What does your service offer that I cannot find with a quick internet search?
Answer that and then ask if people would pay for it.
I would definitely go with a lead gen where the shop pays you for the lead. Pricing structure would be different for each expertise because a full body shop will not pay as much as an oil change shop. Ask the shops you talk to what a customer is worth and you can price off of this. My suggestion would be to stay away from commodity services such as oil changes. You could possibly run ads for them on the site but this is not going to be your money maker.
FREE IDEA: I had this awhile back and wrote it in my little black book. Make a "Crash 911" App for when people have an accident they can press a button and get a quick listing of local towing companies and body shops. You could also build insurance and police information in as well.
You can charge a lead for the towing service as well as the shop service and it is automated.
