Connect Tire Guru to automatically request reviews when repair orders close, track which technicians earn the most 5-star feedback, and reply to every review with AI.
Automated review requests from Tire Guru repair orders
Every time you mark a repair order complete in Tire Guru, Reviewflowz automatically sends a review request to that customer via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. No manual work required after the initial 15-minute setup. Whether it's an oil change, tire installation, or major engine repair, every completed job triggers a request across Google, Yelp, and automotive-specific platforms like DealerRater and CarGurus. Your service advisors focus on the next customer while the system handles reputation building in the background. With our average 7.5% conversion rate, a busy shop completing 100 repair orders weekly can expect 7-8 new reviews automatically.
Identify your best customers for referrals and testimonials
When customers leave 5-star reviews, that data flows back into Tire Guru and appears on their customer record and repair order history. Your service team instantly knows who your biggest advocates are without checking multiple review sites. Use this intelligence strategically: ask 5-star reviewers to refer friends, request video testimonials for your website, or invite them to review your other locations. Many shops miss these opportunities because they don't connect review feedback to their customer database. Since Reviewflowz monitors 200+ platforms, you'll capture positive sentiment from Google, Facebook, DealerRater, and niche automotive sites all in one place.
Track reviews by technician without mentioning names
Most automotive businesses ask customers to mention their technician by name in reviews, but this approach backfires when Google flags those reviews as potentially fake. Reviewflowz solves this by automatically attributing reviews to the correct technician using your Tire Guru data without requiring name mentions. When a repair order closes, the system knows which technician performed the work. When the review arrives, it's instantly credited to that person for performance tracking and bonus calculations. Your reviews read naturally, avoid Google's spam filters, and you still get detailed per-technician analytics. Track who consistently earns 5-star feedback and coach those who need improvement.
How serious are you about your reviews?
Get up and running in minutes • Upgrade when you're ready
Raw review counts mean nothing without knowing your repair order volume. A shop with 200 reviews from 2,000 completed jobs has a 10% conversion rate, while a competitor with 80 reviews from 400 jobs achieved 20% conversion and likely ranks higher locally. Reviewflowz automatically calculates your true conversion rate by pulling completed repair order data directly from Tire Guru. See exactly how many customers you served versus how many left reviews, broken down by time period, location, or individual technician. This metric tells you whether your review collection efforts actually work or if you're just celebrating vanity numbers while competitors outperform you.
AI auto-replies to automotive reviews on all platforms
Responding to every review boosts your Google ranking and shows potential customers you care about feedback, but manually replying across Google, DealerRater, CarGurus, Yelp, and Facebook consumes hours weekly. Reviewflowz uses AI to generate professional responses that match your brand voice for every review on all 200+ platforms it monitors. The AI understands automotive terminology and creates contextually appropriate replies whether someone praises your quick tire installation or complains about wait times. You can approve responses manually or set them to publish automatically. Either way, every customer gets acknowledgment without your team spending time crafting individual responses across multiple review sites.
