The Cost of Missed Calls
Missed Insurance Adjuster Calls Delay Pre-Claim Inspections and Structural Repairs
Auto body shops lose critical insurance claims when adjusters call after hours—27% of adjuster calls go unanswered, delaying pre-claim inspections and preventing timely structural repair assessments. Without immediate response, insurers may assign claims to competitors, especially when urgent frame alignment or total loss assessment is needed within 24 hours of accident reporting.
45-Minute Response Time Causes 60% Lead Drop-Off on High-Value Collision Repairs
With an average response time of 45 minutes, collision repair shops lose 60% of leads before they even speak to a technician. This is especially damaging for customers needing urgent bumper replacement, paintless dent repair (PDR) for hail damage, or insurance-approved repair coordination—services where speed directly impacts customer retention and claim approval timelines.
Inconsistent Call Handling Undermines Trust in Critical Repair Scheduling
When different staff members answer calls inconsistently—some offering clear coat application timelines, others missing details on body filler estimates—customers perceive a lack of professionalism. 35% of customers choose a shop based on response speed, particularly when scheduling time-sensitive repairs like structural repair after a front-end collision or coordinating rental car logistics post-accident.
