Real photos > stock photos. Every. Single. Time. 📸
If you run a car bodyshop and your social media is all polished stock images of perfect workshops and ‘overly smiley’ models in spotless overalls… your customers can see it from a mile away. And honestly? They scroll straight past.
When you post 'real photos' of your workshop, your team, and the actual cars you’ve worked on:
✅ People see the faces behind the business
✅ Locals start to recognise your shop when they drive by
✅ Customers feel like they “know” you before they even walk through the door
✅ Engagement skyrockets (because authenticity always wins!)
Your followers want to see the paint dust on your floor, the happy faces when you hand back a freshly repaired car, and maybe even that one team member who loves a photobomb. 😊
The beauty is... you’re not just showcasing what you do. You’re building trust. You’re reminding people that you are real, local, and genuinely proud of your work.
💡 Pro tip: Take pics on the job, not just the finished product. People love a good “before & after”!
Real photos on social media just hit different!
