Auto shops lose 30% of inbound calls during peak hours

A check-engine light or a brake squeal is an urgent need. If you don't answer, they drive to the next shop on the GPS. That's a $400+ ticket gone.

Wait vs drop-off

Tells customers whether their service is a wait-or-drop, based on your shop's actual times.
