MRC Performance
I have been in business for over 10 Years and recently moved to AGR Technology for all our IT needs. They are able to fix nearly anything remotely and always very helpful in recommending appropriate hardware upgrades that do the job as required but not costing more than needed.
Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear. He is understanding towards his client's needs and goals and he is willing to work with his client in achieving those goals. He is a very polite and well mannered person and very calm and gentle in his approach. I would highly recommend Alessio's services to anyone.

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.
He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

Understanding Google Ads for Auto Repair Shops
Google Ads connects auto repair shops directly with customers searching for mechanical repairs online. Leveraging intent-driven advertising helps local businesses secure real bookings and grow service revenue.
What Are Google Ads?
Google Ads is an online advertising platform running on a pay-per-click (PPC) basis. We place targeted ads at the top of Google’s search results, on the Display Network, and across Google Maps. These placements ensure high visibility for essential services—think brake repairs, oil changes, diagnostics, or emergency towing. With Google Ads, our auto repair campaigns reach customers ready to book or respond immediately, as the ads trigger only when users express active intent (“auto repair shop near me,” “urgent car repair Sydney,” or “mechanic open now”). Robust campaign controls allow precise geographic targeting, so ads show up in the right postcodes or city zones.
Why Google Ads Matter for Auto Repair Shops
Google Ads transforms auto repair marketing by reaching customers at the moment they need help. Over 92% of Australians use Google when searching for car services. Our well-optimised campaigns drive local traffic, convert searchers into callers, and grow bookings. We benefit from:
- Qualified leads: Ads target high-intent keywords—such as “logbook service”, “roadworthy certificate”, or “same-day mechanic”—to capture customers seconds before they choose a shop.
- Local dominance: Hyperlocal ads and location extensions display our business to drivers in the neighbourhood, using maps pins and “call now” features.
- Clear ROI: Every click and conversion is measured with precise analytics, so we spend only on campaigns that deliver new bookings or phone calls.
- Trust-building features: Options like verified reviews, service highlights, and real-time availability foster confidence and set us apart from competitors.
Google Ads for auto repairs isn’t just digital marketing. It’s an active pipeline delivering consistent, profitable appointments and superior business growth.

Running a successful auto repair shop means staying visible where your customers search most—on Google. With AGR Technology, we streamline the entire process so you spend less, attract high-quality leads, and turn clicks into appointments.

- High-intent keywords: Words like “emergency auto repair near me,” “log book servicing,” or “brake replacement Newcastle” filter for those ready to book today.
- Location-based phrases: Incorporating suburb or city-specific terms draws attention from local drivers actively searching in your area.
