The Missed Calls Cost Used Car Dealerships Thousands

85%

After-Hours Service Inquiries Go Unanswered During Key Selling Windows

During peak evening hours (5 PM–9 PM), used car shoppers often call to inquire about specific vehicles in your inventory—especially those listed on Facebook Marketplace or Autotrader. With 85% of callers who reach voicemail never returning, you’re losing high-intent leads during the most active browsing window. For example, a customer searching for a 2019 Toyota Camry with under 60,000 miles may call at 7:30 PM after viewing your listing—only to be routed to voicemail. Without immediate engagement, that lead vanishes, costing you a potential $25,000 sale.

62%

Staff Diverted from Vehicle Inspections and Repairs to Answer Phones

At a typical used car dealership, technicians spend 4–6 hours per day on vehicle inspections, repairs, and prep work. During this time, front desk staff are often pulled away to answer calls about financing, test drives, or trade-in values—interrupting workflow and delaying vehicle readiness. With 62% of calls going unanswered during these critical service windows, you risk missing out on appointment bookings for essential maintenance, like brake inspections or transmission checks, which could lead to a $1,200 lost revenue per missed service call.

$3,000–$5,000

Hiring a Full-Time Receptionist Is Cost-Prohibitive for Mid-Sized Dealerships

A mid-sized used car dealership with 20–30 vehicles on the lot typically operates on a lean team. Hiring a full-time receptionist at $4,500/month (including benefits) is not scalable. For a dealership with 150+ monthly customer inquiries, this cost equates to $54,000 annually—while only covering 8–10 hours of daily coverage. With Answrr, you gain 24/7 answering capability at $299/month, ensuring every inquiry about a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle or trade-in valuation is captured—even during weekend service shifts.

Why Used Car Dealerships Choose Answrr

Capture More Leads After Hours

Answrr’s AI receptionist answers after-hours calls within 3 seconds, asking qualifying questions like, 'Are you interested in a 2020 Honda CR-V with low mileage?' and immediately books a service appointment in your dealership’s calendar. One dealership in Phoenix reported a 42% increase in after-hours service appointments within 30 days—adding 17 new scheduled inspections and 5 trade-in evaluations, generating $14,200 in incremental revenue.

85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back—Answrr captures these high-intent leads before they disappear.

Automate Appointment Booking

When a customer calls about a vehicle listed on CarGurus or Cars.com, Answrr instantly checks your real-time service schedule and books a 2:00 PM test drive appointment—without requiring staff to return calls. This eliminates phone tag and reduces appointment scheduling time from 15 minutes per call to under 30 seconds. One dealership in Atlanta reduced follow-up time by 90%, resulting in a 38% increase in test drive conversions over 6 weeks.

67% of customers hang up when they can’t reach a real person—Answrr prevents this by providing immediate, human-like responses.

Natural Voices That Build Trust

Using Rime Arcana voice technology, Answrr speaks with a warm, conversational tone—perfect for handling complex inquiries like 'Do you have a 2018 Ford F-150 with a clean title and under 80,000 miles?' The AI understands automotive terminology and can even confirm if the vehicle is currently in the shop for a pre-purchase inspection. Customers report feeling confident they’re speaking with a knowledgeable team member, not a robot.

62% of calls go unanswered due to poor answering systems—Answrr ensures every call is answered with a professional, natural response.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing 28% of after-hours leads—especially on Friday and Saturday nights when our sales team was busy preparing vehicles for the weekend. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve booked 41% more service appointments in the same timeframe. One customer called at 8:15 PM about a 2021 Subaru Outback with a clean title; the AI booked a 9 AM Saturday inspection, and we closed the sale the next day. It’s like having a second salesperson who never sleeps.

Service Manager, Thompson Auto Group (Used Car Dealerships), Used Car Dealerships

I run a 12-vehicle used car lot in Tulsa. I used to answer every call myself—until I missed a key trade-in inquiry from a customer with a 2017 Toyota Highlander. I was in the back doing a pre-sale inspection. That lead never came back. Now, Answrr answers every call, even when I’m under the hood. In the first month, we captured 12 previously lost trade-in leads and booked 8 service appointments. It’s been a game-changer.

The AI even handles questions about our CPO certification process—just like our top sales rep would.
