The cost of a missed call

What you're losing right now

🔧

Phones interrupt every repair

Your techs are diagnosing a misfire. The phone rings. Every interruption breaks concentration and slows the bay down.

🚙

Same questions, every call

"Do you do brakes?" "How much for an oil change?" "Are you open Saturday?" Same questions, every shift. RingOwl handles them automatically.

📆

After-hours bookings lost

Your shop closes at 6. Customers think to schedule at 7. By morning they've booked at the shop down the street.

Hey, my brakes are squealing. How soon can I bring it in?

We can fit you in tomorrow morning at 9 am for a brake inspection. About an hour. Sound good?

What's it going to cost?

RingOwl AI

Inspection is free. If you need pads + rotors on a midsize, it usually runs $280–$420 depending on parts. We confirm the quote before doing any work.

Questions

Automotive owners ask us

  • Can it give repair estimates over the phone?+

    For common services (oil change, tire rotation, brake job, alignment) it quotes from your menu. For diagnostics it books an inspection and quotes after the tech sees the car. No customer hears "it depends" without a number.

  • Can RingOwl tell customers if their car is ready?+

    RingOwl handles inbound scheduling and questions. For live repair-status updates it captures the request and routes it to your service writer — direct shop-management-system integration is on our roadmap.

  • Does it sync with my scheduling system?+

    RingOwl books against your connected Google Calendar today. Service appointments land on the calendar your service writer already checks. Direct shop-management integrations are on our roadmap.

  • What about fleet customers?+

    RingOwl identifies fleet callers by phone number and routes them to your dedicated fleet contact. Their account details surface in the call summary so pricing and terms stay consistent.

  • Can it handle towing or roadside requests?+

    If you don't offer towing, RingOwl politely declines and refers them out. If you do, it captures the location, vehicle, and situation, and routes to your tow operator.
