The challenge

Why auto repair shops struggle with online reviews

Low Online Review Volume

Most happy customers leave without reviewing. That leaves your shop exposed to the few bad reviews that don't reflect your real work.

Time-Consuming Review Responses

Replying to reviews on multiple sites takes time away from fixing cars and running your shop.

Lost Business from Poor Reputation

When two shops have similar prices, customers pick the one with better reviews. Even if your work is better, fewer stars cost you jobs.

How it works

Everything your auto repair needs for review management

Automated Review Requests

Send review requests by text or email right after a repair. Ask when the customer is happy and the job is still fresh.

All Platforms, One Dashboard

See your Google, Yelp, Facebook, and automotive site reviews in one place. No more logging into each platform separately.

AI Review Responses

Our AI writes replies that address the specific concern and show your shop's know-how. You approve before anything goes live.

Review Analytics

See trends in what customers say. Find which services get the best reviews — and where you can do better.

Negative Review Alerts

Get alerted the moment a bad review comes in. Fast responses protect your reputation and show customers you care.

Private Feedback Routing

Send unhappy customers to a private form before they post publicly. Fix the issue on your terms.

Built for every type of auto repair

Independent Auto Shops

Compete with big dealers on trust. Good reviews show people your shop has fair prices and personal service they won't get at a chain.

Multi-Location Chains

Run reviews for all your shops from one place. Each location keeps its own voice while you see the big picture.

Specialty Service Centers

Own your niche. Whether it's transmissions, brakes, or oil changes — targeted reviews build your name as the go-to shop for that job.

We went from 3.2 to 4.8 stars in six months. Our appointment book is now consistently full, and we're getting customers from three towns over.
