Selling products and services to other businesses to auto repair shops

Independent garages and repair shops service, repair and test vehicles, often with a small team of mechanics and a front desk. The owner usually buys parts, diagnostic equipment and software, and wants anything that fills ramps and speeds up jobs.

Sales teams often work from rented contact data, personal spreadsheets and a CRM that nobody fills in properly. A shared lead database gives everyone the same list, the same statuses and one place to see what happened with each company.

The auto repair shops that need products and services to other businesses are listed publicly. What most sales teams lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What sales teams run into with auto repair shops

Each rep keeps a private list, so two people call the same company.

Work in one shared database with unlimited users on an account and see the status of every company before you reach out.

Per seat and per credit pricing makes it expensive to add people.

Riftjaw charges no credits and no per record fees, and every user on the account is included.

Tyre centres, body shops and general garages appear in the same results.

Use a Services field and tags to sort them and save a filter per audience.

Garage websites often have a booking form but no visible email.

Email from domain suggests addresses like info@ or bookings@ from the website, clearly marked as guesses.

What to say to auto repair shops

Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets auto repair shops to click.

  • Lead with fuller workshop diaries, for example through online booking and service reminders.
  • Talk about the tools and training needed for electric and hybrid vehicles, which more garages want to take on.
  • Focus on fast parts delivery, because a car waiting for a part blocks a ramp.

Fields worth recording for auto repair shops

Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
ServicesServicing, testing, tyres and bodywork each need different suppliers.
SpecialismsSome garages focus on specific brands or on electric vehicles.
Number of rampsA simple way to judge size and spending.
Booking methodShows whether they already take online bookings.

Questions people ask

Many say so on their website or listing. Record it in a Specialisms field and use a saved filter on that field for your campaign.

Where such lists are public, they are a good starting point. Collect them yourself and import the file; Riftjaw flags duplicates against records you already have.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, bookings@, service@ and enquiries@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
