost for a small garage?
You can buy two videos for $19 or choose $39 per month for eight. A garage could use the two-video option for one diagnostic ad and one service offer, while the monthly option supports separate videos for recurring jobs such as brakes, tyres, servicing and seasonal checks.
