More than half of drivers are researching shops when your doors are locked. 🌙

That means by the time someone calls in the morning, they've already compared you to two other shops, read your reviews, and decided whether you're getting the appointment.

Good news: you don't need to staff overnight to win those drivers. You just need a website that does the work for you.

Our latest post walks through a six-part after-hours plan for tire and service shops — including how to handle online quoting, AI chat, and the morning-after follow-up that turns overnight inquiries into scheduled service.

Memorial Day weekend is closing in. Road-trip checks, tire deals, "is this safe to drive on?" questions are about to spike.

Heads up: Google's AI is already showing drivers an estimated repair cost before they ever land on your website. By the time they call, they've got a number in their head.

That's not bad news. A driver who's done their homework is a driver who's ready to book — IF you can meet them with a quote you can stand behind.

Only about 1 in 5 shops offer online quoting today. Lots of room to stand out.

Some of the best advice in our new report came from a customer success leader on our team:

"The shops that grow aren't looking to blow up their business model. They just want to improve it. You've got a great cake recipe — let's talk about the icing. You don't change the cake. You just make it better." 🎂

That's the whole spirit of The State of the Shop: 2026. Not "rip everything out." Just fix the small leaks.

Be honest — when you hear "AI in the shop," what's your gut reaction? 🤔

We talked to a shop owner who said it best: "I've been scared of AI. I'll flat out say it. But after seeing it in action, it opened my eyes."

Almost 40% of shops are already using an AI tool. Another 36% are planning to.

Most of them aren't using it to replace anybody. They're using it so that 9 PM tire question doesn't turn into a missed lead.

Quick one for shop owners 👇

54% of your potential customers are looking for service AFTER you've closed for the day.

Half your funnel is happening when nobody's there to answer the phone.

You don't need to staff overnight to win that lead. But your website does need to actually do something at 8 PM on a Tuesday — show pricing, answer "do you do this," let people schedule.

"Every experience I've had with Net Driven has been positive."

Meet Kameron Butcher — General Manager of Lynn Wood Service Center in northern Utah. Kam runs two shops, leads a team of 24, and still personally responds to every negative Google review. (There aren't many.)

For years, their website was an afterthought. Kam tried newspaper ads, TV, radio, streaming, even a bench at a golf course. Nothing moved the needle.

Then he found Net Driven — and the results speak for themselves:

📈 Conversions up 33% in 30 days
📞 Click-to-call leads up 267%
🔍 "Service center near me" ranking jumped 97 positions to #3
🚀 Organic leads surged 163% month-over-month in March 2026


Big congrats to Kam and the entire Lynn Wood Service Center team — this is what happens when family values meet a digital strategy that actually works. 👏

New report, fresh off the press: The State of the Shop: 2026 🛞

We pulled patterns from over 5,000 tire, service, and auto aftermarket shops to figure out where shops are quietly losing cars and revenue — and what the shops that are pulling ahead are doing differently.

Spoiler: it isn't just being bigger and better funded.
