How does Answrr integrate with my shop management software?

Answrr supports MCP protocol, allowing seamless integration with your existing tools. Whether you use GoHighLevel, Calendly, or a custom system, your AI receptionist can access real-time availability, update job statuses, and sync appointment data automatically.

What if a customer wants to discuss a specific repair like a powertrain control module issue?

Answrr uses RAG knowledge base technology to pull information from your uploaded service documents. It can answer questions about repairs, parts, and timelines using your own data—ensuring accurate, brand-consistent responses.

Can I customize the AI to sound like my shop’s brand voice?

Yes. You can choose from multiple Rime Arcana voices with different accents and tones, and customize the greeting and tone of voice to match your shop’s personality—whether professional, friendly, or fast-paced.

What happens if the AI can’t answer a question about a rare vehicle model?

The AI will recognize the gap in knowledge and seamlessly transfer the call to a human technician with full context—ensuring no customer is left waiting and no information is lost.

The Cost of Missing Calls for Auto Repair Mechanics

85%

Missed Emergency Calls During Critical Repairs Like ABS Module or Transmission Fluid Flush

Mechanics are frequently in the shop bay performing high-stakes repairs—such as replacing a faulty ABS module, performing a transmission fluid flush, or diagnosing a misfire via OBD2 scanner—where phone access is impossible. With 85% of auto repair shops reporting missed calls due to staff being occupied, a customer calling about a brake failure or engine warning light during a cylinder head gasket replacement may hang up after 30 seconds (43% abandon calls over 30 seconds) and go to a competitor. This results in lost emergency business and potential safety risks.

4.2 hours

Slow Response Times Hurt Reputation

With an average response time of 4.2 hours when no dedicated call handler is present, customers lose trust and choose faster shops.

62%

No System to Track Incoming Calls

Without a call tracking system, follow-ups are lost and customer retention drops. 62% of customers choose a shop based on quick response—but most miss the mark.

Real Results from Real Businesses

“We were losing at least two emergency calls a week—once a customer called about a coolant leak during a transmission fluid flush, and another about a grinding noise after an alignment spec adjustment. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured every call. Last month, we booked 11 new appointments, including a 3 a.m. call about a failing PCM that we scheduled for same-day diagnostics. Our response time is now instant—no more lost leads during busy bays.”
