Drivers looking for a mechanic want someone honest. Replies to reviews are your chance to show that, especially when a customer is upset about a bill or a delay.

  • Thank customers who mention honesty or fair prices, since that's what new customers are looking for.
  • For billing disputes, stay calm and move the conversation offline. Never post invoice details publicly.
  • Mention the tech by name when a customer praises them.
