Stop Missing Calls at Your Garage – Without Hiring More Staff
Let’s be honest – when you’re under a car, halfway through a job, or out collecting parts, the last thing you need is the phone ringing off the hook. But miss a call, and you could be losing a customer. That’s where Electronic Receptionist steps in. It’s like having someone on the phone full-time – without paying for a receptionist.


The Smart Way to Handle Calls While You Crack On With the Work
Let’s be honest – when you’re under a car or in the middle of a job, the last thing you need is the phone ringing off the hook. But miss a call, and you could be missing a customer.
That’s where Electronic Receptionist comes in. It’s a proper auto shop call handling service – like having someone answer the phone, filter the time-wasters, and even book in jobs, without you needing to hire anyone.
Why UK Garages Are Turning to Auto Shop Call Handling
You can’t answer every call, especially when you're busy in the workshop. But each missed call is a missed chance at work.
Our system makes sure your auto shop never misses a call again. It’s simple, reliable, and built to work just like a proper receptionist would – without the cost.
Here’s What It Can Do:
✅ 1. Answers Calls Even When You’re Flat Out
Whether you’re on a test drive, stuck under a bonnet, or it’s after hours, the system handles the call. It greets your customer, takes the booking or message, and keeps things moving.
✅ 2. Books in Jobs Automatically
No more back-and-forth trying to arrange times. The system lets customers book MOTs, services, or repairs straight into your calendar. No missed work – just more time for the job at hand.
✅ 3. Handles More Than One Call at Once
If two or three people ring at the same time, every call still gets answered. No voicemail, no waiting: Listen to our auto shop call handling.
✅ 4. Filters Time-Wasters From Real Jobs
We set it up so the system knows the difference between a breakdown and someone ringing round for tyre prices. You only deal with the stuff that matters.
✅ 5. Works When You Don’t
It covers evenings, weekends, and holidays – so your auto shop call handling keeps running, even when you're not.
✅ 6. Saves You Money
No need to hire or train staff. No paying for missed call centres who don’t know your trade. Just a flat monthly price for a service that works.
