Stop losing customers because the phone rang while you were under a car
Your Receptionist answers while you're working on a car, and books services, MOTs and repairs straight away.
8 challenges the trade doesn't talk about much
Nothing new for you, under the ramp every day. But together they paint a clear picture of where your revenue disappears to — and it's rarely where you'd guess.
The phone rings while you're under a car
With your hands full of tools, you can't just stop to answer. The call goes to the garage down the road instead.
Urgent jobs arrive in the middle of a busy day
The car won't start, or there's a puncture on the motorway – the customer needs an answer straight away.
The same questions, every single day
"How much is an MOT?" "Do you have time for a service this week?" Trivial questions take up time at the front desk.
There's rarely a spare mechanic just to answer the phone
When the garage is full, phone calls take time away from work on the ramp.
Hours a week go on answering the phone and booking slots
Time that could be spent on the ramp goes on admin instead.
An unanswered call about a repair goes elsewhere
The garage down the road gets the call instead.
Nobody has time to ask for a review
After a repair, the review is usually the first thing forgotten.
Competing garages are already using AI
More and more businesses are already using AI in their day-to-day work. The question isn't whether – but who gets there first in your area.
How a call might sound in practice
Two examples of how Your Receptionist handles typical calls to a garage.
Your Receptionist helps you day to day
- ✓ Always answers the phone – day and night.
- ✓ Transfers to the right person if needed.
- ✓ Answers common questions about price, timing and booking.
- ✓ Books appointments directly in the calendar.
- ✓ Sends you a summary and full transcript of every conversation.
- ✓ You get your own phone number with your receptionist, which you can use and forward calls to whenever you like. We don't change anything in your current set-up – it's easy to switch on and off whenever you want.

Can it prioritise urgent calls?
Yes, it asks about the situation and clearly flags urgent cases in its message to you, so you can judge whether it needs urgent follow-up.
