Garage Chavrot is a fictional family garage in Villeurbanne, next to Lyon. Its homepage, in French and English, is built to turn drivers who fear being overcharged into booked services, by showing prices before anyone picks up the phone.

The brief
Garage Chavrot is an imaginary all-makes garage in Villeurbanne, open since 1987 and now run by the founder's son, Julien. In this brief, his prices are fair and his team already texts photos of worn parts, but online the garage is just a pin on a map and a phone number. Drivers who are afraid of being overcharged ring round three garages, or pay dealer prices because they think servicing anywhere else will void their warranty. The site has to show real prices, prove the no-surprises promise and let people book a slot without making a call.
Drivers in Villeurbanne and east Lyon who need a service, brakes, tyres or air-con and want a price before they commit, usually on a phone after finding the garage on Google Maps. The English version is for drivers who are more at home in English than in French.
Anatomy of the page
The demo is only the homepage of a Local Plus site (up to 12 pages in 2 languages), shown here from top to bottom.
The page opens on the garage's own repair order: the promise “We show you the part before we replace it”, a box for your number plate and the phone number. A rubber stamp on the photo shows whether the workshop is open right now, in Paris time.
The workshop charter: the quote is the price you pay, every worn part is photographed, the loan car is free and so is a 30-point check. If the garage breaks a rule, the labour is free. Written rules with a penalty are easier to believe than words like “honest” or “trusted”.
Choose one of 4 car sizes and tick any of 6 common jobs. Prices include VAT, and a work-order ticket adds up the total, the VAT, the workshop time and when the car will be ready. One button carries the whole quote into the booking form.
Five steps, from booking to the itemised invoice, sit next to a phone showing a sample text: front pads at 2 mm, €135 to replace, discs within spec and left alone. It shows the no-upsell promise at work instead of just stating it.
A dark section explains that EU law lets you service a car under warranty at an independent garage, lists the 3 conditions and quotes the regulation number. It's there to answer the worry that sends people back to the dealer.
Eight more jobs get a fixed price, a “from” price or “on quote”, from €59 for diagnostics to a clutch from €690. Then come 4 reviews, each one labelled as sample content, because the business is fictional.
A 3-step booking form (car, slot, your details) with a call button beside it for people who'd rather talk. Below: opening hours with today highlighted, the address with parking and metro details, drive times from 6 nearby areas and 8 answers to questions asked at the counter.
Why it gets calls and bookings
Six common jobs show a price including VAT for each of 4 car sizes, and 7 more show a fixed or starting price. A driver who's worried about being overcharged gets a number first, so they can decide before speaking to anyone.
There are no “trusted” badges. Instead, the page shows a sample text with exact measurements (pads at 2 mm against a recommended 3 mm, discs left alone at 25.4 mm) and four written rules, with free labour if one is broken.
Owners of newer cars may think only the dealer can service them. The page explains the EU rule in plain words, lists the 3 conditions, names Regulation (EU) No 461/2010, and repeats the answer in the FAQ, next to a “Price my service” button.
The number plate typed at the top follows you into the quote and the booking form. It understands new plates (AB-123-CD) and old ones (1234 AB 69), flags the letters I, O and U, which new French plates never use, and has a tick box for foreign plates. On phones, the bottom bar turns into the live total with a Book button while you price.
Three short steps, with the car size and jobs carried over when you book from a quote. Sundays and French public holidays are refused as soon as you pick them, the afternoon slot is switched off on Saturdays, and every error message says exactly what to fix.
