Post-Service Follow-Up & Reviews for Bicycle Shops

{"faqs":[{"answer":"CallMyCustomers runs done-for-you post-service follow-up campaigns: after each repair, our team calls or texts the customer in your shop's name, thanks them, and asks happy riders for a review. Every script is approved by you first, and we also write a personal, on-brand reply to every review every week. You never chase reviews manually again.","question":"How does a bike shop collect more Google reviews after tune-ups and repairs?"},{"answer":"Yes — we work from your CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale list exactly as it is. There's no software to buy, install, or learn. We segment your repair history by recency and service type, and all replies route back into your existing booking process.","question":"Can this work with my existing bike shop POS system?"},{"answer":"We work only from lists of real customers, honor opt-outs immediately, and follow all calling and texting regulations. The booking flow collects explicit consent, and everything is permission-based — your customers hear from the shop they already chose, with messages you approved.","question":"Is it compliant to call and text my past service customers for follow-up?"},{"answer":"First we do a free list review and you approve the scripts and offers — typically a short planning phase. Once outreach begins, replies often come in as soon as the first wave goes out, and follow-up campaigns run continuously so customers never go dormant again.","question":"How long before a post-service follow-up campaign starts producing results?"},{"answer":"Your mechanics are already the salesperson, mechanic, and local cycling mayor — adding follow-up calls to their day means it never happens. Software gives you tools but not labor. CallMyCustomers is done-for-you: real humans make the calls, texts and emails are included in your quote with no per-seat pricing, and you approve every message before it goes out.","question":"Why not just use email marketing software or have my mechanics call customers?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free list review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your repair-ticket history — CRM, spreadsheet, or POS export.

The customer who bought an e-bike from you last season — now part of a segment that represents 21.3% of US bicycle market revenue ($1.96 billion in 2025) — has no reason to think of your shop for that annual tune-up unless someone actually reaches out."},{"icon":"TrendingUp","stat":"Imports down from 19M+ to 8.54M units","color":"from-orange-500 to-yellow-500","title":"Thinning new-bike margins can't carry the shop anymore","description":"Post-pandemic inventory gluts forced heavy discounting across the IBD channel, and with US bicycle imports falling from 19+ million units in 2021 to 8.54 million in 2025 — import value dropping below $1 billion for the first time since 2006 — commodity new-bike sales are diluting the higher-margin service business that actually keeps an independent bicycle dealer alive.
