Trust is everything in auto repair. Your existing customers know you're honest — but they don't tell anyone. Social Perks gives them an easy way to.
The auto shop marketing platform that turns every satisfied customer into a Google review, a referral, and a returning patron.
Free for 14 days. No credit card. Cancel anytime.
Built for independent auto repair shops, tire centers, lube shops, and body shops. We know your competition is the dealership — and we know how to beat them.
Polite SMS goes out 24 hours after pickup. Honest review of the experience earns a free oil change next time. Google review counts skyrocket — and so do new-customer calls.
Customers who refer a friend get $25 off their next visit. The friend gets a discount on their first service. The trust loop builds the business that ad budgets can't.
Combine service reminders with social-share perks. Customers post 'just got my brakes done — thanks Mike's Auto' and earn their next oil change free.
Body shop work, detail jobs, restorations — customers post the reveal, tag the shop, build the shop's reputation organically.
Launch any of these in under 5 minutes. Perks and copy pre-written. You just pick one and go live.

Auto shop marketing usually means SEO and Google Ads — both expensive, both temporary. Social Perks builds an asset that compounds: a trusted reputation.
Auto repair is a trust business. Our campaigns build trust by giving real customers a reason to vouch for you — instead of training new customers to chase discounts.
Your techs are the heart of the shop. We let them get credit for the work that earns referrals — building loyalty on both sides of the counter.
Oil changes every 5,000 miles. Brakes every 3 years. Our system keeps you in front of customers across long gaps without spamming them.
“Our Google reviews went from 47 to 290 in six months. Calls from new customers tripled. I've been in business 22 years and never had a marketing channel work this well.”
“We compete with the dealership next door. They have a $40k/mo ad budget. We spend $49/mo on Social Perks and our bays are full first.”
“The refer-a-driver program brought in 86 new customers in a year. Most of them are now regulars. Lifetime value of $2,400+ each.”
One plan. Everything included. No per-customer fees, no setup charges, no hidden surcharges.
Free for your first 14 days. No credit card required.

Most marketing tools are built for ecommerce or SaaS. Social Perks is built for local auto shop businesses. Every template, perk, and AI suggestion is tuned for auto shop customers — the people, behaviors, and platforms that actually drive walk-ins, bookings, and reorders.
No. If you can send a text message, you can launch a Social Perks campaign. Pick a template, choose a perk (free coffee, $10 off, a free upgrade), and we generate the QR code, signage, and customer flow. Most auto shop owners are live in under 15 minutes.
They scan a QR code at your counter or follow a link from a receipt. They pick an action (post a photo, leave a Google review, tag a friend, share a story), complete it, and our system verifies it through platform APIs. Then they get their perk instantly — no manual checking.
Small, instantly-redeemable perks beat large ones every time. A free drink, a $5 discount, an upgrade, or a free add-on converts at 3-5x the rate of a "10% off your next visit" offer. Our AI suggests perk values based on your industry, location, and average ticket size.
Both — and the math works either way. A new customer acquired through a friend's Instagram post costs you ~$3 in perk value vs. $20-40 through paid ads. An existing customer who posts brings in 2.4 new visitors on average. Your existing fans are your cheapest acquisition channel.
Yes. Every post generated through Social Perks is auto-tagged with the required FTC #ad or #partner disclosure for the platform. We handle compliance so you don't have to think about it. This is built in and cannot be disabled.
Our AI review pipeline flags off-brand, inappropriate, or low-quality content before it counts toward a perk. You set your brand standards once (family-friendly, no competitor mentions, on-message), and the system enforces them automatically.
Most auto shops see their first customer post within 48 hours of launching. Measurable lifts in review count, Instagram mentions, and foot traffic typically show up within the first 14 days — which is why we let you try the entire platform free for two weeks.
See your auto shop grow through real customer posts. No credit card. No risk. Just results.
