Shops lose business the same way every time: a call missed while a tech's hands are on a car, an estimate that never gets a follow-up call. Standby sets up an AI support team that answers the phone, books service, and chases estimates automatically.
Every technician on a car is a technician who can't answer the phone. Between missed calls, estimates that go unanswered, and reminder calls that never happen, shops leave real revenue on the table every week — often without realizing how much.
An AI support team answers every call, books service appointments straight into your bay schedule, and follows up on estimates so customers don't take their car — and the job — somewhere else.
Built around bay schedules, not a generic call script.
Service requests get booked straight into your bay schedule, even when every tech is heads-down.
Quotes sent to customers get a timely follow-up — so the job doesn't go to whoever calls back first.
Customers due for routine service get a nudge to book, keeping your bays full on slower weeks.
We scope this at your audit — most modern shop management platforms can connect, and we'll say plainly if yours can't.
No — it backs them up on the calls and scheduling that would otherwise be missed, and hands off anything that needs a person.
Every engagement starts with an AI Readiness Audit (~$300–750, credited toward a build) — most shops land in Build & Teach (~$1,500–5,000) after that.
