The inspector is under a chassis: the driver books the next center down the road.
An inspection center runs on the phone: reschedules, price questions, re-tests. When the line rings during a vehicle inspection, nobody answers — and the driver calls the center next door, listed a few dollars cheaper online. A lost slot doesn't refill itself.

The problem
Where it leaks
An inspection center runs on the phone: reschedules, price questions, re-tests. When the line rings during a vehicle inspection, nobody answers — and the driver calls the center next door, listed a few dollars cheaper online. A lost slot doesn't refill itself.
The fix
What Signal does
Signal answers every missed call: text in <10 s, AI asks the useful questions (vehicle type, gas or diesel, motorcycle, routine test or re-inspection) and offers your open slots. The appointment books itself, the re-test scheduled right after.

FAQ
Vehicle Inspection Centers: your questions
Can it tell a routine test from a re-inspection?
Yes — AI asks the situation (periodic test, re-test after a fail, plate change) and books the right slot with the right duration. The matching price is shown in the message.
Does it handle motorcycles, vans and quadricycles?
You configure your categories once; AI routes each vehicle to matching slots and prices. Out-of-scope requests (heavy trucks, say) get flagged instead of booked.
Our centers have a front desk — why me?
Your desk is staffed during opening hours, not evenings or Sundays — exactly when a driver realizes their inspection is overdue. Signal picks up those calls and turns them into next-day bookings.
Does it work with our center management software?
Calendars sync via Google Calendar today; business-software connectors are on the roadmap. Meanwhile, the dashboard centralizes every booking and every text thread.
How many extra bookings per month?
With 50 missed calls per month and an 18% close rate, count about ten recovered inspections. At $90 each, the estimate lands near $800 — plus the re-inspections you keep.
