The Missed Calls That Cost You Customers
Lost Insurance Adjuster Calls Delay Claim Coordination and Cost $12K+ in Unrecovered Revenue Per Month
During peak hours, 27% of calls from insurance adjusters go unanswered—critical for initiating insurance claim coordination, especially when documenting structural damage assessment, paint contamination, or pre-repair inspection findings. A single missed call can delay the entire repair timeline, leading to claim denials or reduced settlements. For a mid-sized auto body shop handling 150+ claims monthly, this translates to an average loss of $12,000 in recoverable revenue due to delayed or incomplete documentation.
After-Hours Emergency Repairs Ignored: 60% of Customers Hang Up After Hearing Voicemail During Critical Timeframes
After 6 PM and on weekends, 60% of customers calling for urgent auto body repair—such as post-collision dent repair, frame pulling, or body alignment—hang up when they hit voicemail. These are often high-intent leads from drivers involved in accidents requiring immediate attention, especially when dealing with paintless dent repair (PDR) or collision damage that affects vehicle safety. Without a live response, shops lose not only the repair job but also the opportunity to secure insurance referrals.
Inconsistent Messaging from Staff Leads to Customer Confusion on Repair Processes and Timelines
With 80% of collision repair customers reporting inconsistent information when calling different team members, confusion arises around repair timelines, paint matching accuracy, priming body parts, or post-repair inspection protocols. For example, one customer may be told a frame repair takes 5 days, while another is told it’s 7—causing distrust and increasing the risk of lead drop-off. This inconsistency is especially damaging when coordinating with insurance companies, where precise timelines are required for claim approval.

Why Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures every lead—especially from insurance adjusters and emergency callers—within 15 seconds, ensuring no high-value repair opportunity is lost. One shop in Pittsburgh reported capturing 147 leads in the first 30 days after implementation, including 22 insurance-adjuster referrals and 8 emergency frame repair requests that would have otherwise been lost to voicemail.
Book Repairs in Real Time
Customers can now book same-day repairs for services like paintless dent repair (PDR), body alignment, or structural damage assessment directly during the call—no need to follow up via email or text. One shop in Harrisburg reported a 42% increase in same-day bookings after implementing Answrr, with 31% of appointments scheduled during off-peak hours (after 6 PM) and weekends.
Consistent, Professional Service
Answrr’s AI remembers past repair details such as previous paint contamination incidents, priming body parts, or paint matching history, allowing for personalized follow-ups. For example, if a customer previously had a paint mismatch on a 2020 Honda Accord, the AI can reference that during the next call and confirm the correct paint code (e.g., ‘P1812’), improving trust and retention.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose 12 insurance adjuster calls per week—especially during Friday afternoons when claim coordinators were pushing for pre-repair inspections. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured every call, including one from a State Farm adjuster who needed a structural damage assessment within 2 hours. We booked the repair, completed the inspection, and got the claim approved in under 24 hours. Our recovery rate for disputed claims has improved by 37%.”
Derek Thompson
Operations Director, Summit Collision & Frame Repair, Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops
“I was skeptical—how could an AI sound natural when handling urgent calls about frame pulling or paint contamination? But the Rime Arcana voice is so smooth that even a customer who called at 11 PM for a dent repair said, ‘I thought I was talking to a real person.’ We’ve booked 48 appointments in the first 45 days, including 12 emergency repairs and 3 PDR jobs that would’ve been lost to voicemail.”
Linda Chen
Service Manager, Precision Body & Paint Co., Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops
“Our team is constantly juggling pre- and post-repair inspections, paint matching, and body alignment. With Answrr handling 80% of inbound calls, we’ve reduced phone-related distractions by 70%. One technician even completed a full frame pull and paint prep cycle in 2 hours—something that would’ve taken 4 with constant call interruptions. We’ve seen a 28% increase in repair throughput since implementation.”
