Stop Losing $400+ Per Missed Call: AI Receptionist for Auto Repair Shops

For Auto Repair Shops, Tire Centers, Oil Change Services & Car Dealerships

Busy auto repair shop with mechanics working while phone rings unanswered

The $70 Billion Auto Service Industry's Phone Crisis

Auto repair shops lose $400-800 per missed call, with 55% of calls going unanswered during peak hours. AAA research shows that customers call an average of 3 shops before booking, and 78% won't leave voicemails - they'll simply call your competitor instead.

The automotive service industry generates over $70 billion annually, but individual shops struggle with a fundamental problem: you can't diagnose engines and answer phones simultaneously. When you're under the hood, covered in grease, or focused on complex repairs, every missed call represents a customer driving to your competitor down the street.

The Hidden Costs of Missed Service Calls

Industry Research Shows:

  • 55% of auto service calls go unanswered during busy periods (ASA Study)
  • Average repair ticket value: $400-600 per visit
  • Oil change services: $50-80 with high frequency (every 3-6 months)
  • Customer lifetime value: $2,500-4,000 per vehicle owner
  • Peak call times: Monday mornings and Friday afternoons
  • Emergency repairs: 35% of calls are urgent, time-sensitive issues
