The Critical Gap in After-Hours Customer Engagement
Missed After-Hours Leads from BEV/PHEV Shoppers: 40% of New Car Buyers Inquire After Hours
Auto Dealerships (New) lose critical sales opportunities when prospective buyers—especially those researching high-demand BEV and PHEV models like the Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E, or Hyundai Ioniq 5—contact the dealership after 6 PM or on weekends. With 40% of car buyers browsing and inquiring outside business hours, and 60% open to online purchases, every unanswered call represents a lost opportunity to capture a lead before they contact a competitor. Without 24/7 lead capture, dealerships risk losing up to 15% of potential new vehicle sales annually.
Extended Service Wait Times for ICE and BEV Repairs: Average 12-Day Wait for Service Appointments
Since 2018, the average wait time for a service appointment at Auto Dealerships (New) has increased from 7 to 12 days, particularly for complex repairs involving ICE drivetrains and BEV battery diagnostics. This delay leads to lower CSI scores and reduced customer retention. With 12% of repairs not completed correctly on the first visit—especially in BEV systems requiring specialized diagnostic tools—customers often return, further straining service advisor bandwidth and increasing labor costs. This inefficiency directly impacts first-time fix rate and long-term brand trust.
Fragmented Omnichannel Communication: Customers Repeat Trade-In Requests and Vehicle History Across Channels
At Auto Dealerships (New), service advisors frequently face the challenge of customers calling, texting, and visiting in person—only to repeat their trade-in request, vehicle mileage, or prior repair history. This lack of integration across phone, email, and CRM systems results in a 50% increase in customer frustration and 20% longer service interactions. For example, a customer who submitted a trade-in request via a digital form may call the next day only to be asked the same questions again, damaging trust and reducing the likelihood of a repeat visit.

Why Auto Dealerships (New) Choose Answrr
Capture More Leads After Hours
Answrr’s 24/7 AI answering service captures after-hours inquiries from shoppers researching BEV and PHEV models, automatically logs the lead, and books a personalized virtual consultation within 90 seconds. One dealership in Austin, TX, saw a 38% increase in after-hours lead conversion within 30 days—resulting in 12 additional new vehicle sales per month. The system also qualifies leads by asking targeted questions (e.g., ‘Are you interested in a PHEV with a 50+ mile electric range?’), improving sales team efficiency.
Reduce Service Wait Times
By syncing with the dealership’s service calendar in real time, Answrr schedules service appointments—especially for BEV and PHEV vehicles requiring diagnostic checks—within 2 minutes of a request. This reduces average wait times from 12 to 5 days. One dealership in Denver reported a 41% reduction in appointment delays and a 27-point increase in CSI scores within 60 days. The system also flags high-priority repairs (e.g., battery degradation alerts) and routes them to certified technicians, improving first-time fix rate from 88% to 95%.
Eliminate Repetitive Customer Communication
Answrr’s long-term memory stores every customer’s vehicle history, trade-in request, and preferences—such as a preference for low-mileage used BEVs or a history of oil changes every 3,000 miles. When a customer calls about a service appointment, the AI recalls their last visit, prior concerns, and even their interest in a specific model (e.g., ‘I’m still interested in the 2024 Kia EV6’). This eliminates repetition, reduces call time by 40%, and increases customer satisfaction scores by 32 points. One dealership in Charlotte, NC, reported a 22% increase in service repeat visits after implementing the system.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing 10–15 leads per week after 6 PM, especially from buyers looking at the Tesla Model Y and Ford F-150 Lightning. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured 92% of those after-hours inquiries—many of them for BEV models—and converted 70% into appointments. The AI even remembers trade-in values and preferences, so our sales team can start the conversation instantly. It’s like having a second sales rep who never sleeps.”
