Case study · Auto repair

An auto-care shop's social media, running itself for two months straight.

New Beginning Autos Care is a local Texas auto-care shop and one of the first businesses on the Ricky's Automations platform. The owner doesn't write posts, doesn't design images, and doesn't touch a scheduling tool. The automation does all of it — every week, without a miss.

Why Auto Shops Struggle With Social Media

Every bay is full, the phone is ringing, and posting on Facebook is the last thing anyone has time for.

No time to post

Shop owners are turning wrenches and running the counter. Consistent posting loses to actual work every single week — which is exactly why feeds go quiet.

Quiet feed = lost trust

When a potential customer checks a shop's Facebook page and the last post is from months ago, they quietly move on to the shop that looks active.

Agencies cost too much

Traditional social media agencies want $1,000–$3,000 a month. Scheduling tools still leave the owner doing all the writing and design work.

What the Automation Actually Did

Every number below is real, pulled from the posting system's production database — not a projection.

46 branded posts in 9 weeks

Alternating branded images and video reels, each with the shop's own name, colors, services, and contact info — oil changes, brake specials, seasonal maintenance reminders.

107 publishes across 3 platforms

Each post is adapted and delivered to Facebook, Instagram, and X automatically. Failed publishes are detected, retried, and escalated — a platform hiccup never becomes a silent gap.

A verifiable monthly report

The shop gets a private report link showing exactly what was published, where, and when. No trust-me marketing math — every client can audit their own numbers.

What This Costs

One flat $300/month. No per-post fees, no seat licenses, no long-term contract games. The usual $1,000 enrollment fee is currently waived.

$300 / month flat

Recurring Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok content — created, scheduled, published, and monitored for you.

Your ad budget stays yours

Any boosting or ad spend stays on your own billing method. The monthly fee covers the service, not pass-through ad costs.

Cancel anytime

Month to month. If the automation isn't earning its keep, you stop paying — simple as that.
