A website for garages, live in minutes
Two questions decide whether somebody rings you: can you take the car this week, and roughly what will it cost.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
A garage is one of the few businesses where the customer already knows what they need and is only choosing between places that can fit them in.
Clay reads your Google listing and puts the site together around the diary. Services with prices, the week you have room in, and a booking form that asks for the registration rather than for a paragraph. Your reviews are on it, which for a garage is most of the decision.
Why Clay
It pulls your info from Google
No blank page. Clay reads your Google business listing and fills in your name, photos, hours, map and reviews automatically.
A real website, not just links
Menus, bookings, a shop, a gallery, contact, Clay is a full site that also works as a link-in-bio, not a list of buttons.
Live in minutes, free to start
Search, pick a style, publish. No signup to see it, no credit card, and a free live address at name.clay.site.
Yours to grow
Bring a custom domain, add pro widgets, run multiple sites. It scales from a bio link to a full business site.
This week, and roughly what
A service, a test, a diagnostic and a set of tyres are four different prices, and a garage that publishes them is a garage that is rung by people who have already accepted them.
Underneath, the slots. Not a live diary if you do not want one: a line saying you usually have space within three days does the same job and cannot go wrong.
The test is the reason they come back
Almost every car needs an annual test, and almost every garage loses half of them to whoever the customer happens to search for that week. A page with a reminder sign up on it is a page that keeps them.
It is one line and a box, and it is the only marketing a small garage genuinely needs.
What you can switch on
Every one of these is part of your site, not a plugin to install. Turn on what you use and leave the rest off.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.

Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
Do I need a live diary?
No, and most garages are better without one. A line saying you can usually take a car within three days answers the question and cannot be wrong at four in the afternoon. The booking form then reaches your phone and you confirm the slot yourself.
Should I put prices on servicing?
Yes for the fixed ones: the test, the interim, the full service, a diagnostic. Those are exactly what people compare, and being the garage that says the number is most of why they ring rather than scroll.
Can I collect reminders for next year?
Yes, a sign up on the page. It is the one piece of marketing a garage actually needs, because the annual test is the appointment everybody forgets and whoever reminds them gets the work.
