Can I use Google to search for the number of auto repair shops in a particular area?

Posted by admin on December 4, 2011

I was told that Google has a search feature that will allow you to find out how many locations of a specific type of business, in my case – auto repair shops, are within a certain number of miles. For instance, I could find out how many auto repair shops are within a 20 mile radius of my zip code.

If there is such a tool, how do I access it?
Clarification: I’m trying to find the total number of auto repair shops within a specific distance, not just the number of, say – ABC Auto Repair.

I have not seen a function that gives a hard geographical radius limit, there is such a function for their paid advertising.

Their local search functionally allows you to find many shops within your community but will all show many other results:

Google: auto repair, your city

I would probably just count the lines in a more conventional yellow page listing.

Posted by admin on October 27, 2011

I am employed by a company who offers services to the auto repair Industry. As of right now our most effective method of advertising is email. Any advice on other effective methods of reaching body shop owners and managers?

Put a dent in your car, and put a business card under your own windshield wiper saying, I already know how to fix this dent. Take this card and call me in the evening if you need a good worker.

Auto Repair: Fix Transmission Shift Problem Ford 5R55E Explorer more – 1AAuto.com

Posted by admin on October 11, 2011

Ford used the 5R55E in many rear and 4 wheel Drive applications. It is a good transmission but is susceptible to the valve body gasket “blowing out.” The symptom of this in our vehicle was that the transmission missed second gear under acceleration but found a higher gear when we let off the gas pedal. This is an easy problem to diagnose and only requires basic tools. Pull your transmission pan down, remove your valve body and see if either the gasket between the plate and transmission is damaged (as on our Explorer) or the gasket between the plate and valve body is damaged. If they are then you have an inexpensive rewarding fix. If they aren’t you can put your transmission together and know you may have a more expensive problem. This transmission was used in Ford Aerostar, Ranger, Explorer, Thunderbird, Mustang Mazda B-Series pickup, Mercury Mountaineer, Lincoln LS and Jaquar S-Type. This problem is more common to the mid to late 90s models. Torque specifications for the valve body to transmission bolts are 6-8 foot lbs or 70-90 Inch lbs. The bolts that hold the transmission pan on are 10 foot lbs.
