Advertising a new business

Okay, so my dad just opened his new business and I am his office manager. Well there are sooo many people in town who know my dad from his past experience but we are having a really hard time getting the business going! We printed up fliers, we paid the radio staion $550 bucks to advertise a commercial on there for 6 weeks, and we have auotmotive stores spreading the word. We’ve had 1 customer this week! Any brighter ideas on how to advertise? He’s an auto mechanic BTW.
