About
Built From Inside a Working Shop.
True Auto Growth is founder-led and works from inside a paint protection film, ceramic coating and tint shop. We understand the work, and we understand the business around the work.
Background
We Work Inside the Shop, Not Just the Ad Account.
Sean Kennedy founded True Auto Growth after seven years spent working on the business behind shops in this industry. Today, True Auto Growth operates from inside a working PPF, ceramic coating and tint shop.
We are not a shop ourselves. We work from inside one. The person who scopes the work is the person who runs it, and there is no account manager in between.
We know what happens after the lead
Quoting, scheduling, capacity, lead quality and follow-up. The parts of growth that never appear in an ad platform, and the parts that decide whether a busy month was a good one.
We only work in this industry
Not restaurants, not dentists, not general small business. The buyer behavior we build around is the one we have sold to directly.
We care past the campaign metrics
A month of cheap leads the shop cannot produce profitably is not a result. Revenue and capacity are the measures that matter.
We build for the long version
Strategy is built around the shop's capacity, services, goals and market, which only works if we are still there in twelve months.
Who you are working with
You should not have to teach us your own trade.
One trade, nothing else
Seven years marketing protection and detailing shops.
Not restaurants, not dentists, not general small business. The buyer behaviour we build around is the one we have sold to directly.
Inside a working shop
Paint protection film, ceramic coating and window tint, every day.
Quoting, capacity, scheduling and the estimates that go quiet on a Friday happen in earshot. Those are not theories here.
The whole path, not one channel
Position, demand, conversion and tracking, run as one job.
We are answerable for what reaches the schedule, not for the performance of one square of it. That is the difference between this and hiring a channel.
One shop per market
A bad fit costs us that market.
It is why the first answer is sometimes no, and why the work goes deep on one shop rather than spreading the same playbook across its competitors.
We work in this trade only, and we say no to the shops we cannot help.
Where we sit
Close Enough to Hear the Quotes Going Out.
We hear which ones go quiet, and we know what the bay can actually produce in a week. Those are not theories to us.
How we work
One Shop Per Market.
We do not work with competing shops in the same market. If an area is taken, we say so early.
Exclusivity is not a sales device. It is the only way to build a strategy properly. Two shops in one market means either the same playbook run twice, or one client quietly getting the weaker version of it.
It also means we turn work away, which is a real cost and the reason we check the market before anything else. It qualifies both directions, and it is why the first answer you get from us is sometimes no.
How we work
The Standards We Hold Ourselves To.
Most owners reading this have paid someone before and got generic campaigns, low intent leads and vague reporting. These are the specific things we do differently, stated so you can hold us to them.
01
We take the whole path, or we call it a project
Position, visibility, the site, follow-up and the tracking that proves what happened. Not one channel with the gaps between them left to you, because that is where most of the lost revenue actually sits. If you want a single piece run on its own we will still do it, priced as a project on the systems page, and we will say plainly that it is not the same job.
02
No promised number, from us or anyone
Not a revenue figure, not a ranking, not a lead count, not a success rate, not an average return. Nobody controls your market, your capacity, your pricing and who answers your phone, so nobody can honestly promise what comes out of them. Anyone who does is guessing in a confident voice.
03
The price is on the site
$2,500, $4,500 and $7,500 a month, for the whole engagement. You should not have to sit through a call to find out whether you can afford someone.
04
The exclusions are on the site too
What is not in each system is written down next to what is. Unclear scope costs shops as much as unclear price, and it is the thing that turns into an argument in month three.
05
We will tell you not to hire us
There is a section on this site that names four situations where you should spend the money somewhere else, including the cheaper tool to go buy instead. We take one shop per market, so a bad fit costs us the whole market for a year.
06
The only guarantee is on our own work
If the tracking, follow-up and lead flow are not live and producing attributable leads within 90 days, billing stops until they are. We control every input to that. That is exactly why we will put it in writing and will not put a revenue figure in writing.
What happens next
Let’s find what is holding the shop back.
Send us the business and we will tell you honestly whether the market is open and whether we believe we can help. We take one shop per market, so the answer is sometimes no.
No hard sell. No instant calendar ambush. A real review from inside the industry.
