Coast Mechanical
Derek from Coast Mechanical has been helping the local Whangaparāoa community with all their automotive mechanical and heavy diesel needs for years. Derek knew he was the go-to guy for many people. From routine vehicle servicing to complex engine diagnostics with specialised tools, his business did well based on the quality of his work and his reputation. But in late 2024, he decided he needed a better way to showcase his work and modernize his marketing activities for his business.

“By far the easiest website builder I have come across. Support is top-notch, any questions are promptly answered and help is always an email away. If I could give Dazzly more than 5 stars I would.”

The website journey
Nag-alok si Derek ng iba't ibang serbisyo at nais niyang tiyakin na may lugar ang mga tao na maaari nilang puntahan. Mayroon siyang magandang reputasyon sa lokal na lugar ng Whangaparāoa ngunit alam niyang nagbabago ang paraan ng paghahanap ng mga tao para sa mga serbisyong mekanikal. Marami siyang mga suki, ngunit kailangan niyang makuha ang mga kustomer na naghahanap ng mga serbisyong mekanikal online. Alam ni Derek na kailangan niyang pagbutihin ang kanyang online presence at lumikha ng isang website upang mahanap siya ng mga tao online. Ang isang website ay hindi lamang isang digital na business card—ito ay isang kasangkapan na tumutulong sa mga kustomer na mahanap ka at magtiwala sa iyo bago pa man sila pumasok sa pintuan.
For example, when offering automotive services and repairs or fleet maintenance, he wanted to be able to show his potential clients simply and efficiently. Plus, he wanted his website to be positive and reflect his personality, and it had to be written in a way that his customers would understand. Derek also had several finished jobs on heavy diesel vehicles, which he had taken photos of and wanted to update his services. People trust businesses that showcase real work, real results, and real experience - it sets them apart from the competition. He had worked on everything from small car repairs to full-scale truck engine rebuilds, and he wanted potential clients to see the quality of his work firsthand. These jobs were impressive and were a specialty to his business.
He asked his wife (Carla), whom Derek calls a "real brainy box", to help him build a website with Dazzly because it would be more affordable and he knew she could do it. She handles most of Derek's marketing and wanted to support him. Carla thought building a website with Dazzly would be simple and affordable. Using a website builder designed for small businesses made the process quick and stress-free, letting them focus on what they do best—running their business.
Plus, they liked that it was a locally owned website builder like Dazzly.
Writing out Derek's services was simple, as was uploading the content onto the website template. He didn't want technical jargon to confuse his customers or put them off contacting him. Many businesses in and around Whangaparāoa relied on heavy diesel vehicles for their jobs. Derek wanted to make sure they knew he was the best person for those vehicle repairs and maintenance. A website that speaks directly to customers in clear, simple language, builds trust and makes it easier for them to take action.
Derek has noticed the difference already. He has quite a few comments about his website and, therefore, recommends Dazzly to his friends. He realizes that having an efficient and organized way to showcase his work is an asset to his business. A website is not a luxury for businesses anymore it is a definite necessity for businesses who are looking to grow and stay competitive.
