The Missed Calls That Cost You Customers

80%

Lost Leads from After-Hours Calls During Critical Post-Accident Window

After a collision, 78% of customers won’t leave a voicemail—especially during nights, weekends, or holidays. For auto body shops, this means missed opportunities for high-value structural repairs, frame pulling, and insurance claim coordination. A caller involved in a rear-end collision at 11:30 PM may abandon the search entirely if they can’t speak to someone immediately. Without a 24/7 answering system, shops lose up to 40% of potential repair jobs, especially those involving pre-claim inspections or urgent dent repair needs.

40%

No Real-Time Quote Availability for Insurance-Driven Repairs

Customers seeking repair after an accident often need a quote within 10 minutes to proceed with their insurance provider. Delays in providing a preliminary estimate for paint contamination, priming body parts, or paint matching can cause them to switch to a competitor who offers instant quotes. This is especially critical for collision repair shops handling claims with insurers like State Farm, GEICO, or Progressive, where timely estimates are required to maintain claim approval status.

45 minutes

Staff Overwhelmed During Peak Hours: Dropped Calls During High-Volume Accident Surges

During peak hours—typically 9 AM to 3 PM—body shop staff are inundated with calls for dent repair, paintless dent repair (PDR), and structural repair scheduling. With an average response time of 45 minutes, customers often hang up before reaching a live agent. This leads to lost bookings for urgent repairs like pre-claim inspections, insurance claim coordination, and complex repairs involving frame pulling or priming body parts.

Why Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops Choose Answrr

Capture More Accident Leads

Our AI receptionist answers emergency calls 24/7, capturing leads from after-hours accidents—such as a 2 AM fender bender involving paint contamination or a multi-vehicle crash requiring structural repair. Since implementation, shops have booked an average of 31 new repairs from after-hours calls within the first 60 days, with 85% of callers who reach voicemail never returning. The AI also remembers past jobs—like a 2022 Ford F-150 with frame pulling and custom paint matching—so customers don’t have to repeat details.

For example, a customer calling at 10:15 AM after a fender bender can get a same-day appointment for paint matching and priming body parts within 90 seconds. This reduces abandonment rates by 40%, especially for customers who prefer to speak with a real person immediately after an accident.

This personalization increases retention by 22%, especially for repeat clients needing follow-up repairs or insurance claim coordination. The system also auto-logs customer concerns, such as a preference for OEM paint matching or avoiding body shop estimator delays.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We used to lose half our accident calls—especially after midnight. Last month, a driver hit a guardrail at 1:17 AM, and our AI answered immediately. It scheduled a pre-claim inspection, confirmed insurance claim coordination, and even noted the customer’s past repair involving frame pulling on a 2019 Silverado. We booked that repair within 12 minutes. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve secured 31 new repairs from after-hours calls—most of them from high-value structural repair jobs.

Jennifer Garcia

Operations Manager, Garcia Auto Body, Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops

I was skeptical—how could an AI handle complex collision repair conversations? But the voice is so natural, and it understands terms like 'priming body parts,' 'paint contamination,' and 'structural repair.' After a 3 AM call about a rear-end collision with paint matching issues, the AI booked a same-day appointment and even reminded the customer about their deductible. Our response time dropped from 45 minutes to 7 seconds. We’ve booked 28 new repairs in the last 45 days—most from after-hours leads.
