LT Careser is a theme for car service centres and repair workshops, built with free Elementor: a home page that opens with a lit dashboard of warning lights, each tied to the check that answers it and its price, fixed-price servicing, the steps from booking to collection, repairs and the labour rate, the workshop, questions, car care tips and a visit section, plus pages for servicing (interim, full and major), brakes and tires, diagnostics, air conditioning and collection. A ready booking form, a Hello Elementor child theme with bundled fonts, one-page mode and a mobile menu.

- Booking to collection, step by step: Five steps that show customers when they get the price and what happens to their car, plus collection and delivery.
- Pages for every job: Brakes and tires, diagnostics with every warning light explained, air conditioning, the technicians and the workshop.
- Free Elementor and a ready booking form: Every page is built with free Elementor widgets on Hello Elementor, with a booking form made with the free WPForms Lite plugin. Fonts are bundled: no Google Fonts requests.

Header button: Book a service (link /contact/#book), changed in Appearance → Customize → LT Careser options.
One-page mode (Pro)
With Pro Standard or Pro Unlimited, tick One-page mode on the home page in Appearance → Customize → LT Careser options and the menu scrolls to these sections: Lights, Prices, Booking, Repairs, We call before we fix, Workshop, Questions, Tips, Find us. To change the labels or leave sections out, see One-page mode.
Used the old LT Careser onepage WordPress theme? It is not sold any more: version 2.0 is one theme for both. Install its Pro edition and turn on one-page mode.

With WPForms Lite active, the demo import creates the form Book a service or repair on the Book and contact page. Fields: Your name (required), Email (required), Phone, Car: make, model and year (required), Mileage, What do you need? (required), Preferred drop-off day, What have you noticed?. Email subject: “Booking request from the website”. After sending, visitors see: “Thank you. We will call or email to confirm the day and the price, usually within one working day.”
See Contact form for where messages go and how to change the fields.
Demo content to replace
Everything marked with one of these in the demo is sample content: names, numbers, prices and addresses that you replace with your own (or delete):
(sample)Example pricesexample.com(555)Alder Road Service CentreAlder RoadSpringfield
- Do not add lamps to the cluster that are not real dashboard warning lights, and keep each lamp in its standard colour (red = stop, amber = check soon).
- Keep stop red and caution amber on the dark cluster only; never use them for text or decoration on light backgrounds.
- Do not promise outcomes or warranty rulings; prices stay marked as examples until they are real.
Only publish facts that are true for your business: real prices, opening hours, reviews and qualifications. Pro Unlimited’s launch checker lists every sample marker left on the site.

AI kit (Pro Unlimited)
The AI kit’s AGENTS.md tells an assistant how LT Careser is built. The CSS classes it relies on (keep them when you edit):
| CSS class | What it is |
|---|---|
lt-hero | home hero band (title, intro and the warning-light cluster) |
lt-cluster | the instrument-cluster panel; holds lt-cluster__lamps and the colour legend lt-cluster__legend |
lt-lamp | one lit telltale in the cluster: icon (lt-lamp__icon), name, what it means and the check; add lt-lamp–red or lt-lamp–amber |
lt-key | colour key dot in the legend (lt-key–red, lt-key–amber) |
lt-lamprow | one warning light explained on the Diagnostics page (icon, meaning, what to do, the check) |
lt-service | one fixed-price service row (name, what is included, time, price) |
lt-steps | booking-to-collection steps (a real sequence); each lt-step with its number lt-step__n |
lt-includes | what a service includes, side by side (interim, full, major) |
lt-price | label and value row (prices, hours, facts) inside lt-rows |
lt-approval | the dark 'we call before we fix' band |
lt-person | a technician (name and role) |
lt-desk | contact desk block |
lt-pagehead | inner page heading band |
lt-map | the street drawing |
See AI kit for the prompts, the safe edit tool and the launch checker.
Questions about LT Careser
Do I need Elementor Pro?
No. LT Careser uses only the free Elementor plugin and the free Hello Elementor theme. The header and footer are part of the theme, so you do not need Theme Builder.
Can I change the services and prices?
Yes. Services, prices and hours are normal Elementor rows: edit the text in Elementor, or ask an AI assistant to do it with the AI kit's safe edit tool.
Can I change the warning lights?
Yes. Each lamp is an image, a heading and a line of text in the cluster. Keep each light in its standard colour: red for stop, amber for check soon.
Will my site look like the demo?
Yes, with Pro: Appearance > Demo import creates every page, the colours, fonts, menu, header and footer. The demo photos are replaced by placeholders you swap for your own.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free has the design, header and footer, the About and Book and contact pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, the services pages, sample posts, one-click demo import, credit removal, updates and support. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit.
I have the old LT Careser. Is this an update?
It is a new version 2.0 with a new design, built for free Elementor. Your current site keeps working; install 2.0 on a new site or a staging copy and import the demo there.
Also for Joomla
LT Careser also exists as a Joomla template: see the LT Careser Joomla docs.
