Site audit 02/ 09

Captured October 31, 2026 · autotronicsautorepair.com

The expertise is real. The website hides it.

Six findings from the public site. Not a taste argument — what the HTML and the screen actually do, at the size a driver opens it.

The live Autotronics home page at 1440 pixels: a 2019-era template with a large photo and a contact column. — Live home page · rendered at 1440 × 900

The same live home page at 390 pixels wide, rendered as a scaled-down 980-pixel desktop layout with tiny text. — Same page at 390 px · laid out at 980 px (0.40×)

What the phone gets: the desktop page, scaled to 40%. The address, hours, and service copy are technically present — and effectively unreadable without pinch-zoom.

01

CriticalSOURCE · <head> · all 6 pages

No mobile viewport on any of the six pages.

Every page omits <meta name="viewport">. At 390 px the home page lays out at 980 px and scales down; the service menu and phone numbers render at roughly 0.40×.
02

CriticalSOURCE · /home · 4 img[src]

Two dead Yahoo Mail thumbnails load on the home page.

Both image tags point at a thumbp4-gq1.thumb.mail.yahoo.com inbox URL over http://; the host does not resolve, so the layout reserves their boxes for nothing.
03

HighSOURCE · /contact_us · h2 + form

The Contact page still ships placeholder copy.

It reads “Click to enter an introduction to your optional request or reservation form here.” above a four-field form — and hotlinks a Mercedes tech-center image and a Google thumbnail.
04

HighSOURCE · <title> · /, /appointment, /contact_us

Appointment and Contact have each other’s titles.

/appointment is titled “CONTACT US”; /contact_us is titled “Appointment.” The home page title is “AUTOTRONICS AUTO REPAIR - ” — with nothing after the dash.
05

HighSOURCE · /home, /appointment

One shop, three phone lines, two emails, two closing times.

Home lists “Call (650) 376-3847” beside ph (650) 347-3998 and fax (650) 347-3847. Hours read 8:00 PM on home, 8:30 PM on the form page. Email: a Yahoo address plus a Gmail “appointment” address.
06

MediumSOURCE · /appointment · form

A six-field request with a free-text start date.

First, last, email, mobile, service, and “Requested Start Date” are all required. The page asks for a week’s notice and shows no available times.

The gap 03/ 09

An illustrative Thursday · 6:47 PM

Six fields. A week’s notice. No open bay in sight.

A Peninsula driver searches for Mercedes service after work and finds the shop. Then the path asks for six required fields and a week’s lead time before showing a single available time. The work is expert; the handoff is not.

The system 05/ 09

What Brandcore actually builds

Six systems. One working shop.

Not a template with a new logo. A service desk that matches how a driver searches, decides, and asks for a time — built on the facts you already publish.

01

Service architecture

Service A/B, Inspection I/II, brakes, alignment, diagnostics, and lighting organized around a driver’s question — not an old page tree.

One menu, no wall of text

02

Maintenance finder

Model plus mileage returns the interval you already publish, with a plain-language scope list and the shop’s confirmation step.

Two taps to the right service

03

Local search

One verified name, address, phone, and set of hours across the site and your Google Business Profile — the same facts everywhere.

The same facts everywhere

04

Original content

Your bays, your technicians, your cars. The real photographs already on your site, art-directed instead of buried under a template.

Proof, not stock

05

Request path

A short service request with vehicle, service, and preferred day. Your front desk confirms scope and time; nothing pretends to be booked.

Fewer dead ends

06

Direct partner

Hector stays on the account with a direct line and a monthly change list. No ticket queue, no handoff to a stranger.

One accountable partner

The proof 06/ 09

United Facilities Group · ufgworks.com

We’ve done this before. Drag to see it.

Brandcore replaced a dated legacy template with a clearer commercial website. Same discipline here: real content, a scannable hierarchy, and a front door that works on a phone.

Legacy template a hierarchy a visitor can scan.
Buried capabilities services a buyer can find.

The engagement 08/ 09

Three ways to deploy

Start with the front door.
Grow into the whole presence.

One recommended path for a shop that wants the phone to ring — not just a prettier homepage.

Scope 01

The Front Door

Best for replacing a dated site with a credible, mobile-first shop presence.

5-section custom site
Service menu + real photography
Contact, hours, and map actions
Google Business Profile setup
Launch QA + redirects

Fixed-fee quote after a 20-minute scope call.

Recommended

The Service Engine

Best for turning service searches into request-ready drivers.

Everything in The Front Door
Model + mileage maintenance finder
Short request path with front-desk confirmation
Review-request path
60 days of local content

Built for Autotronics’ service menu and shop hours.

Scope 03

The Full Presence

Best for a shop that wants an ongoing local-search partner.

Everything in The Service Engine
Quarterly service content
Local-search monitoring
Priority changes with Hector
Second service page when needed

Scoped after the first 60 days.

No package price in this deck.

Scope drives a fixed-fee quote. Nothing starts until you approve the written scope.

Let’s talk 09/ 09

A 15-minute walkthrough · no obligation

Let’s put the shop on the front foot.

You’ve built the expertise and the address. The website should make both obvious before a driver calls.
