The questions worth asking on every call, whoever picks up:

A voicemail greeting that gets you what you need:

"You've reached [Your Shop]. We're under a car right now. Leave your name, your car and what it's doing, and we'll call back by [time]."

A text to send straight after a missed call:

"Hi, it's [Your Shop]. Sorry we missed you. What car is it, and what's it doing? We'll find you a time to bring it in."

The problem it solves

In a busy shop, the phone rings while the people who could answer it have their hands in an engine. The service writer can only hold one conversation at a time, and the next caller gets voicemail.

What it does on a shop call

What stays yours

Anything it can't answer comes to you straight away with the whole conversation. Everything is recorded and transcribed, so you can read what was said before the car arrives.

What a missed call costs you

Say a brake job brings in $800. Two of those a month that went to voicemail is $19,200 a year, and a customer who finds another shop tends to stay there.

The three calls you get

Something's wrong with the carYear, make and model, what it's doing, drop off or waitTalalevel books the bay on your calendar, with the vehicle and the symptom in the notes
How much for...Which job, front or rear, what it's doingIt quotes only the prices you've given it, and otherwise says bring it in and you'll look before quoting
Something only you knowWhat they needIt comes to you straight away, with the whole conversation

Your service writer gets a break

One person at the counter can only hold one conversation, and the next caller gets voicemail. Talalevel takes the calls your counter can't, in your shop's name, so the person in front of you gets your full attention and the person on the phone still gets a bay.

More than the phone

The receptionist answers the calls you already get. Talalevel is a growth firm, so it can also bring in the ones you don't: high-quality leads, exclusive or shared, ads and outreach, every quote followed up and regulars brought back.
