The Lost Leads & Missed Opportunities

27%

Missed Calls During Peak Hours: Losing 27% of Collision Repair Leads After 5 PM

During high-volume hours—especially after 5 p.m. and on weekends—your shop receives 27% of calls unanswered. A customer calls after a rear-end collision at 6:30 p.m., needing urgent bumper repair and insurance claim coordination. If your front desk is swamped or off-duty, they hang up and call a competitor who answers immediately. This isn’t just lost leads—it’s lost revenue from pre-claim estimates, frame straightening, and glass replacement bookings that could’ve been secured in real time.

45%

No Real-Time Response to Emergencies: 45% of Customers Demand 5-Minute Response Times

After a fender bender on the highway, a driver needs immediate help with a total loss assessment or paintless dent repair (PDR) for a dented door. With 45% of customers expecting a response within 5 minutes, a 24-hour average response time from your shop creates a perception of unresponsiveness. A delayed reply means the customer books with a shop that offers same-day appointment scheduling for underbody repair or refinish matching—especially critical when insurance adjusters require fast turnarounds.

30%

Overwhelmed Front Desk Staff: 30% of Customers Hang Up on Voicemail During Insurance Claim Coordination

Your front desk is flooded with calls about insurance claim coordination, pre-claim estimates, and repair status updates for frame straightening and glass replacement. With 30% of callers hanging up when they hear voicemail, you’re losing customers who need urgent help—especially those dealing with rental car logistics or repair timelines. Staff are too busy managing claim calls to focus on customer experience, leading to missed appointments and poor service consistency.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing nearly 30% of our leads after 5 p.m.—especially from drivers involved in accidents on the way home from work. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve booked same-day appointments for frame straightening, PDR on dented hoods, and even total loss assessments. One customer called at 11:45 p.m. after a fender bender; the AI scheduled a repair and coordinated with their insurance adjuster before we even opened the next morning. Our conversion rate from after-hours calls has jumped from 5% to 62%.

Derek Thompson

Owner, Precision Collision & Refinish, Collision Repair / Auto Body Shops

I was skeptical—how could AI handle insurance claim coordination and pre-claim estimates without sounding robotic? But the voice is so natural, and it even understands terms like ‘refinish matching’ and ‘underbody repair.’ Since going live, we’ve booked 40% more appointments, including 12 glass replacements and 7 PDR jobs in the first two weeks alone. Our team is no longer buried in phone calls—just focused on the repairs.
