Bullet Automotive & Diesel

Case Study: Bullet Automotive & Diesel

The Challenge

Sean and Stephanie Corbin had built a reputation for reliable auto and diesel repair across Colorado. But with four locations — and a brand-new shop in Greeley that was still slow after its first year — the Corbins faced the challenge of building awareness across multiple markets at once.

Each shop needed:

  • Consistent, measurable leads
  • Stronger online visibility against local competitors
  • A unified brand presence across all locations

Without a systematic marketing strategy, they risked leaving bays empty and missing opportunities for growth.

The Honest Mechanic Marketing Solution

Honest Mechanic Marketing built a multi-location marketing system that gave every shop the visibility and lead flow it needed:

  • New Multi-Location Website – Designed to promote all locations simultaneously and capture traffic in each service area.
  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – Targeted keyword campaigns that pushed each shop to the top of Google for high-value search terms like “diesel mechanic near me,” “auto repair shop near me,” and manufacturer-specific repairs.
  • Google Search Ads – Focused, intent-driven campaigns to generate immediate phone calls and booked appointments.
  • Google Local Service Ads (LSA) – Delivered low-cost, high-quality leads from customers ready to book.
  • Transparent Reporting – Full visibility into cost per lead, conversions, and keyword rankings across all markets.

Total Impact Across Locations

  • Local Service Ads (all 3 locations): 651 leads at an average CPL of $26.80
  • SEO: Dramatic keyword growth across all markets, with Fort Morgan rising from near-invisible to dominant, Brighton doubling visibility, and Greeley breaking into page one for competitive terms.

The Transformation

Today, all four Bullet Automotive & Diesel locations run with predictable car count and steady lead flow.

  • Brighton continues to grow with a reliable pipeline of new customers.
  • Fort Morgan, once quiet online, now dominates page one for critical repair terms.
  • Greeley, the newest and largest shop, is no longer struggling — it’s thriving with hundreds of affordable leads filling the bays.

For Sean and Stephanie, this isn’t just about numbers. It’s about confidence. Confidence that every location can sustain itself, every technician will stay busy, and the business can continue scaling without slowing down.
