About Track & Tune
Track & Tune is a mobile automotive service provider in Essex and London. With nearly five years in the industry, the company offers a range of services, including:
• Remapping
• Vehicle Security Installations (Ghost immobilizers)
• Dashcams and Trackers
While remapping was the core of the business, Luke recognized the growing demand for vehicle security solutions. However, launching this new service presented its own set of challenges, especially in reaching potential customers effectively.
The Challenge
Before partnering with AutoGrowth, Luke faced several obstacles:
1. Ineffective Marketing Strategies: Luke was dissatisfied with his previous experiences with other marketing agencies. One agency failed to deliver results and marketed for multiple competitors in the same area, diluting his brand’s visibility.
2. Limited Reach and Visibility: Relying on word-of-mouth and minimal marketing efforts, Track & Tune struggled to consistently attract new customers, leading to occasional days without work.
3. Time Constraints: As a one-man operation, Luke found it challenging to manage all aspects of the business, from service delivery to handling leads and administrative tasks.
4. Scaling the Business: Luke’s vision was to expand his services across Essex, London, and Suffolk, eventually stepping back from day-to-day operations to focus on business development.
The Search for a Solution
Understanding the need for a specialized approach, Luke spent months researching automotive marketing agencies. His goal was to find a partner who not only understood the automotive industry but could also deliver exclusive, high-quality leads without promoting his competitors.

• Quadrupled Monthly Turnover: From averaging £5,000-£6,000 per month, the turnover soared to over £20,000 in the first month and nearly £24,000 within 35 days.
• Consistent Workload: Luke went from having occasional days off to being fully booked every day, sometimes working late into the evening due to high demand.
• Business Expansion Plans: The surge in business allowed Luke to consider hiring additional staff, including training his wife to manage leads and thinking about bringing on more installers.
• Improved Customer Relationships: With guidance from AutoGrowth, Luke enhanced his sales approach, focusing on honesty and professionalism, leading to higher customer satisfaction and referrals.
