Why Facebook and Instagram ads work for auto body shops
Most collision customers choose a shop after an accident, often guided by insurers. Facebook builds recognition so drivers know they can choose their own shop, and hail events create urgent local demand.
Common problems I fix
- Insurer-directed customers
- Seasonal hail spikes
- Low awareness
