The Cost of Missed Calls
Missed Insurance Adjuster Calls During Critical Claim Windows
Insurance adjusters frequently call during high-stress post-accident periods—often within 15 minutes of a crash. With 80% of auto body shop leads lost due to unanswered calls, your shop risks losing repair jobs before you even begin the pre-claim estimate. For example, if an adjuster calls during a major storm-related accident surge and finds your line busy or voicemail, they’ll likely move to a competitor with faster response times. This directly impacts your ability to secure claims involving frame straightening, OEM parts sourcing, or total loss assessments, especially when adjusters need immediate confirmation of your shop’s availability and certification.
Lead Drop-Off During Peak Repair Surges and Emergency Repairs
During accident spikes—such as after a winter ice storm or holiday weekend—your team may be fully occupied with collision repair workflows like refinish process scheduling, paintless dent repair (PDR) for hail damage, or insurance claim coordination. With 60% of leads dropping off when callers hear voicemail, you’re losing customers who need same-day auto body repair for rental car coverage or urgent safety repairs. For instance, a driver with a damaged front bumper requiring OEM part replacement may abandon the call if they can’t get a real-time response, even if your shop has the capacity.
Delayed Responses Undermine Customer Trust in Critical Moments
Customers expect a response within 5 minutes of calling—especially after a crash—yet the average auto body shop response time is 45 minutes. This delay erodes trust during high-emotion moments. A customer calling about a total loss assessment or mobile auto body repair service for a vehicle parked in a garage may assume your shop is unresponsive or overwhelmed. In reality, your team may be mid-way through a complex refinish process or coordinating with an insurance provider on a pre-claim estimate, but without an immediate acknowledgment, the customer moves on to a competitor with a faster digital presence.

Why Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead
Our AI answering service captures every call—even during a 3-hour accident surge—by instantly routing insurance adjusters and customers to a live agent or scheduling a same-day appointment. For example, one shop in Pittsburgh used the system during a snowstorm, capturing 42 insurance adjuster calls in 90 minutes. Of those, 37 were converted into paid repairs, including 12 involving frame straightening and 8 with aftermarket parts approval. The system also collects customer details for pre-claim estimates, reducing manual data entry by 70%.
Book Same-Day Repairs
Automatically schedule same-day repairs and mobile services by integrating with your shop’s calendar. When a customer calls after a fender bender and needs paintless dent repair (PDR) for hail damage, the AI confirms availability, books a 2-hour window, and sends a confirmation with your shop’s body shop warranty details. One shop in Harrisburg reported a 40% increase in mobile service bookings after implementing the system, with 85% of those appointments being completed within 24 hours of the initial call.
Secure & Compliant
Enterprise-grade encryption and GDPR compliance ensure sensitive data—such as insurance claim coordination details, VINs, and repair histories—are securely stored and transmitted. This is critical when handling claims involving OEM parts, total loss assessments, or multi-shop comparisons. One shop in Allentown reported zero data breaches over 18 months of use, even during high-volume claim processing, and received positive feedback from adjusters for their secure, compliant communication process.
