Merit 01
New reach
Show passers-by
Unless inspection is due, a garage is just somewhere people drive past. Vertical video that lands in recommended feeds shows local car fans what actually goes on inside.
Merit 02
Clear results
Track it in numbers
Posting photos doesn't tell you how many cars came in because of them. Count DMs and LINE bookings per post and you can see which videos brought in work.
Merit 03
Helps with hiring
Show the mechanic's job
A free lift is no use without a mechanic to work it. With videos from the worker's point of view on your account, people unsure about applying see what the job ad can't show.
Merit 04
No extra store work
Keep posting
In a busy season nobody has time to pick up a phone in oily gloves. Hand filming through posting to us and the updates keep coming without stopping the work.
Why TripClear
Reason 01
3.8×
More saves, more branded search, longer viewing
POV that follows the job from the lift to the finished car, through the mechanic's own eyes, is watched for 30 to 40 seconds per view and saved 3.8 times as often as regular video. Prices and booking sit behind the link.
Reason 02
Fully handled
One-stop management
We ask which work you want to show, which bookings you want more of and which stock you want to sell, then give each platform a role. DMs and LINE bookings are counted, and enquiries and bookings reported monthly.
Reason 03
Japan's first
A professional POV team
As Japan's first official Insta360 partner, we film repairs, custom work and handovers together in one day. How customers' cars and plates appear is agreed at the first meeting.
Reason 04
10M+views/month
An organic track record that speaks for itself
We have grown accounts organically, without ad spend. For every video we check where viewers drop off and the completion rate, then build the next ideas on the jobs that got the best response.
Photos of finished cars still have their place, but when you want to show the hands and sounds of the work as they are, POV is an option. Here is one example that fits the job from lift to finished car into 30 seconds.

Results
Auto Repair & Custom Shop / SNS Account
Everyday jobs such as tyre and oil changes, filmed and posted from the point of view of the mechanic doing them. The sound of tools and engines is left in, and we handle 8 videos a month from planning through filming, editing and posting.
46k followers across 2 platforms
About 930k views in 2 months, with DMs leading to repair jobs and car sales
Process
From choosing which jobs to show through posting, analysis and improvement, the same team handles it all
Phase01
We first decide which work to feature and which bookings to grow.
Phase02
Ideas are lined up around inspection timing and seasonal tyre changes.
Phase03
We follow your work schedule and film hands and sounds in batches.
Phase04
The tool sounds stay in, and any visible number plates are hidden.
Phase05
Jobs that performed are expanded, and we review by DMs and bookings.

FAQ
No. With POV, the camera sits on the mechanic's chest and the usual work becomes the footage. We never ask you to free up a lift or hold a job for filming.
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.
TripClear Inc. (Shinsen-cho, Shibuya, Tokyo). Our core business is social media management and vertical short-form video production, and we support auto repair shops and car workshops. For company details, see TEAM.
Photos of finished cars make every shop look the same. Add hands at work, the sound of tools and the mechanic's voice, and people find a reason to choose you. We start by filming your everyday jobs.
Number plates are blurred in the edit. If a car's model or colour could identify its owner, we get the customer's agreement before filming. Which cars can be filmed is decided with you at the first meeting.
It depends on where your revenue comes from and which work you want more of. Custom work tends to draw people in, while inspections and repairs convert well through LINE reminders. We often run both, each with its own role.
Yes. A first-person walk around the exterior, interior, engine sound and underside shows a car's condition better than photos. Posts send people to your stock pages, and we review by the number of enquiries.
Yes. Videos showing hands at work also show what it's like to work in your garage. The same filming speaks to both customers and job seekers, so we agree how to present it first, then adjust as we see how applications move.
Yes. The results section on this page introduces our work with auto repair shops and car workshops. Our track record across other industries is collected in Works.
