AI receptionist for local services
The AI receptionist for car garages and MOT centres
MOT due, a warning light on, or a car that failed somewhere else. The garage that answers and books it in gets the work, and the repairs after.
Sound familiar?
Why car garages and MOT centres lose work to the phone.
An MOT plus a service is over a hundred pounds, and repairs push it far higher. Miss the booking and the whole job goes to the garage down the road.
You are under a car, not by the phone
Elbow deep in an engine, you cannot answer. The customer rings the next garage and books their MOT and service there.
MOT reminders get forgotten
subba can remind last year customers when their MOT is due and book them straight in, filling quiet days and keeping them coming back.
Failed-elsewhere jobs are urgent
A car that just failed its MOT needs sorting fast. subba books it in while other garages are still not answering.
How subba helps
A receptionist that never misses a call.
Answers in seconds, day or night
The moment a call, message or web enquiry lands, subba replies. While you are on the job, out of hours, at the weekend, it never rings out and never sleeps.
It actually books the appointment
This is not a message service. subba checks your real availability and books the customer straight into your diary, then sends the confirmation.
Sounds like you
It learns your services, your prices and your tone, so every reply reads like you wrote it, not a call centre. It talks like local services customers expect.
Takes payment where you want it
For the jobs that need it, subba can take a deposit or full payment into your own Stripe when it books, so no-shows cost you nothing.
Most services take a message. subba books the job.
A call answering service jots down a name and number and hands it back to you to chase. subba checks your diary, books the appointment, takes the deposit and sends the confirmation, all before you have put your tools down. For car garages and MOT centres, that is the difference between a lead and a booked job.
Questions
Garage FAQs.
Can it send MOT reminders and rebook customers?
Yes. subba can remind customers when their MOT is due and book them straight in, so the quiet weeks fill up and regulars keep coming back.
Can it book an MOT and service together?
It knows how long each job takes and books the right slot, so an MOT and a full service go in together without clogging up the ramp.
How quickly can I get set up?
If you already have a website, subba plugs in with a one-line change and you can be live the same day. If you need a website, our Managed plan builds you a booking site and sets up your domain, usually live in about 5 working days.
What does it cost?
Plans start at £9.99 a month and every plan takes unlimited bookings. You only pay more as your enquiry volume grows. There is no setup fee unless you want us to build your website too, and you can cancel anytime.
