How We Helped an Alcester Garage Boost Bookings with AI Call Handling

🔧 How We Helped a Small Garage in Alcester Stop Missing Calls & Start Booking More Jobs

🚗 The Problem: Too Many Missed Calls, Not Enough Time

Running a garage is tough enough without constantly answering the phone. Our Alcester-based client—a skilled local mechanic—was missing calls daily while under the bonnet.

No receptionist. No time for callbacks.
📉 That meant lost MOTs, lost services, and lost revenue.

He needed help—but not more tech or another app he’d never use.
He needed a solution that just worked, so we worked on building a custom virtual receptionist -ai garage assistant.

💡 The Solution: Simple, Smart AI Built for Garages

At Clientify, we built him a custom solution using our AI Phone System powered by Electronic Receptionist.

📞 When a customer calls, the system answers 24/7
🛠️ Books MOTs, services, and enquiries automatically
📬 Sends missed call summaries straight to his inbox
⚙️ Requires zero tech skills or training to use

“It’s like hiring a receptionist—without the cost.”
– Huw, Garage Owner

📊 Real Results Within Weeks

With no changes to how he works, here’s what happened:

• 📈 More MOTs booked through automated call handling

• ⏰ No more missed opportunities outside working hours

• 💰 Higher monthly revenue from booked-out service bays

• 😌 Less admin stress and zero voicemails to chase
  

He just kept doing what he does best—fixing cars—while the AI handled the rest.
