Frequently Asked Questions

When should auto repair shops send surveys?

At vehicle pickup for immediate feedback, then 2 weeks later to verify the repair held. Both are critical for building trust.

What should auto repair surveys include?

Repair quality, price transparency, communication quality, turnaround time, overall experience and NPS. For follow-up: did the fix hold?

How can surveys help auto repair shops build trust?

Consistent high ratings displayed publicly prove quality. Price transparency scores show fairness. Follow-up surveys demonstrate you care beyond the transaction.

Can surveys help catch failed repairs before bad reviews?

Yes. The 2-week follow-up catches issues early. You can proactively fix problems before the customer posts a negative review.
