Google review software for auto detailing businesses
Let your reputation shine as much as the finished detail.
You handle the polish. ReviewNudger sends the review request after a qualifying payment and follows up automatically, so pickup stays focused on the car and the customer.
They explained the package clearly, kept me updated, and took time to walk me around the finished car.
Invoice paid. Review request triggered automatically. Alex gets a text: “Hi Alex! Thanks for choosing Showroom Auto Detailing. We're a small business, and a quick Google review would mean a lot. Leave one here: reviewnudger.com/r/9ktm” Then a new Google review from Alex, 5 out of 5 stars: “They explained the package clearly, kept me updated, and took time to walk me around the finished car.”
Connect the software you already run the business on.
Every paid job or finished appointment sends the review request for you.

01
Photos show shine; reviews show trust
Before-and-after photos prove the finish. Reviews explain whether you communicated well, treated the vehicle carefully, arrived on time, and delivered the package the customer expected.
02
Pickup moves too quickly
Customers want to inspect the car and get on with their day. A text after payment lets the reveal stay positive without turning pickup into a request for a favor.
03
Maintenance clients need breathing room
Ceramic-coating clients and regular details can return several times. A customer cooldown lets you ask once, then protects the relationship from a review text after every service.

Connect your detailing bookings and payments.
Connect your Google Business Profile and Square. The starting point is when a payment is completed in Square. Confirm that this event matches finished work in your business, then choose a delay. Staff can also start requests manually for work outside your connected app.
Start after a qualifying completed payment or handover, with a delay that lets the customer see the result. Use a cooldown for maintenance packages so recurring customers are not asked every visit.
No payment app? You can still ask today.
Connecting a payment app makes requests fully automatic, but nothing about ReviewNudger requires it — every account gets both of these from day one.

Type a name, hit send
Type a customer’s name and number and the request goes out right away, or at a time you pick. Your crew gets a private link and QR code so they can ask on the spot from their phones.
Upload a spreadsheet (CSV file) of past customers and send requests to all of them at once — the fastest first win, from people who already love your work.
Your own number sends after carrier approval. While verification is pending or recently rejected, accounts that meet the sending conditions may use a ReviewNudger number, subject to limits and availability. See pricing for full terms.
A toll-free texting number and carrier verification are included. A local number is an optional $100/year add-on, billed separately; it requires a paid plan and its own approval.
More than one location? Each location gets its own $29-a-month plan. Get in touch →
After pickup and completed payment, usually with a short delay. The customer has seen the result, the handoff is over, and the message can wait until they are parked rather than asking them to act at the counter.
Does this work for mobile detailers?
Yes. A completed Square or Stripe payment can start the request wherever the service happened. The workflow depends on the payment record, not a fixed shop location.
Will reminders stop after someone responds?
Yes. Follow-ups stop when the customer clicks the Google review button, sends private feedback, or opts out. Clicking through is enough; we do not wait for proof that a review was posted. You can also stop follow-ups yourself. A separate repeat-customer cooldown controls when a later visit can start a new request.
What can I do during the 14-day free trial?
Connect Google, bring your reviews into one inbox, connect your job or invoicing app, and prepare your requests and follow-ups. Submit your business details for texting approval during the trial. Trial: up to 50 SMS attempts from your approved toll-free number or, when the sending conditions are met and one is available, a ReviewNudger number during carrier review. See pricing for sending limits. A card is required, but you pay $0 today. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid a charge.
How much does it cost? Are texts extra?
$29 per month per location includes text and email review requests, follow-ups, the Google review inbox, AI reply tools, and unlimited team members. There are no per-message fees or annual contract. Your toll-free texting number and its approval are included. A local area-code number is an optional $100/year add-on.
Can you guarantee reviews or a higher Google ranking?
No. Your customers decide whether to review you and what to write, and Google controls its search results. ReviewNudger makes asking and following up consistent. It does not buy reviews, promise a review count, or filter unhappy customers out of the default request.
