AI receptionist for local services
The AI receptionist for mobile mechanics and garages
You are under a car with a spanner in your hand. The breakdown call that pays your afternoon rings out.
Sound familiar?
Why mobile mechanics and garages lose work to the phone.
A diagnostic and repair is £80 to £250, a breakdown recovery more. A missed call is often a same-day job gone straight to a competitor.
You are under a bonnet, not by the phone
Elbow deep in an engine, you cannot answer. The driver stuck on the roadside rings the next mechanic and you lose the job.
Breakdowns are book-me-now jobs
A car that will not start is an emergency to the owner. The mechanic who answers and books it in gets the work, every time.
MOTs and services need reminding
subba can chase last year customers for their MOT and service and book them in, filling the quiet days between breakdowns.
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 mobile mechanics and garages, that is the difference between a lead and a booked job.
Questions
Mobile mechanic FAQs.
Does it answer while I am on a job?
Yes. Every minute you are under a car, subba is answering the phone and booking the next breakdown or service, so a missed call never becomes a lost afternoon.
Can it chase MOT and service reminders?
It can remind past customers when their MOT or service is due and book them straight in, so the quiet weeks between breakdowns fill up on their own.
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.
