For mechanics and auto repair shops
They're not reviewing the repair. They're reviewing the price.
The work was clean, on time and correct. The review is about the invoice.
“He says he was happy with the repair but I charged about $1500 too much.”
How owners in this trade describe it, in their own words
The problem
The work was clean, on time and correct. The review is about the invoice.
What it costs
That's the pattern across the whole trade — most complaints mention price, and usually concede the workmanship was fine. It cuts, because you take pride in the work. And you're competing against dealerships and chains with marketing budgets you can't match, on a platform where the only differentiator is a number.
What we do
The customers who understood the value are your majority and they say nothing. Review King asks all of them, so the price complaints sit in proportion.
