“Act as a professional customer service consultant for auto repair shops. I need to respond to a negative online review about my shop. Here's what the customer wrote: [paste the review text here]. Draft a professional, calm response that: 1) Thanks them for their feedback without sounding fake, 2) Briefly acknowledges their concern without admitting fault or making excuses, 3) Invites them to contact me directly to resolve the issue (include my shop phone number if I provide it), 4) Keeps it short (3-4 sentences max), and 5) Ends on a respectful, professional note. Make the tone friendly but not overly apologetic.”
