The lead-gen auction racket
They sell the same “diesel repair Phoenix” lead to five shops. The customer calls all five. You race to the bottom on price. A $500 injector diagnostic becomes a $99 quote. This is how a specialty shop dies. Slowly, at the hands of a quick-lube in a nicer URL. Specialty work can’t compete on lead-gen auction pricing. Don’t play that game.
