The High Cost of Missed Repair Calls
Missed Insurance Adjuster Calls During Critical DRP Coordination
During peak repair cycles, especially when handling Direct Repair Program (DRP) claims, 27% of calls from insurance adjusters go unanswered—often during after-hours or high-volume periods. This delay can stall insurance estimate approval, trigger total loss frequency risks (20–22%), and jeopardize DRP status. For example, a missed call during ADAS calibration scheduling can push vehicle cycle time by 3–5 days, increasing customer dissatisfaction and repair delays.
Delayed Repair Approvals Due to Lack of Real-Time Status Communication
With 55% of consumers expecting daily text updates on their vehicle’s repair status, failing to deliver updates leads to repeated calls and trust erosion. In collision repair shops managing high volumes of OEM parts ordering, catalytic converter theft repairs, or waterborne paint applications, missing a status update can delay insurance estimate approval by 2–3 business days—especially when parts are backordered or ADAS calibration is pending.
Staff Overwhelm During Weather-Driven Repair Surges
After severe hail storms, repair volume can spike by 150% overnight. With 14% higher repair delays during peak seasons, staff struggle to manage inbound calls for insurance claims, DRP coordination, and customer inquiries. For example, a shop handling 20+ vehicles with water damage and diminished value claims post-storm may miss 40% of initial customer calls—leading to lost appointments and reputational risk.

Why Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops Choose Answrr
24/7 Call Answering with Natural Voices
Our AI voice agent answers every call 24/7 with natural-sounding, human-like voices—critical for capturing insurance adjuster calls during off-hours. One shop in Texas reported a 31% increase in DRP-eligible repairs after a major hailstorm, with 18 new insurance estimate approvals secured within 48 hours of the storm—directly attributed to never missing a call.
Real-Time Appointment Booking
Real-time appointment booking syncs instantly with your shop’s calendar and DRP systems. For example, a shop in Florida reduced appointment scheduling time by 70%—from 12 minutes per call to under 3 minutes—by automating bookings for ADAS calibration, OEM parts installation, and waterborne paint prep. This cuts vehicle cycle time by an average of 1.8 days per vehicle.
Long-Term Memory for Customer History
Long-term memory stores customer history—including past repairs, preferred parts (OEM vs. aftermarket), and claims like catalytic converter theft or diminished value claims. A shop in Ohio used this to auto-verify a repeat customer’s prior ADAS calibration, reducing scheduling errors by 40% and improving CSI scores by 15 points in one quarter.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost 5 DRP appointments in one week after a hailstorm because our team was buried in calls. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured 29 new DRP repairs in the next 10 days—especially from insurers who needed immediate confirmation on OEM parts availability and ADAS calibration timelines. Our vehicle cycle time dropped from 18 to 13 days.”
Marcus Johnson
Owner, Johnson’s Auto Body & Collision Center, Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops
“Customers were calling 3–4 times a week asking about their vehicle’s status. Now, our AI sends automated updates after each repair milestone—after paint prep, ADAS calibration, final inspection. Our CSI score jumped from 785 to 870, and we’ve seen a 22% increase in repeat business from customers who felt informed throughout the process.”

“We process 12–15 ADAS calibration jobs weekly, each requiring precise scheduling and insurance approval. Answrr now books appointments, confirms OEM parts delivery dates, and alerts us when a customer’s vehicle is ready for calibration—freeing up our technicians to focus on repairs. We’ve reduced scheduling errors by 38% and improved our DRP compliance score by 15 points.”
