The Cost of Missed Calls
Missed Insurance Claim Coordination Calls During Critical Post-Accident Window
After a collision, insurance adjusters typically call within 15–30 minutes of the incident to initiate claim coordination. With 85% of adjusters who leave voicemails never returning, your shop loses high-value claims—especially those involving structural repair, OEM parts, or complex frame alignment assessments. Without immediate response, adjusters move on to shops with faster communication, even if your shop has better rates or certification. This delay directly impacts your revenue and ability to secure full-coverage repairs.
Overwhelmed Staff During Peak Repair Cycles: Missed Urgent Repairs and Rental Car Needs
During high-volume periods—such as after severe weather or holiday accidents—your team is often deep in pre-claim estimates, paint matching, or post-repair inspections. With 34% of customers choosing shops that respond within 2 minutes, calls for urgent bumper replacement, paintless dent repair (PDR), or rental car coordination go unanswered. This not only damages customer trust but also delays critical repairs, increasing the risk of claim denials due to missed deadlines.
Delayed Customer Follow-Up on Critical Repair Timelines
After an accident, customers expect immediate answers on repair timelines, insurance claim status, and rental car availability. With an average response time of 45 minutes, 60% of potential customers abandon the call and go to a competitor—especially when they’re dealing with a damaged vehicle requiring structural repair or body shop certification. This delay can cost you not just the job, but also the chance to offer a pre-claim estimate or schedule a post-repair inspection before the claim expires.

Why Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops Choose Answrr
Capture More Insurance Claims
Answrr answers every adjuster call within 15 seconds, capturing claims before competitors. For example, one shop in Pittsburgh secured a $12,000 structural repair job after an adjuster called at 10:47 PM—just 3 minutes after the accident. The AI immediately confirmed the shop’s body shop certification, scheduled a pre-claim estimate, and sent a digital intake form. This resulted in a 27% increase in insurance-authorized jobs within 60 days.
Book Same-Day Repairs Automatically
Our AI receptionist checks real-time availability and books same-day repairs—ideal for customers needing urgent bumper replacement, PDR for hail damage, or rental car coordination. One shop in Cleveland reduced their average booking time from 45 minutes to under 90 seconds. A customer called at 7:15 AM after a morning crash; the AI confirmed availability, scheduled a 9:00 AM appointment, and sent a digital pre-claim estimate—securing the job and saving the customer a full day of downtime.
Never Lose a Lead After Hours
With 24/7 coverage, your shop never misses a call—even during holidays, after-hours emergencies, or weekend accidents. One shop in Phoenix received a call at 1:23 AM from a customer whose vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run. The AI answered, confirmed the shop’s OEM parts availability, scheduled a frame alignment inspection, and sent a digital claim form—all before the customer even left their driveway. This led to a 95% reduction in missed leads and a 40% increase in after-hours bookings.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose 4–5 insurance claims a week because adjusters couldn’t reach us after hours. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured every claim—especially those involving frame alignment and OEM parts. Last month, we secured a $14,500 repair job from a major insurer after an adjuster called at 11:17 PM. The AI handled the entire intake, scheduled a pre-claim estimate, and sent the claim packet in under 5 minutes. We’ve seen a 27% increase in insured jobs in just two months.”

“I was nervous about AI answering calls—what if customers felt misled? But the voice is so natural, and it handles real collision repair questions like PDR for hail damage, rental car coordination, and paint matching for color-matched repairs. Last week, a customer called at 8:30 PM about a dented fender. The AI booked a 9:00 AM appointment, confirmed our body shop certification, and even sent a digital pre-claim estimate. We’ve reduced missed calls by 95% and gained 12 new repeat customers from after-hours leads.”

“After a major storm, we were flooded with calls for hail damage repairs—PDR, bumper replacement, paint matching. Our team was in the middle of post-repair inspections and couldn’t answer. Answrr handled 42 calls in one evening, booked 17 same-day appointments, and even scheduled pre-claim estimates for insurance. We didn’t lose a single lead. Now, we use it every weekend and during weather emergencies—no more missed opportunities.”
