Missed Call Text Back for Auto Repair Shops

Auto repair customers often call multiple shops for diagnostics, pricing, availability, and scheduling. If the service desk misses a call, that repair order may go to a competitor. Recover Missed Call helps auto repair shops instantly text missed callers, collect vehicle and repair details, and route the opportunity to the shop.

How it works

Missed call → instant SMS → AI intake → owner alert → booked job.

1

Missed call

A customer calls while the service advisor is busy.

2

Instant SMS

The customer gets a text asking what vehicle issue they need help with.

3

AI intake

The AI collects vehicle issue, year/make/model, urgency, preferred appointment time, and whether towing is needed.

4

Shop alert

The shop receives the repair lead details.

5

Booked repair

The service team follows up and schedules the vehicle.
