Auto Repair & Dealership Service Trust Survey
Measures how customers experience estimate transparency, timeliness, and work quality at your service department or repair shop, and how those add up to trust. An AI follow-up digs into the specific moment — often around cost or communication — where trust was won or lost.

Q10
AI Interview
Reconstruct the specific moment in this visit that most shaped the respondent's trust in the shop — anchor on whether it involved the estimate, an unexpected charge, communication, or the quality of the repair itself. If they reported an estimate mismatch or unexpected charges, probe exactly what was added, whether it was explained before or after the fact, and how the shop handled their reaction. If everything went smoothly, ask what specifically made them feel confident rather than just satisfied.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes explicit estimate-transparency questions (written estimate given, final bill match, surprise charges) rather than a single generic satisfaction item
- Pairs quantitative timeliness and quality-of-repair ratings with a matrix agreement block, then an AI follow-up that reconstructs the specific moment where trust was won or lost
- Segments responses by visit type, service frequency, and vehicle age so a shop can see which customer segments are most at risk
- Ends in an auto-generated report, unlike static question banks that require manual analysis
QuestionPro
Automobile Service Evaluation Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateThis page reads as a sample questionnaire and question-bank guide for automobile service evaluation, with an associated template usable inside QuestionPro's builder. It covers general service satisfaction themes but the public page itself is closer to a curated question list than a polished, ready-to-field customer trust survey. Useful as a question-idea reference rather than a deep diagnostic instrument.
What it does well
- Backed by an established survey platform with logic, distribution, and reporting tools
- Covers broad automobile service satisfaction themes that can be customized
- Question bank format makes it easy to cherry-pick items for a quick internal survey
Where it falls short
- Static multiple-choice/rating questions only — no adaptive AI follow-up that probes the specific moment behind a low or high score
- No voice AI interview option for capturing verbal detail on cost or communication issues
- No visible automated per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt methodology
