Business Email & Google Setup

Shop email on your own domain, and a Google listing you actually control. Customers look for a shop they can reach and a Google listing they can trust. We help auto repair shops set up Google Workspace, move old mail, and claim, verify, and maintain a Google Business Profile. If you already have a domain or listing, we can start there. Request help or call 208-801-2821.

Switching to business email, step by step

Sign up for Google Workspace using your shop's own domain (for example, you@yourshop.com).
Verify your domain. Google gives you a TXT verification code. Add it in your domain's DNS settings where you bought the domain (GoDaddy, Wix, Squarespace, and so on), then click Verify in the Google Admin console. It usually works within an hour, but can take up to 48 hours.
Point your MX records to Google. In the same DNS settings, delete the old MX records and add Google's MX record: smtp.google.com, priority 1. Until this step is done, new mail keeps going to your old inbox.
Switch over from your personal Gmail. Use the Data migration tool in the Admin console to bring over old mail and contacts, or set your personal Gmail to forward to the new address. Then update the email on your Google Business Profile, website, invoices, and shop software.

What we help with

Business email on your shop's domain
Get addresses like service@yourshop.com instead of a personal Gmail. We help you sign up for Google Workspace (mail, calendar, and the usual Google tools) on a domain you control. Start Google Workspace

Moving your old email
We help you bring existing mail, contacts, and calendars over where that is practical. You keep using email while the changeover happens, and we tell you what to do on which day.

Google Business Profile
We help you create or claim your shop's profile on Google Search and Maps, complete verification, and keep hours, photos, services, and reviews current. We will not create a duplicate profile.

Email that arrives in the inbox
We set up the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records at your domain host and explain each one in plain language, so your mail is more likely to reach the inbox.

Ongoing help
Hours change, a new person needs a mailbox, or Google asks you to re-verify. You can come back to us after the first setup.

What your shop gets
- A professional address like service@yourshop.com, so customers know the email is really from you.
- Separate addresses for the front counter, service, and parts, all under one account.
- Email on your phone, tablet, and shop computer, with spam and phishing filtering built in.
- Google Calendar, Drive, and Meet included, with 30 GB of storage per user on Business Starter.
- Pricing from $7 per user per month on an annual plan, or $8.40 month to month, with a 14-day free trial.

After setup: once your MX records point to Google, new mail usually starts arriving in the new inbox within a few hours. In rare cases it takes up to 48 hours. Keep checking your old inbox until then.
