Brian's Automotive & Performance

We had to earn every review. So we built Brian's Reviews Go-Getter.

Send a review request in a tap, and a reminder if they forget. It got us over 100 new 5-star reviews in six months, and the top spot on Google. Built for our own shop in Puyallup. Now we're sharing it.

How this started

We're good at fixing cars. Asking for reviews kept slipping.

When we started, we had to build our reputation from scratch — one customer at a time. We knew the work was good. We just needed people to hear about it.

But there's always something going on in a shop. Asking for reviews took a backseat, and they trickled in slowly. When we did make a point of it, it came down to whether someone remembered to reach out — so it was hit or miss.

So we decided to solve it for good.

So we built a tool that makes it easy: ask for a review in one tap, and remind the ones who forget. Leaving a review takes the customer one tap. And if something wasn't right, it gives them an easy way to tell us first — before it ever turns into a public review — so we get the chance to make it right.

In six months we picked up more than 100 new 5-star reviews. It put us at the top of Google in our area — and these days even ChatGPT points people to us. The best part: most of those customers were already happy. They just needed an easy nudge.

What Brian's Reviews Go-Getter actually does

Easy to send, easy to track.

Ask in one tap - Send a review request when the job's done — one customer, or the whole day at once.
Makes leaving a review one tap - Customers go straight to your Google or Yelp page. No hunting, no account hoops.
Gives an easy private path first - A "Something wasn't right?" option lets a customer tell you directly, so you can make it right before it's public.
Sends one gentle reminder - For the folks who meant to and forgot. One nudge a few days later — not a pile of texts.
Shows you what's working - See who got the text, who tapped through, and who left a review, all in one place.

How it fits into your day

Finish the job. Send the text. Watch the reviews come in.

Send the text

One tap, or send the whole day's customers at once. They get a friendly message — not a robocall.

Happy customers post in a tap. If someone wasn't happy, they reach you first.

More reviews, less chasing — and a heads-up when something needs making right.

Straight answers

What shop owners ask us about it.

Shopmonkey can send review requests too — why this?

It can. Ours is built around the harder half: when something wasn't right, the customer gets an easy private way to tell you first — so you fix the problem instead of reading about it on Google. $100 flat, 14 days free. Run them side by side and keep what works.

Will my customers get spammed?

No. One ask, and one gentle reminder for the folks who meant to and forgot. That's it.

How fast does it work?

At our shop it earned 100+ five-star reviews in six months. Your pace depends on your car count — but every request actually goes out, which is the part that kept slipping when we did it by hand.

Why an auto shop is selling software

Brian's Automotive & Performance is a real independent shop in Puyallup, Washington — 20+ years of brakes, diagnostics, transmissions and engine swaps at honest prices. We're mechanics, not a software company.

We build tools to make our own shop run better. When one brings in real business, like Reviews Go-Getter has, we offer it to other shops fighting the same uphill climb. It was tested the only way we trust: on our own customers, against our own reputation.

More tools, as we need them

Each one starts as a problem on our own shop floor. When it earns its keep, we share it.

Whatever's next: if it saves us time in the shop and it'd help you too, we'll build it and share it.
