When the phone rings, either the car waits or the customer does.
From search to shop floor
Spend less time holding the shop together—and more time growing it.
Most shop websites leave you with a ringing phone or a form sitting in an inbox. TrustedLocalAuto strengthens how your shop shows up online, takes appointment requests, even after hours, and carries each request into the dashboard that runs your day to day operation.
- Built for independent Canadian shops
- You control every confirmation
The owner has become the workflow
Right now, you are the system.
You answer the call, repeat the explanation, find somewhere to write it down, check the calendar, remember to follow up, and tell the team what happens next.
When you’re under a hood or the doors are locked, the handoff breaks—and good work can quietly go somewhere else.
SituationsWhat keeps happening
The customer keeps searching after the shop closes.
These interruptions become more work for the owner.
OutcomesWhat gets left with you
The details end up in a voicemail, inbox, text, or scrap of paper.
Every disconnected request becomes something else you have to remember.
Three tools. Three stopping points.
Useful on their own. Disconnected when the customer moves forward.
Google, a normal website, and shop software each cover one slice of the journey. The owner still has to carry the opportunity between them.
Fragmented tools
Separate places. Separate handoffs.

More than a listing
Look as trustworthy online as you are in the bay.
Bring your services, reviews, hours, shop media, service areas, customer information, and appointment requests together in one professional presence—without becoming your own web team.
- A tailored page for the individual shop
- Clear services and customer-facing information
- Reviews, shop media, location, and hours
- Local and service-based discovery
- Appointment requests available outside business hours
- Public information controlled from the shop dashboard
When the doors are locked
The customer doesn’t stop searching when you close.
Let customers explain what they need, choose a preferred time, and provide their vehicle details without waiting for someone to answer the phone.
Their request arrives in the dashboard with the context your team needs—not as another voicemail you have to reconstruct.
Customers request. You confirm.
Nothing becomes confirmed work until your team reviews it. The owner remains in control of scheduling, assignment, and shop capacity.

Questions before you list
What shop owners usually ask.
The short version: TLA connects the public experience to a workflow your team still controls.
I already have a Google Business Profile. What does TLA add?
Google can help a local driver discover your shop. TLA gives that driver a focused place to understand your services and shop, submit a structured appointment request, and move that request into a dashboard your team can act on.
Can TLA work alongside my existing website?
Yes. TLA can complement your existing website with a tailored public profile, local and service-based discovery, structured appointment requests, and a connected owner workflow.
Are appointment requests confirmed automatically?
No. Customers request and your team confirms. You decide what fits the schedule, when it happens, and who handles the work.
Will this create another system for my team to manage?
TLA is designed to carry the information a customer enters online into the shop dashboard. Your team can review the request, place confirmed work on the calendar, and move it through the Work Board without rebuilding the details from scratch.
What information does a customer provide?
A customer can provide the service they need, a preferred date and time, vehicle details, contact information, and useful instructions for the shop.
What happens after I list my shop?
We review the shop information you submit and contact you to finish setting up your public presence. You stay in control of what customers see and which appointment requests become confirmed work.
Your next online opportunity should have somewhere to go.
Give customers a clear next step, even when the shop is closed.
