Merit 01
Longer viewing
The hands and the sound
A photo of the finished car does not show what work went into it. Film the hands raising the lift and the sound of the impact wrench, and the job gets through even to people who never read a caption.
Merit 02
Helps with hiring
Show a mechanic's day
The feel of the workshop and how the senior mechanics work never make it into a job ad. Film from the mechanic's view on the same shoot day as your marketing video, and people thinking of applying see the work itself.
Merit 03
No performers
Show the skill
Plenty of mechanics would rather stay off camera. Only the hands, the tools and the car are on screen, so the skill comes across without faces, and the footage goes straight onto stock pages and into ads.
Merit 04
Plenty of videos
Plenty of videos
On a fully booked day there is no time to stop for filming. Shoot the usual work in first person as it happens, and one day in the workshop becomes a whole batch of videos.
Why TripClear
Reason 01
Japan's first
A professional POV team
We are the first social media marketing company in Japan to become an official Insta360 partner. A small camera on the mechanic's chest or head records the hands and the sound of the tools just as they are.
Reason 02
10M+views/month
An organic track record that speaks for itself
We learned which videos grow by running accounts without relying on ads. A video that performs well can go straight onto used-car stock pages and into ads.
Reason 03
Sharp angles
Hands-on insight across industries
We start by writing out a day of work at your shop and picking the jobs that the hands and the sound can carry. This is also where we decide whether to lead with inspections, tyre changes or custom work.
Reason 04
Fully handled
From filming to reuse, all in one place
8 to 10 videos from a 6-hour day. We film on a quieter day and make enough to cover the busy inspection season. A video shot from the worker's view can also be used to recruit mechanics.
POV Image
One example, from putting the car on the lift to the finished job, laid out through the eyes of the person doing the work. The actual scenes and their order are set in a shoot plan for each shop.

FAQ
We film without stopping anything. A small camera on the mechanic's chest or head records the usual work in first person. Nobody waits on the shoot, and we schedule it for a quieter day.
We only film customers' cars when the owner has agreed in advance. Number plates are kept out of frame or blurred before posting, and any shot showing personal details such as work orders or registration papers is cut.
A photo of the finished car rarely shows what work was done. Show the job from lift to finish through the hands and the sound, and viewers get drawn in partway and watch to the end.
We decide at the first meeting, once we know your main sources of revenue and the work you want more of. One option is to catch car lovers' eyes with custom work and take inspection and repair enquiries through your profile and LINE.
Yes. Film the engine starting and the state of the underside in first person, and buyers see what photos cannot show. With a video on the stock page, people can check the car's condition before they enquire.
Yes. On the same shoot day as your marketing video, we film from arrival to the work itself through the worker's eyes, and the footage can go on your job page and recruitment social accounts. If you want us to bring in applicants too, see Performance-based recruitment marketing for auto repair shops and car workshops.
Social media management and POV video production come as a single plan, from JPY 300,000 a month. Pricing moves with the number of videos and the ideas behind them, so we quote individually once we know how often you want to film and what the concepts are. Secondary use is allowed, and recommendations for linking with ads are included. There is no charge for filming equipment (as an official Insta360 partner, we lend it). If ads are run, media spend is charged separately at cost.
