In Lake in the Hills, IL, things couldn't get much better for Amy and Jeff Besthoff. They opened Jeff's Auto Service 15 years ago, advertising with fliers and the phone book, and saw a steady flow of customers. Since joining MerchantCircle in 2007, there business has more than doubled!
"I absolutely love MerchantCircle," says Amy. "It was my first time being on the web, and MerchantCircle was so easy-to-use and self-explanatory. My MerchantCircle listing comes up first in search engines in just about every automotive service term you can think of."
The Besthoff's started Jeff's Auto Service because of their love of muscle cars. As a hobby, they went drag racing every Saturday. That is, until business got so good they had to extend their hours through Saturday. Even with the extended hours, they may still need to hire another mechanic!
Today, they won't even consider going back to the phone book - the $600 a year they paid for a half-page ad is in their past, as they're busy making way for new customers they've found on the web.
