How a Bakersfield European Auto Shop Added $1M in Revenue in 12 Months

For a decade, this specialty European Automotive shop in Bakersfield followed a predictable path. From 2014 to 2024, they saw "safe" growth—roughly $2k to $4k in additional revenue each year. It was steady, but it wasn't a breakthrough.

In February 2025, we installed the AdsMogul revenue infrastructure. We stopped guessing and started testing.

The 17-Day December Blitz

To prove the scalability of our system, we ran a specific aggressive campaign over a 17-day stretch in December. While most businesses are slowing down for the holidays, we doubled down. As shown in the data above, the infrastructure didn't just hold—it accelerated, proving that "seasonal slumps" are often just a lack of proper lead systems.

The Lead Follow-Up Crisis

Despite the massive influx of leads, we hit a wall. The business was growing, but the conversion rate from lead-to-repair-order was stagnant. The problem? We gave the shop owner the "reigns" of the leads.

Like many busy shop owners, they were calling leads at the end of a long day—or worse, letting them sit for a week. In the world of high-end European repair, speed is everything. A lead that waits 48 hours is a lead that goes to a competitor.

The AdsMogul Intervention

After several stern conversations, I realized the owner needed to focus on the cars, not the CRM. I took the follow-up into my own hands, acting as the pseudo-in-place marketer for the company.

We implemented a rigorous verification system: Phone numbers were verified with a code to ensure 100% lead quality. I took over the texting and calling, following up properly and professionally.

$1,000,000 Later

The numbers don't lie. By combining hyper-targeted Bakersfield ads with a relentless, outsourced follow-up system, this shop has increased its annual revenue by over $1,000,000 compared to its 10-year average.
