Fix these first
Make every bio say which days the bay takes drop-offs and how to message for a slot, so a viewer knows exactly how to visit.
Pin a short video that shows drop-off from the car park to the key handover, so first-time visitors know what to expect.
Ask every customer whether their car may be shown, and keep registration plates and faces out of every photo and clip.
