How do car dealerships get more genuine Google reviews they can plan for?
The best moment for a review is vehicle handover: customers receive a high-quality card with two equal QR codes — one scan leads to your Google profile, the other directly to you. Happy buyers review in seconds; criticism about advice or delivery reaches you privately before it goes public. No star filter, no review gating — and StarDesk shows you what works, without linking your Google account.

- Sales and delivery teams stay unburdened — one scan, no typing; no extra training needed

FAQ
When should the team hand over the card?
At vehicle handover — when the customer takes delivery of their new car and is already reaching for their phone. A neutral line like "We'd love your feedback" is enough; the card explains itself.
What happens if a customer was unhappy with the handover?
Both codes sit side by side as equals — an unhappy customer can review publicly too. In practice, many choose the direct line instead: criticism lands in your private inbox and you respond personally — often before it becomes a public one-star review. That is not filtering; it is an additional offer to talk.
Does this work for new and used car departments alike?
Yes — the touchpoint is handover, not the department. Whether new cars, used cars or lease returns: once the key is handed over, the moment is right. The Safety Score™ adapts to your profile volume.
What about workshop customers after service?
The card fits there too — when the vehicle is returned after repair or inspection. The flow is identical: one scan, no typing. Criticism about wait times or billing can stay private before it goes public.
