Kørsel – Car Services, Auto Wash & Repair

A garage fills up with people in a hurry and quotes nobody can give over the phone

If you run a garage, a car wash or a tyre business, you know the scene: a customer calls, asks how much it costs and hangs up if they don't get a rough figure. A website that doesn't answer that loses the call. Kørsel is a theme designed for automotive aftermarket businesses: repair, scheduled maintenance, washing and cleaning, tyre or battery replacement, wheel fitting and oil changes.

Cost calculator and elements to explain services

The most useful piece for this sector is Bold Themes' Cost Calculator plugin, which is included and comes with several predefined examples. It does not replace a fixed quote and does not manage appointments.

Besides the calculator, the theme includes these elements for a garage's content:

• Service and Price list
• Working hours
• Process and Steps
• Testimonials and Quotes
• Google Maps and Open Street Map elements.

Ten homepages and Kørsel's own editor

Kørsel comes with ten homepages and several ready-made inner pages. To create your own, use Bold Builder, a drag and drop editor with responsive options, copy and paste of content between pages or between websites, and the ability to show or hide blocks depending on screen resolution. It also lets you schedule content to appear for a limited time, useful for a seasonal tyre promotion.

Design settings

There are several header styles (including a sticky header), mega menu, color schemes, parallax effects, page transitions, Google Fonts, a coming soon page design and a custom background for the 404 page. Options are managed from the WordPress Customizer. You can also change settings on individual pages without touching the global ones.

Online bookings need a separate plugin

Before choosing it, it helps to separate what it already solves from what you will have to cover yourself.

• Already solved: responsive and retina design, cost calculator, forms with Contact Form 7, visual editor, timeline with Bold Timeline Lite, demo content importer, a translation-ready theme that works with a child theme.
• With another plugin: an appointment booking system with a calendar and confirmations. The forms plugin is Contact Form 7, which collects enquiries but does not manage a schedule.
• By hand or with a professional: the texts, your real rates, photos of your garage and setting up the calculator with your prices.
• Compatible, but you must install it: WooCommerce if you want to sell accessories or tyres, WPML for multiple languages, Yoast and W3 Total Cache.

The demo images are not for your website

The photos in the demos are not licensed for use on a production website. If you like them, you will have to obtain them separately; the usual approach is to replace them with real photos of your premises and your team, which also convey more to someone searching for a nearby garage.

Frequently asked questions about Kørsel

Is it suitable for a car wash or only for garages?

It suits both: it is designed for repair, maintenance, car cleaning and washing, and tyre and battery replacement.

Can I show fixed prices?

Yes, with the price list element.

Do I need to know how to code?

Not for the usual tasks: you import a demo and replace the content with the editor. For deeper design changes, a professional is advisable.

Is it ready for another language?

It is translation-ready and compatible with WPML. Check in the demo how your language looks before deciding.

Can I set up a store?

It is compatible with WooCommerce, but you set up the store itself with that plugin.
