The Cost of Missed Calls for Auto Body Shops

85%

Missed Emergency Repair Calls During Critical Hours – Losing Hail Damage and Frame Repair Leads After Hours

After a late-night accident involving structural damage, a customer calls your shop at 11:30 PM seeking immediate collision damage assessment and frame pulling services. With only 34% of auto body shops having a dedicated phone system, your call goes to voicemail. According to industry data, 85% of callers who leave a voicemail never return—especially when they’re dealing with urgent issues like bent frames, paint contamination from road debris, or insurance claim coordination. This results in lost revenue and frustrated customers who turn to competitors offering 24/7 availability for dent repair and body alignment services.

37%

Inconsistent Customer Experience

Without 24/7 coverage, customers hang up when transferred or wait on hold—leading to 37% choosing a competitor based on response speed.

60%

Delayed Response Hurts Revenue

The average response time for auto body shops is 45 minutes, causing 60% of potential customers to go elsewhere.

Why Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops Choose Answrr

Capture More Leads After Hours

Answrr’s AI receptionist answers every after-hours call within seconds, instantly capturing leads for high-value repairs such as structural repair, priming body parts, or paint matching. For example, a customer calling at 1:15 AM after a multi-vehicle collision is asked about their vehicle’s make, model, and damage type—then immediately routed to a technician for a pre-repair inspection. The system checks real-time availability and books a same-day appointment for collision damage assessment, reducing response time from 45 minutes to under 30 seconds—meeting the 92% customer expectation for a 5-minute response. This results in 12–18% more booked appointments from after-hours leads, directly increasing repair revenue.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We used to lose 30% of emergency calls after 7 PM—especially for hail damage and frame repair. One night, a client called at 10:45 PM with a 2023 Ford F-150 that had severe body alignment issues after a rollover. Our AI receptionist captured the call, scheduled a same-day pre-repair inspection, and even noted the vehicle’s previous paint matching history. The customer arrived the next morning and was impressed—our shop booked $4,200 in structural repair work from that single lead. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve reduced after-hours lead loss to less than 5%.
