- Covers wait time accuracy and price transparency alongside a full matrix rating of visit aspects, giving service departments a structured diagnostic view
- Pairs quantitative satisfaction and recommendation (NPS-style) scores with a max-diff exercise on what matters most when choosing a repair shop

QuestionPro
Automobile Service Evaluation Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateThis is a pre-built sample questionnaire covering common automobile service satisfaction topics, presented as a static template within QuestionPro's broader survey platform. It's fielding-ready in the sense that it's a downloadable/importable question set, but it relies on fixed questions rather than adaptive probing. Good for shops wanting a quick standard survey without deeper root-cause investigation.
What it does well
- Directly targeted at automobile service evaluation, matching the same use case
- Backed by an established, full-featured survey platform with broad question-type support
- Likely includes standard satisfaction and service-quality question sets similar to industry norms
Where it falls short
- Static question list with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe why an issue wasn't resolved
- No voice AI interview or guided screen-share task option
- No transparent, publishable prompt methodology or automated per-response quality scoring
