Auto Repair & Mechanics Industry

AI Answering Service for Auto Repair Shops

You're under a car with oily hands. The phone rings. OnCallClerk picks up, captures the job, and texts you the details.

Sound Familiar?

These are the phone challenges auto repair & mechanics businesses face every day.

Hands Under the Bonnet

You can't drop a timing belt job to answer the phone. But the caller wanting an MOT will just ring the next garage if nobody picks up.

Small Team, Big Workload

Most independent garages have 1-3 mechanics and no dedicated receptionist. The phone gets answered when someone isn't busy, which isn't often.

Noise and Mess

Even if you hear the phone over the air tools and compressor, answering with dirty hands and a ramp in the way isn't practical.

MOT and Service Season

Spring and autumn MOT rushes flood your phone. You can't take on every job if you can't answer every call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AI book MOTs and services?

Yes. Set your available slots and the AI books directly. Or it captures the customer's preferred date and vehicle details for you to confirm.

Can it answer pricing questions?

Yes. Add your standard prices (MOT, oil change, brake pads by vehicle type, etc.) and the AI quotes them accurately.

What about breakdown or recovery calls?

You can configure urgent call handling for breakdowns. The AI captures location and fault details, then alerts you or your recovery partner immediately.

We're a small garage. Is this worth it?

Especially for small garages. You don't have a receptionist, so every missed call is a missed job. One extra MOT booking a week covers the monthly cost.

How much does it cost?

From $30/month. That's roughly the profit on one MOT. Everything after that is pure upside.
