Garages: be recommended when a driver asks for help
A warning light, a cracked windscreen, a roadworthiness test (contrôle technique) coming up: drivers ask their assistant where to go. Recoia measures whether your garage is named and helps you publish the information assistants reuse: services, makes, prices, lead times.
For: garages, body shops, MOT-style inspection centres, dealerships, rental companies. Updated .
What your customers ask AI assistants
Examples of real-world questions, like the ones Recoia asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews several times to measure who gets recommended. Recoia asks them in French, the language of the market it measures.
- “A reliable garage for a cheap oil change in Paris?”
- “Where can I get a windscreen replaced quickly in Paris?”
- “An insurance-approved body shop in Paris”
- “A vehicle inspection centre in Paris without an appointment”
- “A garage in Paris that specialises in hybrid cars”
Where AI assistants get their information
| Source | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Price comparison sites and garage networks | They provide prices and availability by town. |
| Customer reviews | Honesty and sticking to the quote come up often in answers. |
| Your website | Services, makes, indicative prices and online booking. |
The information your website must give
- Your services and the makes or engine types you work on
- Indicative prices for common jobs
- Lead times, and a courtesy car if you offer one
- Approvals (insurers, networks)
- Opening hours and online booking
The pages to create first
- One page per common job with a “from” price
Oil change, brakes, tyres: the most frequent questions are about price.
- A “Hybrid and electric vehicles” page
A precise speciality answers questions where competition is weaker.
Common mistakes
- No prices on the website
- The makes you work on are not mentioned
- Online booking that is hard to find

Frequently asked questions
Why is a smaller competitor recommended instead of me?
Often because it publishes more precise information or is present on the sources the assistant consults. Recoia’s “Why not me?” analysis shows you the difference.
