Missed service reminders leaving oil changes and brake jobs on the table. Estimates that never get followed up on. After-hours breakdowns going to the competitor who responds first. Customers who forget you exist until something fails. We automate all of it for shops with 5 to 50 employees -- without changing how your techs work.

A customer brought in a vehicle for a noise. You diagnosed a failing transmission and quoted the repair. They said they needed to think about it. Nobody followed up at 48 hours, one week, or two weeks. That $2,500 job went to whoever reached them next.
A car breaks down at 7 PM on a Tuesday. The owner searches for a mechanic and fills out a form or sends a message. Your shop does not respond until 9 AM Wednesday. By then, they already booked with the shop that answered within five minutes -- automatically.
You did great work. The customer drove away happy. Then they never heard from you again. Six months later they need brakes and search "brake repair near me" instead of coming back to you. Without a retention system, every satisfied customer is one search away from becoming someone else's customer.
Service reminder automation, estimate follow-up, review generation, and after-hours lead capture for general repair and maintenance shops.
Seasonal tire changeover reminders, brake inspection follow-ups, rotation schedules, and loyalty-driving retention campaigns.
High-ticket estimate follow-up sequences, diagnostic report delivery, repair status updates, and post-repair review requests.
Centralized lead routing, location-specific review generation, fleet service reminders, and cross-location customer tracking.
Every customer gets reminders at the right interval -- oil changes at 5,000 miles or 6 months, brake inspections annually, tire rotations every 7,500 miles. The system tracks service history and sends text and email reminders before the customer forgets. Shops that automate service reminders see 25-40% higher return visit rates than those relying on customers to remember on their own.
When a customer leaves with an open estimate -- a transmission rebuild, an engine repair, a timing belt replacement -- they receive structured follow-up at 48 hours, one week, and two weeks. No pressure, just a reminder that the repair is still needed and booking is easy. Estimate conversion rates climb 20-35% when follow-up is consistent and timely.
Breakdowns do not wait for business hours. Your website and messaging channels get an automated response system that acknowledges inquiries within minutes -- day or night. The lead gets confirmation that their request was received, collects vehicle details, and books them into your next available slot. Speed-to-lead wins in auto repair. The first shop to respond gets the job.
Two hours after vehicle pickup, customers receive a direct link to leave a Google review. Sent while the relief of a fixed car is still fresh. More reviews means higher local search rankings means more customers choosing you over the dealership service department down the street. The gap closes month after month.
Customers who have not visited in 6, 12, or 18 months receive targeted outreach. Seasonal campaigns for winter prep, summer cooling system checks, and pre-road-trip inspections keep your shop top of mind. Reactivation campaigns typically recover 15-25% of lapsed customers -- turning a quiet database into booked bays.
Customers waiting on a repair get automated status updates as work progresses -- vehicle received, diagnosis complete, parts ordered, repair underway, ready for pickup. No more customers wondering what is happening with their car and tying up your service advisors with status inquiries. Fewer inbound questions, higher satisfaction, more five-star reviews.
Conservative monthly estimates based on industry benchmarks for a shop with 5-15 employees
