The High Cost of Missed Calls

85%

Missed Insurance Claim Coordination Calls During Peak Repair Hours

During high-volume repair periods—such as after major storms or holidays—insurance adjusters frequently call to confirm pre-claim inspections, discuss total loss determination, or request estimate approvals. With 85% of auto body shop leads lost due to missed calls, and only 30% of shops using automated systems, critical communication gaps occur. For example, a technician may be mid-way through a frame alignment procedure, leaving a call from an adjuster about a $12,000 repair job unanswered. This delay can result in the adjuster assigning the job to a competitor, especially when the customer expects immediate confirmation on OEM vs. aftermarket parts and clear coat repair timelines.

45 minutes

Slow Response Times Hurt Reputation

With an average response time of 45 minutes, customers go elsewhere—especially when they need emergency auto body repair.

30%

Overwhelmed Staff Can’t Handle Calls

Technicians and managers are on the shop floor, yet calls for collision repair estimates go unanswered, leading to lost business.

It then books a repair appointment with a 92% response rate, ensuring the customer doesn’t go to a competitor.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing at least 4–5 insurance claims per week because we couldn’t answer calls during frame alignment or paint booth cycles. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured every call—even during a 3-day storm surge that flooded our shop. The AI now handles pre-claim inspections, schedules repair-to-estimate ratio reviews, and even confirms whether we’re using OEM parts for a 2023 Tesla Model Y. Our estimate approval rate is up 35%, and we’ve reduced customer drop-off by 60%.
