Launching a Specialist Online Presence for a Specialist Mechanic
We partnered with Elite European, a newly established automotive workshop in Pukekohe, to design and develop a modern, high-performing website.
Our goal was to help them build a strong online presence from the ground up — starting with a temporary landing page and evolving into a full 6–7 page website. The result is a sleek, professional site that reflects their specialisation in servicing premium European vehicles and drives customer inquiries through clear, conversion-focused pathways.

Elite European is a new automotive servicing and repair workshop based in Pukekohe, Auckland.
Founded by experienced mechanic Luke Brown, the business specialises in servicing high-performance European vehicles, including BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz.
With a strong technical background and access to top-of-the-line diagnostic tools, Elite European is setting a new standard for European vehicle care in the Franklin region.
With years of hands-on experience in high-performing workshop environments, Luke was ready to launch his first independent business. He identified a clear gap in the Pukekohe market for specialised European vehicle servicing and saw an opportunity to bring dealership-level expertise to local drivers.
However, as a brand-new business, Elite European had no existing digital presence. The challenge was to establish credibility quickly, convey the high-end nature of the services offered, and make it easy for customers to understand the value and book in confidently. There was also a need to support the brand roll out with clear, consistent messaging and a polished design that aligned with their signage and workshop aesthetic.
Luke approached RAZOR to help bring his vision to life, based on our proven track record in website design, content writing, and small business brand launches.
We proposed a two-phase approach:
Phase 1: A professionally branded temporary landing page to capture early inquiries and establish an immediate digital footprint.
Phase 2: A full, SEO optimised 6–7 page WordPress website with dedicated service pages, an FAQ section, and blog functionality for long-term content growth.
The site features a clean, modern layout aligned with Elite European’s new branding, created by SignMax. We crafted content that reinforces trust, professionalism, and local expertise — positioning the business as Pukekohe’s go-to workshop for European cars. Clear calls to action, strong testimonials, and accreditation logos (e.g. MTA Certified) help reinforce credibility and drive conversions.
"When starting up my new business, it was important to have a website that was professional and sleek but user friendly and engaging for potential customers. Razor was recommended to me by a couple of people, and after a meeting with them I was impressed with the level of professionalism and detail – so decided to go ahead with Razor. The website building process was very particular and thorough and the end result was something I am happy with. We have a lot of traffic and bookings coming through our website which is a testament to the team at Razor and their efforts."
