45-year-old auto shop answers its Google reviews with AI help
Brown's Automotive · Chapel Hill, NC, US ·
What they did
The owner's team uses AI behind the scenes to reply to Google reviews with keyword-rich language, draft SOPs and prep meeting notes. An AI intake tool prompts receptionists to ask the right questions when booking, so repair orders are complete before the car reaches the bay. Her advice for hesitant owners: start with reviews.
Reported results
- No measured results reported. The owner's tip: "If you have 50 Google reviews you haven't responded to, that feels overwhelming. You can copy and paste them into AI and say, 'Respond with empathy,' or 'Respond professionally.' Boom, you're done in minutes."

Here are 10 Google reviews for my auto repair shop. Draft a short reply to each one. Respond with empathy, thank the customer by first name if given, mention the specific service they wrote about, and for any negative review invite them to call me directly. Keep each reply under 60 words.
