Reseller guide · auto repair shops
Auto repair shops: customers with an hour to fill.
Customers wait while the work is done, with nothing to do but look up. Nearby food, insurance and car businesses want that hour.
You pay $49 a month per screen plus a one-time $99 setup. The owner pays nothing.
Why an auto repair shop is a strong location
- Waits often run an hour or more.
- Customers are local drivers who return for regular maintenance.
- Lounges usually have a TV already.
What the owner gets for free
A managed screen
You set it up on an existing TV and keep it current.
Cards of their own
Service specials, warranty details and seasonal reminders.
Nothing to run
No subscription, no setup fee and no software for the office to learn.
What one shop screen could carry
12 cards: 2 to 3 for the owner, the rest for you to sell. Each is a label, a headline, a line of detail and an optional photo and logo.
