The car dealership industry is a complex minefield of sales pressure, strict compliance regulations, and the ongoing challenge of building and maintaining customer trust. In such an environment, reputation management isn't just important, it’s essential. This is where our expertise becomes invaluable.

We offer services that help them collect feedback from their customers, ensure positive feedback is posted on platforms such as Google reviews and if the reviews are negative, we route them to our internal resolution system to get the problems resolved and turn it into a positive experience for them. We also repurpose the reviews by showcasing them on your website and posting them in branded posts on various social media platforms, increasing your reputation and trustworthiness.

Why Do Car Dealers Require Reputation Management Services?

According to a recent study, 84% of car buyers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. This shows that in the world of automotive sales, a dealership's online reputation directly influences the key metrics such as customer trust, walk in traffic and ultimately sales. This indicates that your dealership’s Google and Trustpilot ratings are often the first impressions that a potential buyer gets.

Even a single negative review can cost you dozens of leads in local search, and car dealerships with higher review scores report up to 20% more customer inquiries. Prospective buyers are digital-first and emotionally invested. If your ratings don’t reflect quality and credibility, they’ll visit the next lot that does.

This is where car dealerships usually lack in reputation management. Delays in post sale follow-up turn into missed opportunities for collecting positive feedback. Unresolved negative feedback from clients becomes too damaging for public perception, and a lack of internal systems for routing complaints to the right department results in mismanagement. Such issues compound over time and make well-run dealerships look unreliable online. Our Car Dealer reputation management system is designed to solve these problems with precision, helping you build trust, protect your brand, and convert more leads into loyal customers.

Our Process That Helps Gather 5 Star Reviews for Your Dealership

We have devised a proven system that is built to consistently turn satisfied customers into 5 star reviewers. Several steps help us gather positive reviews and guide the customers to post them on review websites and navigate the negative reviews to stop them from being posted. Here is the detailed lowdown of how we get this done.

Client Feedback System Setup

Our technical team integrate your dealership database to send automated review requests via SMS or email to every client, right after their purchase of a vehicle or a service. They are asked about their recent experience in a casual yet persuasive way and are given choices to react accordingly.

Smart Review Routing

If the customers are happy about the services they received, they are encouraged to post their reviews on public platforms like Google or Trustpilot. However, you always get unhappy clients as well who have some sort of issues with your services. Instead of asking them to do the same as above, we route them to our internal resolution team that discusses the matter and gets it resolved. Turning a possibly negative feedback into a positive one.

Repurposing the Reviews

Positive 5 star reviews on public review sites are a valuable asset, and we do not just leave them there. Our team incorporate those reviews into your website in the testimonial section, and we create branded posts to be posted on social media handles to expand the reach.

Real Time Monitoring and Analytics

We provide you a dashboard where you get alerts when new reviews are posted, receive reports on resolved issues, get to know trending sentiments, number of emails sent and number of emails opened and responded. This way, not only are you involved in the whole process, but you can add your valuable input as well.
