My business has used SureCritic for years with amazing results. I do virtually no advertising as our web presence is huge thanks in part to our SureCritic reviews. Minimal time needed to respond to customer reviews as their dashboard is well designed. You will not be disappointed.
I have been in automotive repair industry for the past 17 years. I have used other software programs for labor times, parts, and invoicing. I'm very impressed with sure critic ability to contact my customer requesting a review for services rendered. The schematic's available for most automobiles is also very helpful. The only downside is cost, is it worth it? So far I say yes. Coming form their competitor, no names, the pros outweigh the cons. We will continue with sure critic and Mitchell 1.
These guys go out of their way to help us with our business. It isn't just the positive reviews, but they help us create a positive outcome with the negative reviews as well. I would absolutely love nothing but 5 star reviews from our customers, but the reality is, as much as we strive to provide that level of service, sometimes we fall short. Having SureCritic help us identify an area/s we may have fallen short in, give us the ability to correct the issue we may have and hopefully before loosing a customer entirely!
Thanks SureCritic!
I was so pleased with my auto buying experience at Absolute Auto on 03/05/2023.The experience was streamlined and stress free.The company has a varied assortment of Hondas and Acuras.All excellent quality.3 years of oil changes is a nice perk coming with the purchase of the car.The owner Carl took the time to go over everything in the car before I drove it away.I would recommend this business to anyone who would like a great experience while purchasing a car.

We've had our business Surecrit for quite some time now. We get so much good feed back from our customers, there is also the ones who had a bad experienced, we love the idea about reaching out to customers and see what we can do to help them change their perspective about our business.
Great platform to let our customers leave honest and verifiable reviews. Allows us to review a positive or negative review. We respond to all reviews and can more often than not turn a negative review positive by engaging the customer's concerns. I would say that most of the time it's only a communication breakdown. My customer's don't feel "botherd" by this service.
SureCritic has been extremely helpful and informative with our automotive repair shop. The ease that our customers have when it comes to leaving reviews is impeccable. Whenever there is a problem either on their end or with us, or with our customers then they contact us immediately and do their best to resolve the issue. Our customers have the ease to leave us a review and even email us for an appointment.
Since we have had sure critic it has helped Carlord to understand and address our customer needs. Our customers love my response to their reviews and they like the ability to be able to provide feedback on their service. The abilty to text to our customers has made communicating much better. Our customers are just being able to request an appointment online and it is so helpful for everyone. Thank you again for all of the services from Mitchell.

Very easy and useful tool to interact with all and individual customers. I only wish we could have our reviews shared on different platforms; ie. Yelp! Or Google, etc.
SureCritic is a Davy software. Being in the automotive industry it's extremely resourceful. From being able to send customer's estimate, inspection sheet and keeping in touch through text message. It has made my work efficiently.
We have used surecritic as our review source for many years now. Our customer response has been fantastic. It gives us a great seo traffic lane and we also post the reviews on several sites. Every customer is sent a request immediately after their visit.
After getting ripped off by a car repair shop, I posted a negative review. Several positive reviews dated after my review appear, mine is hidden. All positive reviews were noted as phone calls... so I think they have a telemarketing company that bumps up results (but I cannot prove it).
Useless site paid for by auto-repair companies to show good reviews. Stick to Google or Yelp to get real information and not biased results.
Complete Car Care Center has been using the review service for a couple of years now and have had no issues. Our customer response has been fantastic. The website is easy to use and provides great reporting.
We have used SureCritic for several years now. We receive great customer service and it's such an easy system for our customers to use and provide feedback. No complaints from anything!
Unlike other sites, SureCritic has the ability to make sure all of the reviews for my business are for my actual customers. It is soo much better than having to fight with each fake review that comes my way! I recommend SureCritic 100%!
This is a great marketing tool for our business. After having a negative experience with a product through a different company, we were happy that we were able to keep the SureCritic feature. This makes it easier for us to learn how our customers honestly feel and fives us an opportunity to follow up after their visit. They are easy to work with and very friendly.
Having worked with this company for many years I honestly feel they deliver the most accurate real time feedback of all follow-up agencies. The follow-up questions are short yet precise allowing very useful feedback from our customers. I would recommend SureCritic to any business that wants real time feedback from their customers in regards to their service experience. Excellent Company with excellent employees!
They don't put the reviews up, unless they are positive. They say it will take fourteen days, but that was over last week, and it's still not showing up. Their voicemail has a generic recording message, and their registered agent has companies in 3 countries to his name. Feels pretty shady.
We had this service at our shop and hated it. The company makes it so easy to write a review and then steers all your customers away from the reputable review sites like Yelp and Google and over to their SureCritic review site. The net effect is that all your 5-star reviews end up on this obscure review site and all your marginal reviews end up on Yelp or Google (or both!) Overtime this took our shop's Yelp rating from 5-stars to 4.5 stars. Consumers are smart enough to know a 1-star review on SureCritic is unlikely to be seen by anyone, but the employees at SureCritic appear totally unaware of this unsustainable issue.
Sure Critic has provided our business with a verified review system that has allowed us to share true customer feedback with others, as well as monitor the satisfaction of our customers. In turn, this feedback has grown our business through testimonials. Other online review systems can be used in a malicious manner- as the customer doesn't have to be "invoiced" to utilize the online product - they can just post freely. We love Sure Critic!
Answer: Charley, Thanks for the question. Lack of verification alone will not result in a review being removed. Under the Consumer Reviews Fairness Act, the guidelines for taking down a consumer's review are pretty clear and we abide by those rules. SureCritic, like several other popular reviews sites does use an algorithm to determine which reviews are recommended and which are not recommended. Without giving all the details on our particular algorithm, I can say that it does prioritize verified reviews over non verified reviews. For a review to be a candidate for removal, it must meet at least one of the follow criteria: 1. Contains confidential or private information for example, a persons financial, medical, or personnel file information or a companys trade secrets; 2. Is libelous, harassing, abusive, obscene, vulgar, sexually explicit, or is inappropriate with respect to race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or other intrinsic characteristic; 3. Is unrelated to the companys products or services; or 4. Is clearly false or misleading. Thank you.
SureCritic has a rating of 3.6 stars from 63 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. SureCritic ranks 3rd among Local Advertising sites.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we do make it easy for verified customers to provide feedback for your business and others. The difference is that our reviews are verified as actual customers and never prequalified like reviews on Yelp, Google, Facebook and others. And, since we verify customer status and get a large volume of reviews from actual customers, it's a net positive for SEO. According to studies, 10% of your of Google's local search algorithm (what determines who comes up in search) is based on the volume, velocity and freshness of user generated content (UGC) of which the most important is customer reviews.
As many know, the reviews you collect on Yelp and Google are subject to filtering and removal at their discretion. Over the past years, Yelp has removed reviews en mass three times and Google at least once leaving many businesses who had dozens to hundreds of reviews with almost nothing overnight. SureCritic allows you to generate reviews that you can be sure will not be deleted based on an algorithm or policy change ensuring that you'll always have valuable content in the public domain from actual customers.
All of that said, we hear ya and we know you need help generating reviews on other sites. So, to help, we've recently launched a product called ReviewReach. You can check it out on our website. It's an app based product that you can download from the app store to help you start generating reviews on Google, Yelp and Facebook too! We'd be happy to give you a demo.
Thanks again.
