Some Things Are Just Better Together — Like Tea and Biscuits, or Automotive Repair Shop Software and Electronic Receptionist

☕ Some Things Are Just Better Together

There are some pairings in life that just make sense.
Tea and biscuits. Wrenches and overalls. Mechanics and caffeine.

And when it comes to running a successful garage, automotive repair shop software and Electronic Receptionist are a match made in motoring heaven.

Sure, your software handles the schedules, invoices, and job cards. But who’s answering calls while you’re under the bonnet? That’s where our AI-powered electronic receptionist comes in — handling bookings, reminders, and messages 24/7, so you never miss another customer.

🚘 What Automotive Repair Shop Software Does Best

Let’s start with what your automotive repair shop management software already does brilliantly.

These tools — whether you call them automotive garage software, automotive shop management software, or automotive shop software — help you:

• Manage service appointments and jobs

• Track parts, stock, and customer history

• Automate quotes and invoices

• Send service reminders and updates

• Keep your daily workflow running smoothly
  

It’s the backbone of your business — efficient, reliable, and built for busy workshops.

But there’s one thing even the best automotive shop manager software can’t do… answer the phone.

📞 Turning Missed Calls into Booked Jobs

Here’s a stat that’ll make you wince: UK garages miss around 23% of inbound calls — nearly one in four customers never get through. That’s a lot of missed MOTs, oil changes, and potential loyal customers.

That’s where Electronic Receptionist changes the game.

Our AI-powered receptionist picks up every call, handles every enquiry, and even books jobs straight into your system — whether it’s during lunch, after hours, or when your hands are full of grease.

It’s not just about automation — it’s about turning lost opportunities into booked jobs and happy customers.

⚙️ Works Seamlessly with Your Existing Setup

The best part? You don’t have to replace your automotive repair shop software or learn a whole new system.

Electronic Receptionist is designed to work alongside all major garage management systems (GMS), including:

• Garage Hive

• TechMan

• GDS

• Workshop Software

• Autofluent
  
  

And we’re proud to announce our exclusive partnership with Auto Garage Network (AGN) — meaning we can integrate directly into the AGN CRM/GMS for a completely streamlined experience.

That includes:

• Real-time booking and scheduling inside your GMS

• Automatic customer updates

• Full system synchronisation
  
  

Whether you use automotive service appointment scheduling software, automotive repair shop management software, or run without any GMS at all, Electronic Receptionist fits right in. No disruption, no drama — just smoother days and fuller diaries.

💡 Automation That Still Feels Human

At Electronic Receptionist, we know garage owners don’t want more software — they want smarter support.

While others push complicated systems and endless dashboards, we focus on simplicity. We’ve built an invisible partner that handles the admin while you handle the engines.

It’s automation that still feels personal — an AI receptionist that chats like a human, can book jobs like a pro, and never misses a beat.

Because true innovation isn’t about replacing people — it’s about freeing them to focus on what they do best.

🧩 The Perfect Pairing

So yes, you can run your garage with just automotive repair shop software.
And you can have tea without biscuits.

But when you bring them together — your trusted software and Electronic Receptionist — your garage becomes unstoppable.

Fewer missed calls.
More booked jobs.
Happier customers.
Simpler days.

Because some things are just better together. ☕
