Questions roadworthy inspectors ask
Why does state terminology matter so much?
Because people search the term they were told by the transport department or the buyer. Using the wrong one means you're invisible to the exact searches you want, so every location page should carry the local wording.
How do we make money on low-margin inspections?
By being upfront about repairs. Explain what commonly fails, what it costs to rectify and that you can do it same day. Most inspection revenue comes from the work that follows, and honesty about it converts better than surprise.
Is online booking worth the effort?
It's one of the highest-impact changes in this category. The searcher wants a time slot, not a conversation, and workshops that let them pick one usually take bookings from competitors who only accept phone calls.
