Every Missed Call = Money Gone

While you're under the sink or on a ladder, competitors are stealing your jobs

01

You miss the “won’t start” call—and the tow goes elsewhere

Breakdowns are a race. If you don’t answer in the first minute, they call the next shop. One missed tow-in can turn into a $500–$3,000 repair you never even got a chance to quote.

02

You can’t safely answer while working

You’re mid-brake job, impact gun running, hands covered in oil, car on the lift. Stopping to answer isn’t just annoying—it’s risky. Meanwhile the phone keeps ringing and money keeps walking.

03

After-hours calls become “voicemail = no business”

Customers call after work, on weekends, or from the roadside. Voicemail rarely gets a message. That’s lost diagnostics, inspections, and emergency work before you even open the bay door.

The Solution

Your AI Receptionist That Never Sleeps

Answers missed & busy calls automatically

Keep your existing shop number. SkipCalls picks up only when you can’t—so you still take calls when you want.

Emergency-first call handling

Flags urgent scenarios (won’t start, overheating, grinding brakes, stranded roadside) and collects the exact details you need to act fast.

Appointment booking for diagnostics & service

Books oil changes, brake inspections, check-engine diagnostics, and drop-offs right to your calendar based on your rules.

Instant call summaries for the bay

Get the customer name, vehicle info, symptoms, and preferred time—so you can call back between jobs without replaying voicemail.

Spam & robocall filtering

Blocks the warranty vultures and sales spam so real customers get priority.

Texts the caller automatically (so they don’t disappear)

If you’re busy, SkipCalls can text the customer right after the call: “Reply here with year/make/model + issue.” You keep the conversation moving.

“
“We were losing the best calls: ‘car won’t start’ and ‘brakes grinding’—because nobody can answer while a car’s in the air. SkipCalls started catching those and booking diagnostics without us touching the phone. In the first month we booked three tow-ins and a transmission estimate we would’ve missed.”

Questions? Answers.

What’s the #1 problem this solves for auto repair shops?

+

Missed calls when you’re in the bay. Breakdowns and urgent “can you fit me in?” calls go to the first shop that answers. SkipCalls answers instantly, captures the details, and locks in the job before they call your competitor.

Will this replace my business number?

+

No. Customers still dial your normal shop number. You simply forward missed/busy/after-hours calls to SkipCalls, so it only answers when you can’t (or don’t want to).

Can it handle true emergencies like a roadside breakdown or overheating engine?

+

Yes. You can set an “emergency script” so it prioritizes urgent cases, gathers critical info (location, symptoms, tow status), and marks it as urgent in your summary so you can respond fast.

Will customers know it’s AI?

+

Most won’t. SkipCalls sounds like a real receptionist and follows your shop’s wording. You can also enable voice cloning so it sounds like you. If you prefer full transparency, you can instruct it to identify as an assistant—your choice.

Can it book jobs on my calendar?

+

Yes. It can book diagnostics, drop-offs, and scheduled services directly to your calendar using the rules you set (hours, buffer time, what you do/don’t schedule).

How fast can I set it up?

+

About 60 seconds. Install the app, choose your settings, and turn on call forwarding. No hardware. No new phone system.

Do I need technical skills to use it?

+

No. If you can install an app and toggle call forwarding, you’re done. You can also keep it simple: answer missed calls + send summaries.

What carriers or phone systems does it work with?

+

Any carrier or phone system—no exceptions—as long as it can forward calls. If it forwards, SkipCalls works.

Can it stop spam calls and warranty pitches?

+

Yes. SkipCalls filters obvious spam/robocalls so you and your team spend time on real customers instead of telemarketers.

Is it really worth it for a small shop?

+

One captured brake job ($300–$800) or one tow-in repair ($500–$3,000) can cover the annual plan many times over. The bigger win is speed: you stop losing the “urgent” calls you never get a second chance at.
