PhonePick

For auto repair shops

An answering service for garages with a car on the hoist

You are under a car with the radio on. The phone in the office rings out, and somebody whose brakes are grinding books in down the road instead.

Live in about ten minutes. From $29 a month. No contract, no setup fee, cancel any time.

The number that matters

Most garage calls are a booking or a status question. Both are lost entirely if nobody picks up.

You can check that against your own week. Below is the same sum with your figures in it.

What it's costing you

Do the sum on your own numbers

Set to a typical job for this trade. Change it to whatever is true for you.

Nothing is sent anywhere — the sum happens in your browser. It assumes PhonePick reaches every missed caller, and that they convert like the ones you already speak to. Whether that holds is your call, not ours.

What it does

Three things, on every call

It books the car in

Make, model, what it is doing, and a slot that fits your bay.

It answers the status calls

Or takes the message so you ring back once, at a sensible time.

It never quotes a repair

Only what you wrote down. It will not guess at a price for a noise.

Before you ask

Auto repair shops ask these three

Can it book a car in?

Make, model, what it is doing and a slot that fits your bay — into the calendar you already keep.

Will it quote a repair?

No. Only a sentence you wrote. It will not put a price on a noise it has not heard.

What about people ringing for a status update?

It takes the message so you ring back once, at a sensible time, instead of climbing out from under a car every twenty minutes.

The next one rings whether you're ready or not

Ten minutes to set up. You keep your number, and you can undo the whole thing with one dialled code.
