Merit 01
Combined impact
One shoot works on every surface
Hire social, stock pages and ads separately and you end up filming the same job again and again. Use one shoot everywhere, and your skill and the cars you sell come across in the same words.
Merit 02
Landing reservations
From the job they watched to booking and stock
A tyre change video may catch someone's eye, but if the only way to book is a phone number, it gets put off. With booking and stock pages right after the video, viewers can act on the spot.
Merit 03
Clear paths
See which post brought the car in
Views alone won't tell you why inspection bookings went up. Track the path from post to booking to deal, and you can choose the next job to film and the ad budget by the numbers.
Merit 04
Repeat visits
A LINE message when inspection is due
Inspections come every two years, and in between your name fades. If customers are on LINE, you can send a reminder and a booking link shortly before it expires.
Why TripClear
Reason 01
Designed end to end
From repairs to car sales, designed by one company
We lay out where revenue comes from across inspections, repairs, custom work and sales, then set the order and budget. Social, stock pages and ads all carry the same message.
Reason 02
Past the click
Phone bookings counted by entry point too
We add tags and UTMs to the booking form and stock pages and compare bookings and enquiries by entry point. Phone bookings are added too, with one quick question at the counter.
Reason 03
Repeats included
Staying in touch on LINE until the next inspection
Thank-yous after delivery, reminders for check-ups and tyre changes, and notices before inspection expires go into a LINE scenario. We run it in your name, so the settings and data stay with you.
Reason 04
AI-powered
Sharpening job videos quickly with AI
AI reads post reactions and enquiries together, and we push the jobs that brought cars in with ads. POV video, filmed first-person at the hands, is also an option.

FAQ
It depends on the scope. The quote changes with which of SEO articles, social ads, account management, landing pages, conversion tracking and LINE we take on. We quote individually after the first hearing. Ad delivery costs are paid to the platforms at cost, separately from the quote.
We usually start with repairs. People who come in for an inspection or a tyre change get to know the shop, and once they trust you, buying a car from you comes naturally. If you carry plenty of stock and sales are your main income, we start with the stock instead.
Yes. Paper ledger or booking system, you can start by putting a booking form or LINE at the entry point and adding one column for where the customer came from. Whether to switch systems can wait until the numbers build up.
In the end we look at how many cars come in and how many sales close. Before that we track profile visits from posts, booking form submissions, enquiries from stock pages and LINE friends. We agree on how to measure before we start.
No. With POV, the camera goes on the mechanic's head or chest and we film along with the usual flow of work. Nobody, staff or customers, is kept waiting for the shoot. For details, see POV video for auto repair shops and car workshops.
We blur number plates in editing and only use customers' cars when they have agreed. Even without that, shooting close on hands and tools shows the work well enough.
