Sound Familiar? These Are Costing Your Shop Real Customers.
If any of these apply to your shop, your online reputation is working against you.
A customer leaves a 1-star review saying you 'ripped them off' after declining an unnecessary repair they requested.
Every car owner searching for a mechanic sees that review and assumes you overcharge before they ever call.
You fixed the problem correctly, but the customer blames you when a different issue shows up two weeks later.
They leave a review implying your work caused the new problem, and Google has no way to know the truth.
Your shop has been open for 15 years but only has 40 Google reviews, most from 3 or 4 years ago.
The new quick lube down the street has 300 reviews and gets the calls from people searching 'auto repair near me.'
A former employee or competitor posts fake reviews accusing your shop of fraud or incompetence.
Those fake reviews sit on your profile for months, scaring off customers who would have been a perfect fit.
Your Google Business Profile is missing services, hours, and photos of your shop and team.
Google ranks complete profiles higher. Customers skip listings that look abandoned or unprofessional.
You are great at fixing cars but have no system in place to ask happy customers for reviews.
Your best customers drive away satisfied and never think to leave a review. Only the unhappy ones do.
What We Do for Auto Repair Shops
Most marketing agencies don't understand auto repair reputation. They don't know why a customer blames you for an unrelated problem, or why pricing transparency matters in every response. We do.
Review Monitoring Across Every Platform
We track your reviews on Google, Yelp, Facebook, the BBB, and auto-specific sites like CarFax and RepairPal. You get real-time alerts for every new review so nothing catches you off guard.
Automated Review Requests After Every Visit
When a customer picks up their vehicle, our system sends a personalized review request via text and email. It takes them 30 seconds and builds the kind of review profile that fills your bays.
Negative Review Response and Removal
We respond to every negative review with professional, brand-safe language within 24 hours. We flag fake or policy-violating reviews for removal and help you address legitimate complaints publicly.
Google Business Profile Optimization
We optimize your GBP with accurate services, shop photos, hours, ASE certifications, and the right categories so you rank when someone searches for an auto repair shop in your area.
Local SEO for Auto Repair Shops
We create content and optimize your web presence so you rank for searches like 'auto repair near me,' 'brake shop [your city],' 'oil change near me,' and 'best mechanic in [your area].'
Reputation Marketing
We help you showcase your best customer stories, ASE certifications, and shop history across your website, social media, and advertising so your reputation becomes your strongest marketing tool.
We Work With Every Type of Auto Repair Service
How It Works, Step by Step
A simple process that runs in the background while you focus on fixing cars.
Our Process
Step 1: Shop Reputation Audit
