Mid-paint booth, unreachable: the insurance file goes to the shop next door.
Paint booth, sanding, dent repair: a body tech never picks up mid-job. Yet the typical call — accident, insurance appraisal, post-collision quote — lands during shop hours. Customers compare two or three shops: the first one to answer wins the file.

FAQ
Auto Body Shops: your questions
Can it handle insurance claims?
It captures the context: insurer, claim number, photos, accident date. Everything lands structured in the dashboard so you handle the file without calling the customer back three times.
How does it get damage photos?
AI requests photos right in the text thread and attaches them to the file. When you price the job, you already have the view: fewer back-and-forths, tighter quotes.
Post-accident customers are stressed — does it work?
That's precisely the use case: first contact in 10 seconds, calm tone, simple questions one at a time, a clear promise of your callback. The customer feels taken care of exactly when they're panicking.
We mostly work with fleets, does it fit?
Fleet and corporate requests get tagged and routed per your rules: dedicated contact, priority, reserved slots. The unified report replaces the paper log.
How many extra quotes per month?
Based on 20 missed calls and a 27% close rate, count 5–6 recovered files per month. At a $900 average ticket, that's roughly $4,000–5,000. Run your exact math in our calculator.
