What tends to win for auto repair shops
- Main category “Auto repair shop”; add “Brake shop” or “Oil change service” only for work you do.
- Shops with clear hours, photos of the bays and reviews that mention the car problem tend to hold more of the map.
- Auto repair searches are very local, so a shop rarely ranks far from its address.
