How a Simple Voice Assistant is Helping Garages Across the UK Stop Losing Bookings
The average UK garage misses 6 to 10 calls a day. That’s up to £2,000 a week in lost bookings — gone, just like that.
It starts the same way most days do. You've just got the ramp up, hands already covered in grease, when the phone rings. You glance over, but you're elbow-deep in someone’s suspension. You tell yourself, "I’ll ring them back." But by the time you do, it’s too late. They’ve gone somewhere else.
That call could’ve been a service, an MOT, or a big job you’d have appreciated come Friday.
Now picture this instead:
The same phone rings. But this time, a friendly voice picks up straight away. It sounds like someone from your team — warm, polite, straight to the point.
"Hi there, thanks for calling. Are you looking to book in for a service, repair, or MOT?"
In less than two minutes, the customer is booked in. You get a notification, job sorted. All without lifting your head from the engine bay.
Meet the Voice Assistant
This isn’t some clunky robot with a dodgy accent and a five-second delay. It’s a professional, conversational voice assistant that answers your calls and gets people booked in — 24/7.
Whether you're flat out in the day or the shop's shut for the night, it never stops working.
For larger operators or more tech-savvy outfits, this also means:
Seamless integration with your existing CRM or booking systems
Analytics and call data to track performance
The ability to scale without hiring more front-of-house staff
Custom call flows to suit multiple branches or departments
What Does It Cost?
Getting started is simple:
£499 one-off setup — we build your assistant to suit your business
£197 per month ongoing — covers support, updates, and hosting
Data usage is minimal — just £0.02 per message
Compare that to hiring a staff member to do the same job:
The average UK automotive receptionist earns around £22,000 per year
That’s about £1,830 per month
For roughly 40 hours of work a week
The Voice Assistant works 24/7 — evenings, weekends, holidays — for a fraction of the cost. It doesn’t get sick, take breaks, or miss a beat.

For the Hands-On Business Owner (And the Strategic One Too)
We know who this is for — the hardworking professionals running garages, MOT centres, and dealerships across the country. Most aren’t sitting behind a computer all day. You’re grafting. You need tools that make you money, not take up time.
And for those running multi-site operations or focused on efficiency and automation, this voice assistant adds scalability without extra payroll.
This voice assistant isn’t here to replace anyone. It’s here to catch the business that’s slipping through the cracks:
When you're too busy to answer
When no one’s on reception
When it’s 8pm and your shop’s shut but someone’s just decided they need an MOT
Real Talk: Every Missed Call Could Be £200+ Lost
Recent data suggests UK garages miss 6 to 10 calls per day on average. At an average booking value of £200 per job — factoring in MOTs, full services and minor repairs — that’s £1,200 to £2,000 per week in lost revenue.
Over a year? You could be looking at £50,000–£100,000 in missed opportunity.
This voice assistant doesn’t just answer the phone — it protects your bottom line.
