Service bookings and reminders, while every advisor is at the desk

Service bookings, MOT reminders, part enquiries. The calls that arrive while every advisor is with a customer at the desk.

Incoming call

What this is for

A dealership runs a business development centre because service and sales calls arrive while every advisor is with a customer at the desk. The recurring work is predictable: MOT and service reminders, booking confirmations, parts enquiries. It is also the first thing to slip the moment the showroom gets busy.

What it covers for a dealership

  1. 01

    Books service and MOT work

    It reads the workshop diary live, offers slots that match the job length and the ramp available, then writes the booking with the registration on it.

  2. 02

    Runs the reminder calls

    Service due, MOT expiring, recall outstanding. Called from your list ahead of the date, with the option to book on the same call.

  3. 03

    Answers parts and stock enquiries

    Availability, price and lead time from what you have given it. Anything unusual goes to the parts desk.

  4. 04

    Qualifies sales enquiries

    Which vehicle, part exchange, finance or cash, when they are looking to buy. Captured as fields and routed to sales instead of left on a message pad.

Automotive: common questions

Can it book into our workshop diary?

Yes, against live availability, with job durations and resource rules applied. A two-hour job does not land in a thirty-minute slot.

Does it handle MOT reminders?

Those run as an outbound campaign from your list. It calls ahead of the expiry date and can book the test on the same call.

Can it deal with both sales and aftersales?

Both. Separate branches from one number, or separate numbers if that is how your departments are already set up.

What about part-exchange valuations?

It captures the details, meaning registration, mileage, condition and outstanding finance, then passes them to a valuer. It does not quote a figure.

Does it work for independent garages too?

The mechanics are the same at either size. What differs is how much of it you choose to hand over.
