Brad Brookshaw — Supreme Car Detailing
£2k → £50k/month
Brad was running Supreme Car Detailing in Cannock doing £1,000 to £2,000 a month. He had about 20 customers and was taking on any job that came his way. He was doing everything himself — the detailing work, the quoting, the marketing, the admin. There was no system, no predictable lead flow, and no path to growth beyond working more hours.

Barely a wage → £20k/month
Zach was in a tiny unit, taking on anyone willing to pay, barely taking a wage. He'd worked with another marketing agency that promised the world and delivered nothing. He was sceptical about agencies and unsure whether paid advertising could work for his business.

Over 60 five-star reviews from automotive owners
Still in my first month with Auto Growth but they have been amazing so far, instantly 10x more enquiries and increased visibility. Absolutely amazing difference.
Already Tom and the team have delivered amazing results. I have gone from booking only a week or so in advance to now fully booked 5 weeks in advance — and all with good paying jobs.
I used a few smaller companies but wasn't getting the growth and income I wanted. Finally took the leap and after 4 weeks I'm booked until mid June.
Working with Auto Growth has honestly been one of the best decisions we've made for FixMyAlloys. Bookings are consistently a week out — we've had to invest in a second van.
Already made my money back in the first 2 weeks. I've made more money than ever since marketing with Auto Growth — they do a lot more for you than just marketing.
Six weeks in and the experience has been exceptional. Smooth setup, consistent communication and an intuitive app — they've tripled my workload. I only wish I'd found them sooner.
