The problem

You can't answer the phone from under a car on the ramp

Running a garage means your hands are full from 8am to 6pm. You're under cars, using air tools, running diagnostics. The phone rings and you either ignore it or stop mid-job to answer with greasy hands. During MOT season, the calls stack up even faster. The driver whose car will not start is not going to leave a message and hope you call back.

  • 72% of callers needing urgent car repair won't leave a voicemail
  • MOT season booking surges can double your call volume overnight
  • A full-time receptionist costs €1,800+/month for a small independent garage
  • Every missed breakdown call is a €400+ repair job walking into another workshop
