Marketplace fees cut every margin
Amazon, eBay and other marketplaces take a share of each order. That cost is painful on lower-margin filters, bulbs and service parts, especially when customers also compare your price with dozens of sellers.

Selling auto parts through eBay, Amazon or other marketplaces can bring orders quickly. It also takes a slice from every sale. You often lose control of the customer relationship, too. Your own online shop keeps more of each order and gives you a customer list you can use again.
Auto parts need more than attractive product photos. Customers want to know whether a brake pad, filter, sensor or clutch kit fits their vehicle. They expect registration lookup, clear fitment data, delivery choices and a checkout they can trust.
The problem
Amazon, eBay and other marketplaces take a share of each order. That cost is painful on lower-margin filters, bulbs and service parts, especially when customers also compare your price with dozens of sellers.
Marketplace buyers often remember the platform, not your business. You have limited access to the customer relationship, so repeat sales and seasonal offers remain controlled by someone else.
A basic shop may collect only a name and email address. You then spend time asking for registration, engine, year and part details before you can check whether the item is suitable.
What you get
Every client also takes Website Care at £59 a month. Everything else is modular.
Pricing
Products, payments, shipping, tracking and marketing ready from day one. Ecommerce Care is £99 a month rather than £59, because a shop needs more looking after than a brochure site.

This is a starting price. Once you need ERP, API or genuinely bespoke logic, we quote that separately rather than squeezing it into a fixed package.

The result
Customers can find the right product, confirm delivery, pay securely and receive updates without waiting for a reply. Your own shop handles sales while you focus on stock and customers.
Registration, vehicle, part and quantity details arrive together. You can check fitment and availability sooner, then send a price that matches the actual request.
Orders and enquiries happen through your business rather than only through a marketplace. You can build repeat relationships and send useful offers when customers need related parts.
01
An online shop for auto parts retailers should do more than display a catalogue. It should help a customer find the right part, check out safely, choose delivery and receive order updates without needing you to answer every message. We build those steps into one working system.
Your shop can connect product information, vehicle fitment, stock levels, payment providers, delivery rules and customer emails. That means fewer manual checks and fewer orders getting lost in messages. You can work on the counter, in the warehouse or with suppliers while the shop keeps taking orders.
A website you own also gives you something marketplaces cannot. You keep the customer relationship, your product pages and your sales history. You can follow up with useful offers for servicing parts, seasonal checks and repeat purchases.
We can build a WooCommerce website for an auto parts retailer when its flexible catalogue and payment options suit your business. We explain the choices plainly, then set up the parts that help you sell properly.
02
People often search for a part near home when their car is off the road. They may search for a local motor factor, a replacement battery or a specific brake component. We make your business easier to find when those searches match what you sell.
Your Google Business Profile is the business listing shown in Google Search and Maps. We help keep your address, phone number, opening times, services and website link accurate. We can also add useful updates, products and photos, so local buyers see a current business rather than an empty listing.
Local search work means building clear pages around the areas and parts you serve. That can include Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, North Shields and nearby towns. It can also support customers across the UK when you deliver nationwide.
Your shop and your Google listing should support each other. A customer can find your opening times, check your stock or visit a product page. They can then order online instead of calling several suppliers for the same part.
More detail
The rest of what auto parts retailers ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.
Some parts cannot be bought safely from a simple product name. A customer may need help with a rare vehicle, a commercial van, a modified car or a large order. Your website can collect the details needed to price the request properly.
We write quote forms for auto parts retailers, not generic contact boxes. A customer can provide registration number, make, model, engine, year, part number, quantity and delivery postcode. They can also upload a photo or explain the fault when that helps you identify the part.
The enquiry arrives with useful information, so you spend less time asking basic follow-up questions. You can check fitment, stock, supplier availability and delivery before replying. That makes your answer faster and gives the customer more confidence in the part you recommend.
The same forms can separate a quick retail order from a trade enquiry. You can ask for a VAT number, account details or expected quantity when a garage or fleet buyer needs a different price.
Auto parts buyers want reassurance before paying. They want to know that the part arrived on time, matched the description and fitted the vehicle. Reviews and clear proof help answer those concerns before the customer phones another retailer.
We can set up a simple request after each completed order or collection. The customer receives a polite message asking for feedback at the right time. Good feedback can support your Google Business Profile and your website. A concern can reach you privately, giving you a chance to sort it out.
Product pages can also show useful proof. This may include customer comments, delivery information, warranty details, fitting notes and photographs. These details help buyers compare your offer with an anonymous marketplace listing.
Reviews do not replace accurate fitment data or fair delivery terms. They strengthen them. When a buyer sees that other customers received the right part and helpful service, your shop feels like the safer choice.
A missed call can mean a lost order, especially when a customer needs a part before a vehicle goes back on the road. Our AI Receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name. It gives callers a helpful first response while you keep serving customers or checking stock.
It takes the caller's name, number, vehicle registration, part details and delivery needs. It can sort urgent requests from general enquiries, then texts you the information straight away. You can call back with the details already in hand instead of asking the same questions again.
The AI Receptionist costs £169 a month on its own. It is £199 a month with Ecommerce Care in the Care plus Receptionist bundle. It is not a replacement for your judgement. It is a reliable first response that stops good enquiries disappearing when your phone is busy.
We help shape the call handling around your opening hours, delivery promises and common part enquiries. The aim is simple. More useful messages reach you, and fewer callers hear a voicemail when they need help.
When you are ready to buy leads, Google Ads puts your products and offers in front of people already searching. That might be someone looking for a battery today, a replacement sensor by part number or a supplier for a garage order.
Management costs £449 a month. We manage campaigns, bids, budgets, advert wording, negative keywords and the pages people land on. Negative keywords stop wasted clicks from searches you do not want, such as free manuals or fitting instructions.
Your advertising spend goes directly to Google. We never mark it up. It is separate from our management fee, and you decide the budget. We explain what the campaigns are targeting, what has been spent and what needs changing.
We also set up tracking that links clicks to useful actions. You can see product purchases, quote form submissions, phone calls and other enquiries. That gives you a clearer view of which advertising activity produced real opportunities, not just visits.
A large catalogue needs regular attention. New parts arrive, suppliers change prices, vehicles become older and seasonal demand shifts. Our SEO and Content service costs £249 a month. It includes two useful pages or articles, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, listing work, rank tracking and a monthly report.
The content can answer real buying concerns. Examples include choosing the right battery, understanding brake pad wear, checking a registration number or preparing a van for winter. Useful pages bring in people earlier, then guide them towards the right products or a quote.
Automated Social Media costs £99 a month. It plans, writes and posts content to Facebook and Instagram. You approve a month at one time, rather than trying to create posts between customers and deliveries.
The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month. It gives you a plan built around your business and breaks it into weekly tasks. You always know what to do next, without needing to become a marketing expert.
Ecommerce Launch costs £2,495. It suits a retailer starting online with a focused range and a clear route from product page to checkout. It includes the core shop, payments, delivery setup, product structure and the foundations needed to take orders properly.
Ecommerce Growth costs £3,995 and is the package most businesses should take. It suits retailers with a wider catalogue, fitment needs, more marketing activity or plans to grow beyond a small starting range. It gives us more room to build the sales system around your operation.
Ecommerce Pro starts from £5,995. It is for established retailers with real operational complexity, such as large catalogues, advanced stock needs, supplier connections or more involved customer journeys. We confirm the scope before giving you a final price.
Ecommerce Care is £99 a month and required for every online shop. It includes hosting, security, daily backups, software updates, uptime checks, up to 30 minutes of content changes and email support. A shop needs more care than a brochure site because payments, stock and shop software must keep working. There is also a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term, with no setup fee.
The honest comparison
It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.
If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.
Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.
A £199 builder site
Fine for a basic presence. Not built to win work.
A Look North website
Built so search traffic becomes booked jobs.
Who writes the words
A £199 builder site
You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.
A Look North website
We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.
Whether it shows up on Google
A £199 builder site
It will rank for your business name. Not much else.
A Look North website
A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.
What happens to an enquiry
A £199 builder site
A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.
A Look North website
Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.
When the phone rings and you are on a job
A £199 builder site
It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.
A Look North website
Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.
Knowing what is working
A £199 builder site
A visitor counter, if that.
A Look North website
Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.
Getting reviews
A £199 builder site
You remember to ask, sometimes.
A Look North website
Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.
What happens after launch
A £199 builder site
Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.
A Look North website
The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.
Who owns it
A £199 builder site
The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.
A Look North website
You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.
Speed on a phone
A £199 builder site
Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.
A Look North website
Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.
When something breaks
A £199 builder site
A help centre article and a support queue.
A Look North website
Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.
If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.
What the difference buys
Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.
A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.
One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.
Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.
A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.
Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.
Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.
The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.
Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.
If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.
