What they are built on

What Scarborough runs on.

61 sites, 4 platforms, 39 of them carrying a copyright line from this year or last. The remaining 22 either date themselves earlier or carry no date at all — which is usually the more honest signal.

What actually breaks

No enquiry form anywhere on the site
on 32 of them.

Sorted by how often it appears, the fault list for car dealerships in Scarborough starts with no enquiry form anywhere on the site (32 sites) and no structured data for google to read (24). Both are cheap to fix and neither requires rebuilding anything.

We would start at the bottom of that list, not the top — no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does affects fewer sites here (22), which means fixing it puts you ahead of the 39 that already have it right only if the basics are done too.

Who you are up against

597 reviews
from the top five.

A car dealership in Scarborough with 153 reviews is exactly average here. 12 of the 69 hold 4.9 or better, so a high rating is table stakes in this market — the five at the top are separated by volume: 2,071, 1,858, 1,027, 809, 750.

Scarborough holds 69 of the 1,407 dealerships we found across the GTA, which ranks it 4th among the 26 places we surveyed. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside car dealerships.

What this means for you

82% of Scarborough sites
are technically fine.

Dealerships in Scarborough are in better shape than most trades we surveyed — 82% of the 61 sites are secure and work on a phone. Across the GTA the same field sits at 0% with no mobile version; Scarborough is at 0%, near enough the same. Standing out in a market like this takes more than being technically correct: it takes saying something the other 60 sites do not.

Rebuilding one of the 61 sites we opened in Scarborough usually costs less than people expect: $590 to $2,400 depending on size, paid after delivery, with $129 to $590 a month for hosting, edits and the Google listing. Full pricing.

Questions

The usual questions.

How many car dealerships are there in Scarborough?

We counted 69 listed on Google Maps. 61 have a website, 2 have none attached to the listing, and 2 have one that does not load. Of the working sites, 0 have no mobile version and 0 are still served without HTTPS.

How many Google reviews do I need to compete in Scarborough?

There is no single number, but the shape of the market is clear: a quarter of car dealerships in Scarborough sit below 71 reviews, half sit below 153, and the top five run from 750 to 2,071. Getting past the median is a realistic first target; catching the top five usually is not.

What does a website for a car dealership in Scarborough cost?

A one-location car dealership is normally $590 to $1,190, a larger practice with several people and a dozen services runs to $2,400, and law, medical and financial practices sit at $3,900. Payment comes after delivery. The monthly part starts at $129 and covers hosting, edits and your Google listing.

own site land?

Everything above came from opening real websites. Yours takes ten seconds: we load it the way a customer would and say what we find, including when the honest answer is that nothing needs doing.
