The High Cost of Missed Calls

38%

38% of After-Hours Service Calls Go Unanswered, Costing $53K/Month in Lost Pipeline Sales

In 2025, new car dealerships face a critical gap in Fixed Operations: 38% of after-hours service calls—often from customers with vehicles under 24 months old—go unanswered due to staffing gaps. These missed calls directly impact Pipeline Sales, as many callers are seeking New Car Service or routine maintenance (e.g., oil changes, tire rotations) that could convert into high-margin aftermarket service. With only 54% of new car owners returning to the dealership for service—down from 72% in 2023—each unanswered call represents a lost opportunity to build Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) and secure future repair orders. This inefficiency is costing dealerships an average of $53,000 per month in lost ad spend and unrealized service revenue.

Why Auto Dealerships (New) Choose Answrr

Capture More Service Leads

Our After Hours Answering Service captures 85% of callers who would otherwise hang up after reaching voicemail—especially critical during off-peak hours (7 PM–7 AM) when Service Department staff are unavailable. For a mid-sized new car dealership handling 150+ service appointments monthly, this translates to an average of 42 additional repair orders captured per month. These leads are automatically scheduled with real-time availability updates, reducing manual follow-up by 70% and freeing Service Advisors to focus on high-value tasks like upselling aftermarket service packages and improving Service Retention. Over 6 months, one dealership saw a 22% increase in service appointment conversion and a 19% rise in parts revenue per repair order.

Based on a 2025 Cox Automotive study showing dealerships lost 12% of service visits to competition since 2018, with 38% of calls going unanswered—our solution directly addresses this revenue leak by capturing leads during critical after-hours windows.

The system remembers their VIN, service history, and even the technician they prefer. Our Service Retention for vehicles under 18 months has jumped from 49% to 61% in just four months.
