Keep wrenching. We will get the phone.
You cannot stop a brake job to answer the phone. AnswerCove picks up, gets the year, make, model, and the problem, books the drop-off into your calendar or a callback for an estimate, and texts a confirmation so a ready-to-pay customer never drives to the next shop.
Live in minutes. No new hardware. Keep your number.
Every missed call is a missed customer
Both bays are full and the phone rings out, so the customer calls the shop down the road.
Callers want a quote you cannot give over the phone anyway, and you lose the lead screening them.
Tow-ins and after-hours calls go to voicemail and vanish.
An AI receptionist and answering service for auto repair shops
Books the drop-off or the callback
It checks your calendar and books the appointment, then texts a confirmation. For jobs that need a look first, it captures the vehicle and problem for an estimate callback.
Captures the vehicle and the issue
Year, make, model, and a description of the problem, so your callback is informed, not a cold start.
Catches tow-ins and after-hours
Urgent and late calls become clear, booked or flagged, instead of dead voicemails.
Common questions
Will it give a repair quote?
No. It explains a quote needs a look, then books an estimate appointment or a callback and captures the vehicle and problem so your team is ready.
Can it schedule the appointment?
Yes, if you want it to. Turn on scheduling and connect your Google Calendar and it books the slot directly, then texts a confirmation. Prefer to schedule yourself? Keep booking off and it takes a message with the details so you can call back and book it.
What about emergencies or tow-ins?
It flags urgent calls and captures them right away so you can prioritize the callback.
Is there anything to install?
No. Forward your shop line to your AnswerCove number and you are live.
