The problem
You can't answer the phone when you're under the hood on the lift
Running an auto repair shop means your hands are full from open to close. You're under cars, running diagnostics, pulling codes. The phone rings and you either ignore it or stop mid-job to answer with greasy hands. During state inspection season, the calls stack up even faster. The driver whose car won't start is not going to leave a message and hope you call back.

- State inspection season can double your call volume overnight
- A full-time front desk person costs $1,800+/month for a small independent shop

How Auto Repair Shops Use Jodie
Breakdown Call
The situation: A driver calls because their car won't start in a grocery store parking lot. They need to know if you can look at it today and how much a diagnostic costs.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, asks for the make, model, and what happened when they tried to start it. You get a text with the details so you can call back with availability or arrange a tow.
Under a Car on the Lift
The situation: You are under a car on the lift replacing brake pads when the shop phone rings with a new inquiry.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the call, gets the vehicle details and the issue, and sends you a text. You finish the brake job safely and check the message when you come out from under.
State Inspection Booking
The situation: A customer calls wanting to book their car in for a state inspection and oil change. Your schedule is filling up for the week and you are in the middle of a timing belt job.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, gets the vehicle year, make, model, mileage, and preferred dates. You get the booking request by text and can slot them in when you check your schedule.
After-Hours Fleet Call
The situation: A local fleet manager calls at 7pm because one of their delivery vans has a check engine light and they need it looked at before the morning route.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, gets the van info, the warning light description, and the fleet manager's contact number. The message is waiting for you so you can arrange a first-thing slot.
The next breakdown call is going to a shop that answers.
