When a repair order closes, vehicle gets delivered, or service completes in Coastr, Reviewflowz automatically sends a review request to your customer via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. Set it up once and forget it. Every single customer gets asked without you lifting a finger.
Your happiest customers, flagged in Coastr
When a customer leaves a 5-star Google review about their oil change or brake repair, that signal flows right back into Coastr attached to their vehicle record. Now your service advisor knows who your biggest fans are. Ask them for a video testimonial, a referral, or to share their experience with friends who need automotive work.
Staff attribution without the name-drop
Most automotive shops ask customers to mention their service advisor or technician by name in reviews. Problem: Google flags those reviews more often, and customers forget or misspell names. Reviewflowz takes a different approach. Because it's connected to Coastr, it already knows which staff member handled each repair order or vehicle sale. When the review comes in, it's automatically attributed with no name needed. Your reviews read naturally, fewer get removed, and you still get per-advisor performance breakdowns for coaching and bonuses.

Reviews per repair order. The metric that matters.
A shop with 200 reviews sounds impressive until you realize they completed 3,000 repair orders. That's a 6.7% conversion rate. Your competitor down the street has 85 reviews from 500 ROs. That's 17% and they're crushing you. Because Reviewflowz connects to Coastr, it knows exactly how many repair orders and vehicle sales you completed. So instead of celebrating raw numbers, you see: 342 ROs this month, 47 reviews, 13.7% conversion rate.
AI replies to every review automatically
Replying to reviews boosts your Google ranking, builds trust with future customers, and gives unhappy ones a reason to return to your shop. But what service advisor has time to reply to every single review across Google, DealerRater, CarGurus, Yelp, and 200+ other platforms? Reviewflowz generates on-brand replies using AI that sound like your team wrote them. Approve them manually or let them publish automatically.

What review sites matter most for automotive businesses?
Google Reviews is always #1 for automotive businesses since it drives local search visibility, but industry-specific platforms like Cars.com, DealerRater, CarGurus, and Facebook are crucial for domain authority and capturing customers actively researching dealerships, service centers, and body shops. These automotive-focused review sites directly influence purchasing decisions when customers compare repair shops, dealerships, or service quality. Reviewflowz monitors Google plus Cars.com, DealerRater, CarGurus, Facebook, and 200+ other review platforms from one unified dashboard, so you never miss feedback from any channel that matters to your automotive business.
How do I measure my review performance?
Don't just count reviews. What matters is your review conversion rate: reviews divided by repair orders or vehicle sales. Because Reviewflowz integrates directly with Coastr, we automatically calculate this rate for you using your actual customer volume, so you can see if your 200 reviews from 15,000 customers (1.3%) is actually underperforming a competitor's 80 reviews from 2,000 customers (4%).
How does the review request actually get sent?
When you close a repair order, deliver a vehicle, complete service, or sell a car in Coastr, Reviewflowz automatically detects that trigger event and sends a review request to your customer via email, SMS, or WhatsApp (whichever channel you've selected). You configure this automation once by choosing your trigger and preferred channel, then every qualifying customer receives a review request automatically. No manual sending required – it runs completely hands-off from that point forward.
Can I send review requests via WhatsApp?
Yes, Reviewflowz fully supports WhatsApp review requests with nearly 98% open rates, significantly higher than email. WhatsApp requests are automatically triggered from Coastr when a repair order is closed, vehicle is delivered, or service is completed, just like our email and SMS options.
Can I track which service advisor, technician, or salesperson generates the most reviews?
Yes. Since Reviewflowz integrates directly with Coastr, it automatically knows which service advisor, technician, or salesperson handled each repair order or vehicle sale, so reviews are attributed to the right staff member without customers needing to mention names. This gives you staff performance leaderboards and coaching insights while also helping avoid Google review removals, since reviews mentioning specific staff names are more likely to get flagged.
How long does it take to set up Reviewflowz with Coastr?
Setup takes just minutes, not days. You simply connect Coastr to Reviewflowz, pick your trigger and channel, and you're live with no developer needed. Your first review request goes out the same day.
How much do review request emails and SMS cost?
Review request emails cost $5 per 1,000 sends and SMS cost $5 per 100 sends on a pay-as-you-go basis with no monthly minimums or contracts. WhatsApp pricing varies by country. For most automotive businesses, this works out to just pennies per review collected.
