The fix

How Ominvo fixes it for Auto Services

A customer claims you recommended repairs they did not need. No response for 10 days.

That is a serious concern and I want to address it directly. Every recommendation we make is based on what we find during the inspection — we document everything and I am happy to walk you through what we found and why we flagged it. Please call us or come in and ask for me personally. I would like to show you exactly what we were looking at.

A five-star review: "Fast oil change, friendly staff." No reply posted.

Fast turnaround on an oil change is something we genuinely take pride in — glad the team made it easy. See you at the next one.

A two-star review: "Quoted $200, paid $340 at pickup. No warning." Posted 3 weeks ago with no response.

That is not how we should be operating and I am sorry it happened that way. If the scope of work changes, we are supposed to call before we proceed — not surprise you at the register. I would like to understand exactly what happened on your visit. Please reach out directly so we can make this right.

Trust is your best marketing. Protect it.
