Incoming Call...
Customer
"My car won't shift gears properly. Can you look at the transmission today?"
AI Receptionist
"Yes! We have an opening at 2 PM for a diagnostic. I'll get you scheduled—what's your vehicle make and model?"
✓ Appointment Booked • 2 PM Today
You're losing customers every day you miss their calls. Drivers call during repairs, no-shows waste your bay time, and your team can't keep up with emergency breakdowns.
Someone's transmission fails at 6 PM, they call for help, and get voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already towed their car to the shop that answered immediately.
While you're diagnosing a slipping clutch, three more calls come in. Status updates, quote requests, appointment questions—you can't be wrenching and answering at once. Customers get frustrated waiting, and you lose jobs.
You block out a bay, order parts, and prep for the job. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted bay time and lost revenue.
