You fix cars. We handle the follow-up.

Three jobs we take off your plate

Example · 9:41 PM · Estimate follow-up sent. Customer replied: "Can I bring it Thursday?"
Days after an estimate · follow-up

Every estimate followed up

A day or two after you write an estimate, the customer gets a short text in your words: any questions, and when would they like to drop the car off.

Before: estimates written, then never heard from again.

During the repair · updates

Customers updated without a call

Customers who agreed to texts get updates as their car moves along: waiting on approval, parts in, in paint, ready for pickup. Every text says how to stop.

Before: "Is my car ready yet?" calls all day.

After pickup · review

A review request after every pickup

Once the car is home, the customer gets a thank-you and your Google review link. Every customer gets it, not only the happy ones.

Before: great work, and nobody online knows.

More Saturdays. Fewer phone calls.

In a lot of shops, estimate follow-ups and "is my car ready?" calls get done late, or not at all. That's the part we automate.

Your front office and techs keep doing what they're good at, and your evenings come back.

Word of mouth is great. Here's what slips through.

  • Estimate requests that sit overnight. By morning, the car is at another shop.
  • Estimates you never followed up. They said "let me think about it" and nobody asked again.
  • Reviews you never asked for. Happy customers who would have said yes, if someone asked.

What slow replies cost you

Put in your own numbers.

An example, not a promise: if 1 in 5 of those would have become a repair. Your numbers stay on this page.

    Your business name and town. In a minute you see what your Google listing and website are missing.

  2. Start your setup

    Pay the setup on Stripe's secure page, then fill in a 10-minute form about what you repair, your hours, and which insurers you're a direct repair shop for, if any.

  3. Approve and go live

    We build your messages. You approve every word in your own portal. Live in 7 days.

No call needed. The report is free, with nothing to buy.

Founding offer · 5 auto body spots

5 new repair jobs in 60 days. Or your setup back.

Your 60 days start the day you go live.

  • Fewer than 5 new customers' cars in for repair by day 60? We refund your $500 setup. We send it within 5 business days. Your bank may take 5 to 10 more days to show it.
  • After day 60, you pay $0 a month until 5 come in.
  • Add each new job in your portal when it comes in. That's it. We check on day 60, and you don't have to ask for the refund.

A customer counts once, when they're new to you and they booked after one of our follow-ups, or first reached you through our link.

All we ask: approve your messages within 3 days (if you take longer, your 60 days start later by the same number of days) and answer the customers who reply.

Months 1 and 2 are charged as normal ($497 each) and aren't refunded. Full terms

Questions

Do I need new software?

No. We build around how you already work and set it up for you.

Is the report really free?

Yes. It reads your public Google listing and website. You decide if you want us to fix what it finds.

What if I don't get 5 jobs?

We check on day 60 after you go live. If fewer than 5 new repair jobs came through the system, we send your $500 setup back within 5 business days (your bank may take 5 to 10 more days), and after day 60 you pay $0 a month until they do. Add each new job in your portal when it comes in; we check on day 60.

What counts as a new repair job?

A customer who is new to your shop, who booked after one of our follow-ups or first reached you through our link, and whose car arrived for repair. Insurance-referred cars, walk-ins we didn't handle, total losses and estimate-only visits don't count. Each one shows in your portal with the date.

Will customers know it's automated?

Messages are written in your business's voice, and nothing goes out until you approve the words.

I work with insurers on a direct repair program (DRP). Will this clash?

Messages only go to customers who contacted you, in your words, and you approve each one. We never talk to insurers for you or tell customers what their insurer will pay.

Does it work with insurance jobs?

Yes. Follow-ups and review requests work the same for insurance jobs. You and your customer still deal with the insurer the way you do today.

Does it connect to CCC ONE, Mitchell or Audatex?

No. You write estimates the way you do today. If you already send repair updates from CCC ONE or another app, keep them, and we leave our status texts off so customers never get two.

How do my customers agree to get texts?

When they call or come in, you or your front desk ask: "OK if we text you about your estimate?" We only text the ones who said yes, and every first text says how to stop.

Most of my work is direct repair. What do I still get?

Follow-ups on every estimate where the customer picks the shop, and a review request after every pickup, insurance jobs included. If CCC already sends your status texts, we leave ours off.

Who do you text, and when?

Only your customers who agreed to texts when they contacted you. Every first text says how to stop. Follow-ups and updates go out only between 9 AM and 8 PM, their time.

Do your messages talk about insurance?

Never about money. Our messages never tell customers what insurance will pay or which shop they must use. In most states the customer picks the shop. You can turn off status texts for any insurer whose program already sends them.

Do you answer my phone?

No. We handle the follow-up by text and email. Your phone stays yours.

What happens to my customers' information?

We never sell it. Your customer list and messages are yours, and they go with you if you leave.
