Instagram posts for auto repair shops: what to post and when
An auto repair shop wins customers by explaining: what to check before a road trip, how long a service takes and when to replace a part. Here are ideas for the week, the best times to post according to the average of two public studies and the Feedmakers features that make each post.
What to post
- What to check before a long road trip
- How many miles or kilometers between services
- Signs your brakes need a check
- The shop's services and how long each one takes
- A deal on an oil change or a wheel alignment
- Hours and how to book
- One of the day's jobs, told in three steps
- Fuel economy myths
When to post
Neither study has its own data for auto repair shops, so the map uses the all-industries average.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use photos of the jobs?
Yes. Add the photo and Feedmakers places the job in a new piece with the text inside it. An image model redraws it, so check that it still looks like yours before you post.
Can I put prices in the image?
Yes. You can type the services and prices yourself and they go inside the image. An image model draws them and can make mistakes, so check them before you post.
Does it write the caption too?
Yes. Every post comes with a hook, a caption, a call to action and hashtags, in English, Spanish or both.
How much does each post cost?
1 credit per image on Fast, 3 on Standard and 6 on High, and credits are only charged when the image comes out right. The caption doesn't spend credits.
