01 · Why it matters

Stars decide who gets the call.

Drivers compare before they call

They scan the map, check the stars, read two or three reviews, and ring the shop that looks most trustworthy.

Fresh reviews lift your ranking

A steady flow of recent reviews helps you show up higher on Google Maps, where most local jobs start.

Replies build trust

A shop that answers every review, good and bad, looks like a shop that answers to its customers.

02 · How it works

Set up once. Reviews roll in on autopilot.

01

Job's done

The car is picked up and the invoice is paid. Nothing extra for your team to do.

02

A friendly text goes out

A short, personal SMS in your shop's name asks how the job went.

03

Happy? Straight to Google

One tap takes happy customers to your Google review page.

04

Not happy? Straight to you

You get an alert first, so you can sort it out before it ends up online.

Do replies really matter?

Do customers care if you reply to reviews?

Yes. Most drivers expect the owner to reply, and they notice when it's a copy-paste job. That's why every reply we write is personal to the review.

Mark T.

"Took longer than quoted to get my car back."

Owner reply: Thanks for the honest feedback, Mark, and sorry for the wait. A part arrived late and we should have called you sooner. We've fixed that process, and I'd love to make it up to you on your next service.

Reputation FAQ

Is this allowed by Google?

Yes. We only ask real customers after real jobs, and we never buy, fake or incentivise reviews.

Can you delete bad reviews?

Only Google can remove a review, and only if it breaks Google's rules. We'll flag those for you. For the rest, a great reply and a steady stream of fresh rave reviews do the job.

Does it work with my workshop software?

We work alongside your existing workshop software. If it can't connect directly, a simple daily customer list does the trick.

Do I have to do anything?

Approve your message templates once. After that, it runs itself.
