We all know there is no 100% touchless wash consistency. That being said as long as your wash is working consistency and correctly and someone gives you a poor review how would you respond? We all know that MAY be the car from hell that hasn't been washed in 6 months but how do you respond not knowing all the details? You can't get into long drawn out discussions responding to reviews.

You could offer for them to come back so you can make it right. The only issue is that if you give a rewash and it still does not clean you have not gained anything. If you have self serves, you could offer a brush wash. I wouldn’t offer much online other than to come back and make it right. If they take you up on the offer, have a plan that can resolve the problem.

It gets challenging on a very busy day the customer has already left and you're not there. Also replying publicly versus privately. Replying publicly depending on what you're doing to satisfy the customer you leave the door open for all the people looking for a freebie for nothing.

I try to respond to all my Google reviews. If they're negative I say I'm sorry you had a poor experience. Please come by so we can take a look at your car and offer some suggestions on how you might get it cleaner at our car wash.

After a poor review on Google I always respond positively...come back, refund. rewash..I would say only 5% respond, makes me curious if it just bot slamming by others
