What the Software Does for Mechanics & Garages
Six features, all built around the same job: turn a finished repair into a posted review with the least possible work from you. Nothing fluffy. Nothing you'd never use.
SMS review requests
Sent the moment you finish a repair. SMS gets a 90%+ open rate within minutes.
Sentiment gate
Unhappy customers give private feedback. Only happy ones go to Google.
Automatic follow-up nudge
If a customer doesn't respond to the first request, one polite reminder goes out a few days later. Then it stops — no nagging.
Private feedback inbox
Every low rating that didn't go to Google lands in your dashboard with its comment, so you can call the customer back and fix the issue.
Conversion stats
See how many requests you've sent, how many customers clicked through, and how many actually posted a review.
Bulk import past customers
Upload a CSV of recent customers and send a one-off request to all of them — a fast way to bank a wave of reviews.
What Software Like This Solves for Mechanics & Garages
Generic CRMs treat a garage like a tech startup. Bespoke booking software costs hundreds a month and barely touches reviews. Below are the four specific problems this software was built to fix.
Customers are suspicious of mechanics — trust is the biggest barrier
Dealerships have brand trust — you have to earn it
Most customers only visit when something breaks
One negative review about overcharging can be devastating
Top-ranking garages typically have 50-150 Google reviews.
Why Mechanics & Garages Need Review Software in the First Place
Garages fight a constant trust battle. Customers fear being overcharged or having unnecessary work done. Reviews about honest diagnosis, fair pricing, and fixing the actual problem are the most valuable currency in your industry. Software solves the asking problem at scale — you can't do this by hand and run a business at the same time.
"mechanic near me"
Google shows the top three results for this search based heavily on review count, rating, and recency. Most clicks go to those three.
Trust signal
For a garage, reviews are the first social proof potential customers see — long before they ever talk to you.
Permanent asset
Unlike Who Can Fix My Car, Google reviews are free, owned by you, and don't disappear when you stop paying.
Designed Around the Reality of Garage Work
From the busy week of a mechanic juggling a car service and a brake replacement on the same day, to the slow weeks — the software pulls its weight in both.
car service
A customer who's just had a car service from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
brake replacement
A customer who's just had a brake replacement from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
engine repair
A customer who's just had a engine repair from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
diagnostic check
A customer who's just had a diagnostic check from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.

Questions About the Software
What features does the software include for mechanics & garages?+
SMS review requests, an automatic follow-up nudge, sentiment-gated routing (so unhappy customers go to private feedback, not Google), a private feedback inbox, a stats dashboard showing requests sent and conversions, your existing Google reviews displayed in-app, and CSV bulk import. Nothing bolted on you'd never use.
Does it work on my phone?+
Yes — that's the point. The whole interface is built to be used between repairs on a phone. Add a customer in under 15 seconds.
What's the difference between this and free Google review request links?+
A static link doesn't get sent, doesn't filter unhappy customers out, and doesn't tell you who hasn't reviewed yet. The software does all three.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Monthly rolling — cancel from the dashboard with one click. No retention calls, no contracts to wriggle out of.
Software that earns its keep — for mechanics & garages.
No setup fees, no annual contracts, no per-seat pricing. Just the features that move your review count up and your admin down.
