Auto-send review requests when Elead closes repair orders
Reviewflowz monitors your Elead system and automatically sends review requests when repair orders close, vehicles deliver, or sales complete. No manual work required after the initial 15-minute setup. Your service advisors focus on customers while every satisfied customer gets asked for a review via email ($5 per 1000), SMS ($5 per 100), or WhatsApp. The system never misses a customer because it's triggered directly by your DMS data, not manual processes that break down during busy periods.
Flag your 5-star customers in Elead customer records
When customers leave 5-star Google or DealerRater reviews after service, that positive feedback automatically appears in their Elead customer record for future visits. Your service team instantly sees who your biggest advocates are without checking review sites manually. Use this data to ask happy customers for referrals, video testimonials, or social media shares during their next appointment. Turn one-time reviewers into ongoing marketing assets by leveraging the relationship data already in your DMS.
Track reviews by service advisor without customer name-drops
Most dealerships ask customers to mention their service advisor by name in reviews, but Google often flags these as potentially fake. Reviewflowz eliminates this risk entirely by automatically attributing reviews to the correct advisor using your Elead repair order data. When reviews come in, the system knows exactly which advisor handled that RO without customers needing to remember or spell names correctly. Your reviews read more naturally, avoid Google's spam filters, and you still get complete staff performance breakdowns.

Calculate review conversion rate per repair order in Elead
Your actual review performance isn't total review count but conversion rate: reviews divided by customer interactions. A shop with 300 reviews from 5000 ROs (6% rate) is losing to competitors with 150 reviews from 1000 ROs (15% rate). Reviewflowz connects directly to Elead to count your actual repair orders and vehicle sales, then calculates your true conversion rate automatically. See exactly how you compare to the 7.5% average across our automotive customers and identify which advisors or service types generate the most reviews per transaction.
AI auto-replies to dealership reviews on all platforms
Responding to every Google, DealerRater, and CarGurus review improves local search rankings and shows future customers you care about service quality. But service advisors don't have time to craft responses across 200+ review platforms daily. Reviewflowz generates professional replies using AI trained on automotive language patterns, mentioning your dealership name and relevant service details. Approve replies manually or let them publish automatically. Either way, every review gets a response that builds trust with potential customers browsing your reputation online.
