The phone problems specific to auto garage & mechanicss
- Phones ring constantly with status questions ('is my car ready?').
- Drop-off and pickup scheduling is informal and chaotic.
- Quote requests for common services (oil change, brake pads) take time to answer one by one.
- After-hours breakdown calls go unanswered.
What IT Habit does for auto garage & mechanicss
Service catalogue + quotes
Loaded with your service prices (oil change €60, brake pads €180, etc.). Gives instant quotes for common services and books accordingly.
Status notifications
When you mark a car as 'ready' in the dashboard, the customer gets an automatic SMS — no more callbacks.
Vehicle history
Recognises returning customers and pulls up the vehicle's service history — last service date, mileage, recommended next service.
Drop-off scheduling
Books drop-off slots that respect your bay capacity and mechanic availability.
Parts availability
Tells callers if a part is in stock or needs to be ordered, with estimated arrival time.
Emergency routing
Roadside breakdown calls get routed to your emergency line or partner towing service.
Integrations
IT Habit connects natively with the tools auto garage & mechanicss already use:
- Google Calendar
- Calendly
- Custom CRM via API
Custom integrations are available on the VIP plan via REST API.
Typical ROI
A garage with 2 mechanics receiving 50 calls/day saves an average of 8 hours/week of admin time on phone status updates and quote requests, while capturing 5–10 additional bookings/week previously lost to busy lines.
Frequently asked questions
Can the AI give a precise quote for a specific repair?
For standard services (oil change, tyres, brake pads), yes — the agent reads from your dashboard pricing. For complex diagnostics, it schedules an inspection appointment instead.
How does it handle the 'is my car ready?' calls?
Returning customers are recognised by phone number. The agent checks the vehicle status in your dashboard and answers in seconds. When you mark a car as ready, the customer gets an automatic SMS — eliminating most status calls entirely.
Does it integrate with my workshop management software?
We integrate with Google Calendar for scheduling. Custom integrations with workshop management software (e.g., Garage Hive, Shopmonkey) are available on VIP.
