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 $75 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.

And it learns. Anything a caller asks that it can't answer is written down for you — add the answer once and the very next caller hears it. It never guesses in the meantime.

And it answers in 85 languages. Someone who starts speaking Punjabi, Spanish or Hindi is answered in it mid‑call, and gets the whole job done in it — booked, quoted, written down. On every plan, with nothing to set up. What reaches you is in English either way. The full list.

On the Operations plan

And the rest of the front office

Everything above comes with every plan, from $75 a month. Operations, $149 a month, adds the work around the calls — these are the two parts that matter most here. Each one is off until you switch it on.

Parts receipts, filed from your phone

Text a photo of the parts-counter receipt to your PhonePick number. It files the total and the tax printed on it with the photo, flags anything it could not read, and your bookkeeper gets one CSV at month end.

Customers who haven't been back, on one list

Past customers not seen in 3, 6, 9 or 12 months, each with a Call button — last spring's tire change, the car that is due a service. You ring them yourself: an AI voice making a sales call needs written consent a past booking doesn't give, so it never calls them on a booking alone.

In the US, texting starts once carriers approve your business, which usually takes one to three weeks. Calls are answered from day one.

A booking page of your own, on Operations and Growth: customers book an appointment themselves at phonepick.ai/book/your-name — from your website, the Book button on your Google listing or a QR code — and only at times that are really free, because the page and the phone share one diary. How it works.

Growth, $449 a month, adds sales calls: it qualifies the buyers who ring, tells you straight away about the hot ones, and calls back your website leads — only ever people who asked, or agreed in writing, to hear from you.

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
