# Help drivers choose the right service request

An illustrative plan to adapt to your actual services. Page routes, form fields and category descriptions are a starting point.

| Driver’s question | Page content needed | First useful detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Is my car due for scheduled maintenance? | Makes served, maintenance scope and how the shop prepares an estimate. | Make, model, year and approximate mileage. |
| Can you diagnose this warning light? | The diagnostic process, appointment route and how findings are explained. | Vehicle details and the warning shown; avoid an online diagnosis. |
| Do you repair brakes or tires? | Actual services, parts/inspection process and applicable warranty terms. | The service requested and preferred visit period. |
| Can I get the car to your shop? | Location, opening hours, access and any real towing arrangement. | Whether the vehicle is already at the shop or needs transport. |

## Page plan

- `/auto-repair/` — **Repair services:** Direct drivers to the work the shop accepts.
- `/maintenance/` — **Scheduled maintenance:** Explain maintenance separately from fault diagnosis.
- `/diagnostics/` — **Diagnostics:** Describe assessment and approval before repair.
- `/brake-service/` — **Brake service:** Answer one high-concern service question clearly.
- `/visit/` — **Plan your visit:** Make the real address, hours and visit request easy to use on a phone.

## Try a service request

| Field | First request | Options or hint |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Vehicle make, model and year | Required | Example: Toyota Corolla, 2018. |
| What do you need? | Required | Scheduled maintenance; Warning-light diagnosis; Brake service; Other repair |
| Approximate mileage | Optional | An estimate is enough for the initial request. |
| Preferred visit period | Optional | This week; Next week; Flexible |

## Category decision

- **Auto repair shop:** A primary candidate for a general repair workshop.
- **A specific repair specialty:** Use an available specialist category only when it reflects a genuine service, such as tires or transmission work.

These are descriptions to look for in the live category selector, not a verified category list. Choose the available primary category that best describes the business; add secondary categories only for services it actually provides.

## Code example

AutoRepair can describe the real repair shop. Use confirmed opening hours and contact details; verified certifications belong on the visible page before they are added to code.

```json
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "AutoRepair",
  "name": "Example business",
  "url": "https://example.com/",
  "telephone": "REPLACE_WITH_VERIFIED_NUMBER",
  "areaServed": "Real service area"
}
```

Track qualified service requests as well as contact clicks. A click tells you someone tried; a confirmed request tells you what work they wanted.
