How much would you pay to find out about the failed experience in real time — and have a chance of winning that customer back?

Real Time Feedback provides you and your team with
The customer's info
Name, email, and cell — everything you need to reach out personally.
Specifically why
Their exact words — not a guess — so you can respond with real context.
Upset level 1–5
Know exactly how urgent the situation is before you pick up the phone.
Who they worked with
Pinpoint which technician or team member needs attention.
A crafted response
AI-assisted messaging tailored to the situation — ready to send immediately.

What if you knew
before they left?

Imagine that customer right now — pulling out of your bay frustrated, about to go to your competitor next time and leave a review warning others. Real Time Feedback captures the issue right after service, while you can still make it right.

That window — seconds to minutes — is the only moment you can change the outcome.

See how it works
1
Customer receives a short post-service text
A quick rating request sent right after their oil change. Fast and frictionless.
2
Negative ratings go directly to management
Unhappy customers share their feedback privately — not on Google. Your service manager is alerted before they've left the lot.
3
You reach out and win them back
A fast, personal response turns a detractor into a loyal customer — before word-of-mouth damage begins.
4
Happy customers leave 5-star reviews and come back
Satisfied customers are automatically directed to Google — where local drivers make their choice.
A final thought

It's called the service
recovery paradox.

The simplest explanation: a customer whose problem was handled really well ends up more loyal than a customer who never had a problem at all.

In other words, a great recovery can leave a stronger impression than a flawless experience.
