Flash's Auto Body & Paint

Flash's sits at #2 in the Spokane local pack for "auto body shop spokane." That's a real position. A 4.9 rating across 326 reviews gives the profile authority most shops never build. The gap is structural, not cosmetic. Google can't confirm what Flash's is without LocalBusiness schema — the site never formally declares its business type, address, and service area in a format search engines parse directly. That's the one fix that moves a #2 toward #1. Seven of eleven images also lack alt text, which leaves ranking signals on the table every time a page loads. The localization foundation is strong — title, meta, and contact details all anchor the site to Spokane at a 95/100 signal. That's the floor this report builds from. The sections below show exactly where schema needs to be added and which images are missing tags.
