The Cost of Missed Calls for New Car Dealerships
Missed Calls During Peak Sales Hours Impact BDC Conversion Rates
During peak hours (10:00 AM – 12:00 PM), 33% of inbound calls to new car dealerships go unanswered—especially those from high-intent shoppers browsing inventory on CDK or Xtime. This results in lost sales opportunities before the BDC can even qualify leads. For a mid-sized new car dealership averaging 120 daily inbound calls, this translates to 39 missed leads per day, or over 1,100 lost opportunities monthly—directly impacting gross profit on new vehicle sales.
Excessive Hold Times Damage Customer Experience and Lead Retention
With an average hold time of 3 minutes and 5 seconds, 31.8% of callers hang up before connecting to a live BDC agent. This is especially damaging during high-volume periods when customers are comparing pricing on WiAdvisor or RedCap. For dealerships using MyKaarma or TCC for lead tracking, these abandoned calls often go unlogged, leading to missed follow-up windows and reduced conversion rates from inbound sales leads.
After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered, Wasting Service and Sales Revenue
After-hours calls—especially those from customers checking service availability via Autoloop or DealerFX—go unanswered 68% of the time. For a new car dealership with 300+ service appointments per month, this results in over $2 million in annual lost service revenue and missed upsell opportunities on extended warranties, maintenance packages, and new vehicle trade-ins.

Why Auto Dealerships (New) Choose Answrr
Capture More New Car Leads
Since implementing a virtual receptionist integrated with CDK and Xtime, one new car dealership in Dallas increased new car lead capture by 27%—especially between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM, when BDC staffing is minimal. Every call is now answered instantly, with lead data automatically synced to the CRM and tagged as 'High-Intent' or 'Service Inquiry' within 12 seconds.
Automated Appointment Booking
Automated appointment booking via Calendly and GoHighLevel now allows new car buyers to schedule test drives or finance consultations in real time—without waiting for BDC staff. One dealership in Phoenix reduced appointment scheduling time from 14 minutes to under 45 seconds per call, increasing appointment conversion by 41% and reducing lead-to-sale cycle time by 2.3 days.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Privacy
Enterprise-grade encryption ensures that all customer data—especially sensitive information like credit scores, trade-in values, and lease terms—is securely stored and processed. With AES-256-GCM encryption and GDPR-compliant memory controls, dealerships using Answrr report zero data breaches, even when integrating with DealerFX or Tekion platforms.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“Our BDC was maxed out during peak hours, and we were losing 1 in 3 new car leads. After switching to Answrr, we captured 27% more leads—especially after 5 PM when our sales team clocks out. The AI voice is so natural, customers don’t realize they’re talking to a machine. We now auto-log every call into CDK and tag it as 'Test Drive' or 'Finance Inquiry'—no more missed follow-ups.”
Derek Thompson
Sales Director, Horizon Motors (New Car Dealership), Auto Dealerships (New)
“I was skeptical about AI handling service calls, but Answrr’s Rime Arcana voice is indistinguishable from our BDC staff. Now, even after hours, customers can book service appointments via Autoloop or RedCap, and the system syncs directly to our TCC calendar. Hold times dropped from 3:05 to under 10 seconds—our customer satisfaction scores jumped 22% in just 6 weeks.”
Linda Chen
Service Manager, Summit Auto Group (New Car Dealership), Auto Dealerships (New)
“Before Answrr, 13% of leads weren’t logged into our CRM—especially those from WiAdvisor and MyKaarma. Now, every call is recorded, summarized, and automatically tagged with lead source, intent, and next steps. We’ve reduced lead leakage by 92%, and our BDC team now focuses only on high-value follow-ups instead of data entry.”
