Custom Auto Stickers for garages, dealers and the motor trade

Auto sticker guide

Choosing stickers for the motor trade

A garage sticker has to survive oily hands, heated windscreens and car washes while keeping your name in front of the customer until their next visit.

Why garages and dealers use custom auto stickers

A service reminder sticker in the corner of a windscreen is one of the most effective retention tools a garage has. Every time the driver glances at it, they see when the next service is due and who to call.

Dealer stickers on tailgates and number plate surrounds do a similar job for car sales. They remind owners where they bought the car and show other drivers a local dealership name.

Printing your own means your branding, phone number and website are right, rather than a generic template with details handwritten in.

Popular auto stickers for the trade

Motor trade customers order:

• Service reminder stickers – next-due date and mileage with your garage details.
• Dealer badges – tailgate and rear window branding for cars sold.
• Courtesy car stickers – branding and contact details on loan vehicles.
• Workshop labels – oil type, tyre pressure and fluid reminders under the bonnet.
• Valeting and detailing – ‘cleaned by’ stickers left on customers’ cars.
• Tyre and exhaust centres – fitment reminders and branded giveaways.

Materials for glass, paint and engine bays

Service reminders often go inside the windscreen, so they need to be readable through the glass. Ask us to set up a clear vinyl design for inside-glass application, with a writable white panel if you fill in dates by hand.

Dealer badges on paintwork need flexible vinyl that copes with washing and polishing, and die cutting around a logo gives a neat, factory-style finish.

Under-bonnet labels face heat, oil and cleaning fluids. Describe the location and we will advise whether a laminated vinyl will suit or whether a different position would be better.

Placement and writable stickers

Keep windscreen stickers small and in a corner well outside the driver’s line of sight. Check current guidance on what can be placed on a windscreen before choosing a position.

If your technicians handwrite mileage and dates, test which pen works with the finish. Matte or uncoated areas take ballpoint and permanent marker far better than gloss laminate.

Supply stickers on rolls or sheets depending on how they are used at the service desk. Rolls in a dispenser suit busy workshops.

How auto stickers bring customers back

Customers forget service dates; a sticker in their eyeline does not. Garages that use reminders consistently make it easy for drivers to return rather than search for another workshop.

Dealer branding also turns every car sold into a rolling advert, often for many thousands of miles.
