Frequently asked questions
Do drivers really use AI to pick a shop?+
Yes, especially newcomers and anyone facing a big repair who wants a trustworthy second opinion. "Most honest mechanic in [city]" returns a short list of named shops that becomes the consideration set.
We have loyal customers and good reviews, why does this matter?+
Loyal customers are gold, but new ones increasingly start with AI. If it never names you, it can't point them your way. We measure that channel and show you what to work on first.
