A harsh repair-shop review is often about a bill, a delay, or a car that came back. Apologize for that experience. Do not repeat a price, a part number, or a diagnosis in public.

The invoice is private even when the reviewer pasted a number. Your reply does not confirm the figure, correct it, or itemize the job. Say you want to review the repair order with them by phone.
If they say the same noise came back, thank them for bringing it back to you and name the service manager. Do not diagnose the car in the reply. You do not have the car in front of you, and the thread is not a work order.
A delay gets an apology for the time, not a story about the parts vendor. Name when they can call. If you offer a loaner or a ride in the reply, only say it if that is a standing shop practice.
Sign with the service manager or the owner. A reply with no name looks like nobody owns the comeback.

Example review
“Quote was one number and the bill was much higher. Nobody called before they did the extra work.”

Thank you for writing. We are sorry the bill did not match what you expected, and that you were not called first. Please phone us and ask for the service manager so we can open that repair order with you. [Your name], Service manager
