Customer satisfaction rate
Sound familiar? These are the reputation problems we solve every day.
Customers only review when they're angry
Happy customers leave the shop and forget to review. Unhappy ones go straight to Google. That imbalance quietly destroys your rating over time.
No time between jobs to respond to reviews
Technicians are under cars. Service advisors are on calls. Nobody has 20 minutes to craft a thoughtful response to a 1-star review.
One bad review wipes out 10 good jobs
It takes roughly 10 positive reviews to offset one negative. Without a steady inflow of fresh reviews, a bad week is visible for months.
You can't see what competitors are doing
Nearby shops might be beating you on rating and review volume without you knowing — until you lose a customer to them.
Built for the way auto repair businesses operate.
