Macchina - Auto Repair WordPress Theme 33.0

Macchina is a specialized, high-performance WordPress theme (often also available as an Elementor Template Kit) built for auto repair shops, car mechanics, tire services, and car detailing businesses. Developed by ModelTheme, it focuses on a rugged, industrial design that emphasizes speed, technical expertise, and customer trust.

Unlike a simple "Template Kit," if you are using the Macchina Full Theme, it comes with built-in functionalities like service calculators and appointment booking integrations.

## Key Features

Niche-Specific Design: Features a bold, "grease-and-gear" aesthetic with high-contrast colors (often Red, Yellow, or Blue against Dark Grey).

Service Cost Calculator: Often includes a tool for customers to estimate repair costs before booking.

Appointment Booking: Integrated functionality for clients to schedule oil changes or inspections directly online.

WooCommerce Ready: Ideal if you sell car parts, lubricants, or accessories alongside your repair services.

Elementor Powered: Even as a full theme, it uses Elementor as its core page builder, allowing for easy "drag-and-drop" customization.

### Technical Requirements

If you are installing the Macchina Theme, ensure your hosting environment is ready:

PHP Version: 7.4 or higher (8.1+ recommended).

Memory Limit: At least 256MB (512MB is better for smooth Elementor editing).

Required Plugins: Usually bundled with the theme, including Redux Framework, Elementor, and ModelTheme Extensions.

### Setup & Shop Strategy

Demo Content Import: Use the "One-Click Demo Import" provided by ModelTheme. This is the fastest way to get the mechanical icons and technical layouts in place.

Service Icons: Macchina relies heavily on specific automotive icons. Use the built-in icon sets to represent "Brakes," "Suspension," and "Battery" so customers can find what they need at a glance.

Booking Configuration: If you're using the integrated booking system, make sure to set your Business Hours correctly in the theme options so customers don't book times when the shop is closed.

Before & After Slider: For detailing or body shop services, use an image comparison slider to show the restoration of a damaged vehicle. This is a powerful "social proof" tool for mechanics.

Pro Tip: For auto repair, Local SEO is everything. Ensure your phone number is "Click-to-Call" in the header so a driver stranded on the side of the road can reach you with one tap on their smartphone.
