Also, you may want to add some decent before and after pics of the cars, maybe your next customer you could get some of those. Take lots of them, because the right picture is hard to get, and you can just throw out the ones you don't like. I'm still learning to take good before and afters.
Your design at the top of the page is not readable, can you get a better one?
Overall it is a good start and a way to advertise your work, just keep working on it and it will start looking good as you get the hang of it. I would like to see your services more clearly stated, and that would be my first change. Down the road you may want to get your own domain name and make a site with weebly.com or another free site maker, they have great templates that make life easier.
Keep up the good work, you made a step in the right direction.

Your logo at the top was stretched to fit whatever dimensions the site wanted you to use. The original logo is 199px × 143px but the site scaled it to 608px × 200px. That is why you can't read it. You will want to redesign something that will fit in that box.
The site needs to be spell checked. There are some spelling errors here and there. For example, on your tail light painting you have Finish misspelled. You have 'Freshen' misspelled on your What We Do page. The word A doesn't need to be capitalized either. I would recommend writing all of your copy in a word processor that automatically spell checks and notifies you of grammar mistakes. Or enable the spell check function in your browser if you have that. I know Firefox does it. Having poorly written copy will cause people to think that it is someone very young and uneducated running the business. It isn't always an accurate assumption, but people will make it anyway.
I know it is still under construction, so hopefully some of the suggestions you are getting here will help. I would strongly recommend that you not use the site for advertising until it is completed and all of the template fields are completed. Regardless of where it is hosted, a completed website with pictures of your work and a price sheet is a valuable marketing tool. You are off to a good start, but you need more examples for sure.
