Never Miss a Repair Call While You’re Under the Hood
Your hands are covered in grease. The lift is up. The phone is ringing in the office and nobody’s there to grab it. That caller needs a brake job, a diagnostic, or a drop-off slot — and they’re about to call the shop down the street instead. We stop that.

The Problem
Auto Repair Shops Lose Thousands to Unanswered Phones
You can’t work on cars and answer phones at the same time. But every unanswered call is a customer choosing a different shop — often permanently.
45%
Of shop calls go unanswered during peak hours
Between 8 AM and noon, your bays are full and your techs are elbow-deep in engines. The phone rings, nobody picks up, and a $600 brake job walks across the street.
$800–$2K
Average repair value per missed call
Diagnostics, transmission work, timing belt jobs — these aren’t oil changes. A single missed call is often a multi-hundred-dollar repair plus the lifetime value of a loyal customer.
72%
Of customers check reviews before choosing a shop
Auto repair is a trust-critical industry. People read reviews obsessively before handing over their car. If your review count is low or stale, you’re losing to shops with better social proof — even if your work is superior.
After 5 PM
Drop-off requests flood in when you’re closed
Car owners search for shops after work. They want to schedule a drop-off for tomorrow morning. Your voicemail doesn’t book appointments. Their next Google result does.
The Solution
How Ignitvio Keeps Your Bays Full
Four systems working together so every phone call, drop-off request, and after-hours inquiry turns into a booked appointment.
AI That Speaks Auto Repair
Our AI knows the difference between a check engine light and a transmission rebuild. It asks the right questions — year, make, model, symptoms — so when your service advisor gets the lead, they have everything they need to quote and book.
- ▪Captures vehicle year, make, model, and mileage
- ▪Identifies service type: diagnostic, repair, maintenance
- ▪Routes urgent breakdowns vs. scheduled service appropriately
Missed-Call Text-Back
When you can’t answer, the customer gets a text within 60 seconds: “Hey, this is [Your Shop]. We saw you called — what can we help with?” That text keeps them engaged instead of calling the next shop on the list.
- ▪Fires within 60 seconds of a missed call
- ▪Personalized to your shop name and services
- ▪Qualifies the lead via two-way text conversation
Automated Review Management
Trust is everything in auto repair. After every completed job, our system automatically requests a Google review from the customer. More reviews means more trust, higher rankings, and more phone calls from people ready to book.
- ▪Sends review requests after job completion automatically
- ▪Builds the social proof that wins new customers
- ▪Improves Google Business Profile ranking over time
After-Hours Drop-Off Scheduling
AI chat on your website books drop-off appointments 24/7. A customer searches “brake repair near me” at 9 PM, lands on your site, and books a 7 AM drop-off — all without you lifting a finger.
- ▪Books drop-offs and diagnostic appointments around the clock
- ▪Captures vehicle info and issue description before arrival
- ▪Syncs directly to your shop calendar
