AI visibility — Garage / automotive: the 12 questions your clients ask ChatGPT

When someone looks for garage / automotive, they no longer always type it into Google: they ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Claude — and the answer is not ten links, it is a few names. Here are the 12 reference questions for this industry, the same for every brand, so that scores are comparable. In RadarIA, a brand follows up to 15 questions, editable, asked every day.

The 12 reference questions

Written the way a buyer types them: best, comparison, budget, reviews, alternative, specific use case, local, beginner, scams, how to choose. No year, no brand — the questions are fixed, not the answers.

  1. What is the best garage for servicing and maintaining my car?
  2. How do I choose a trustworthy garage when I don't know much about cars?
  3. Independent garage or main dealer: which is better value for servicing?
  4. How much does a full service or a brake pad replacement cost?
  5. How can I tell whether a garage is honest and its quote is fair?
  6. What is an alternative to a dealership for buying a reliable used car?
  7. Which garage can repair an electric or hybrid car properly?
  8. Where can I find a body shop for accident repairs?
  9. It's my first car: how do I find a garage and what maintenance should I plan?
  10. What garage scams and used car dealer tricks should I avoid?
  11. Which garage offers a roadworthiness inspection with a quick turnaround?
  12. Which dealership has the best trade-in and leasing deals?

How RadarIA measures

Each question is asked to the four AIs through their official APIs; we record who is cited and at which rank; an AI that is down counts as absent, never as “not cited”. The full method is published. Read the methodology

Frequently asked questions

Why the same questions for every brand in an industry?

Because a score is only comparable when the protocol is identical. Two brands measured on different questions cannot be compared; with a reference set, an agency can tell its client where it stands against its market.

Are the questions adapted to my country?

Yes: the location is inserted into the local questions (“in Lyon”, “in Morocco”, “in Belgium”), and the set exists in French, English, Spanish and Arabic.

Can I add my own questions?

Yes. The reference set is a base; in RadarIA you add or edit a brand’s questions, up to 15 per brand, and those are the ones measured every day.
