Show drivers what an honest repair looks like

Sizzledraft turns a mechanic’s website into a vertical TikTok video ad using real screenshots, service details and brand styling from the site. The ad can explain your diagnostic process and show available pricing without making claims your garage cannot support.

Opening lines that work here

  • Warning light on? Pay for answers before parts.

    It addresses drivers who fear paying for guessed repairs and frames diagnosis as the first useful purchase.

  • No repair starts before you see the quote.

    It answers the pricing concern that often stops drivers from booking a mechanic they have not used before.

  • That noise needs a diagnosis, not a parts cannon.

    It uses familiar workshop language to contrast a measured diagnostic process with costly guesswork.

How can a mechanic make a TikTok ad about honest diagnosis?

Start with the symptom a driver recognises, such as a warning light, vibration or starting problem. Then show the relevant diagnostic service from your garage website and explain the order of work: inspect the vehicle, identify the likely fault, confirm the repair price and ask for approval. Sizzledraft captures the real wording, workshop images and booking details from that page, then builds a 1080x1920 video around them. This keeps the claim tied to your published process instead of implying every fault has a simple answer. Put the reassurance early: you diagnose before replacing parts. End with the actual booking action shown on your site, whether that is a phone number, enquiry form or online appointment button.

Should a garage put repair prices in a TikTok ad?

Use prices when your website gives a clear, current figure for a defined service. An MOT, diagnostic check, air conditioning recharge or fixed-price oil service is easier to advertise honestly than an unspecified engine repair. State what the price covers and flag any condition already shown on the page, such as vehicle size, refrigerant type or parts being extra. If the final cost depends on inspection, advertise the diagnostic fee or quote process instead of inventing a repair total. A useful mechanic ad reduces uncertainty without promising that every vehicle costs the same. Sizzledraft works from the published page, so check that its price, VAT wording, location and booking terms are accurate before turning that page into the video.

What should a mechanic’s vertical TikTok ad show?

Show one driver problem, one workshop process and one next step. For example, open with an engine warning light, cut to your diagnostic service page, then show how a technician checks the fault before quoting the repair. Real screenshots can include your garage name, service description, listed diagnostic price, opening details and booking button. The finished file is vertical 1080x1920 at 30fps in H.264, so prices and appointment details should be large enough to read on a phone. Sizzledraft cuts the first video from the site alone. Later videos can take a prompt, such as focusing on brake noise or electrical faults. If you choose a trending sound, it is handed over as a link to attach natively rather than baked into the file.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture real service pages, diagnostic descriptions, listed prices, booking buttons, workshop photos and the garage’s colours and type styles. It may struggle when prices only appear after entering vehicle details, booking widgets block access, or important repair information sits inside rotating banners or third-party systems.

The common mistake

A common mistake is opening with a generic shot of a car or tool chest while the driver’s real concern stays unclear. Open with the symptom and pricing fear instead, then show your diagnostic process, published fee and approval step.

  • Drivers may assume a repair quote will grow after their car reaches the workshop, so the ad must explain how diagnosis and approval work.
  • Static service pages rarely show clearly why a diagnostic fee, inspection or labour charge protects the driver from unnecessary repairs.
  • A mechanic needs readable prices, booking details and local service information on screen before a fast-scrolling viewer moves on.

Questions

Can the ad show my garage’s diagnostic price?
Yes, if the price appears clearly on the captured page. The video can pair that figure with the specific check it covers, such as fault-code reading or a diagnostic assessment. If extra testing or repairs cost more, keep that distinction visible so drivers do not mistake the diagnostic fee for a complete repair price.
What if every repair quote depends on inspecting the car?
Advertise the quoting process rather than a fixed repair total. Explain that the garage diagnoses the fault, reports what it found and seeks approval before fitting parts. This gives drivers a concrete reason to book while avoiding a misleading price for brakes, electrical faults or engine work that varies by vehicle and condition.
Will the video use real images from my mechanic website?
Yes. A headless browser visits the page and captures real screenshots, including workshop photos, service descriptions, prices and booking details that are accessible there. The scene uses the site’s own colours and type choices. Content hidden inside blocked booking tools, logins or vehicle-specific quote forms may not be available to capture.
How much does it cost to make mechanic ads?
The available options are $19 for two videos or $39/month for eight. The first video is cut from your garage website alone, so the relevant page should already explain the service and pricing accurately. Later videos accept a prompt for a specific job, such as diagnostics, brake inspections or air conditioning service.
