Every bay full, phone ringing —
that’s money on hold.
Your service writer is with a customer, both techs are flagged, and the phone rings with a brake job. Hank answers, books the drop-off, quotes only what you allow, and texts the day’s list so nobody stands at the counter re-listening to voicemail.
That number is Hank himself — the same system your customers would reach. The demo is the pitch.

Deliberately conservative assumptions. $1,500 to get started (complete build + your first month of live service included), then $497/mo a month for up to 300 calls/mo, 75¢/call over 300. That's the math on averages — book a 15-minute call and we'll run it on your actual call volume, before you pay anything.
The calls
What Hank handles for auto repair shops
Front-counter chaos means the phone loses to the human standing there — every time.
“Can you look at it today” callers book wherever someone answers and says yes.
Status-check calls (“is my car ready?”) eat your writer’s day one interruption at a time.
Appointment booking
Symptoms, vehicle, drop-off vs. wait captured; slot booked by your bay rules.
Status checks
“Is it ready?” answered from your board notes without pulling anyone off a ticket.
Estimate calls
Approved menu prices quoted (oil, brakes, diagnostics); everything else booked as a diagnostic, honestly.
Towing coordination
Breakdown callers get your process — tow partner info captured, arrival flagged to the counter.
Every call recorded, summarized, and texted to you. Anything outside his rules transfers to your cell or becomes a message — he never guesses.
Beyond the phone
Once Hank is on your line,
the interesting work starts.
Hank is the front door — one problem, one price, live in 48 hours. Once he's answering calls for auto repair shops, he already knows more about how your business runs than any single tool you use. That's when the automation ladder above him starts to matter.
See the whole ladder →-
Revenue Automation
Recall + declined-work follow-up — the brake job the customer said "next month" to, chased at day 30 without your writer thinking about it.
-
Operations Automation
Pickup-day invoicing with a QR code on the receipt so payment clears before the customer's out of the parking lot.
-
Operations Automation
Status-check calls answered from your board so your writer isn't explaining "not ready yet" fifty times a day.
All scoped on the same 15-minute call. Quoted per build — the only fixed price on the site is Hank himself.
Prove it
Have Hank call you.
Put your cell in and he calls in about fifteen seconds. Ask what your customers would ask. Interrupt him. Try to stump him. Then read what this looks like for auto repair shops.
Request a call from Hank at Matthews Automation. You can ask about your business and hear how the conversation feels. A tailored demo of your own company is configured separately.
Straight answers
Questions auto repair shops actually ask
Can Hank quote repair prices?
Menu work you approve, yes — oil changes, brake specials, diagnostic fee. Anything diagnostic-dependent he books instead of guessing, which is the same thing your best writer does.
Does he integrate with my shop software?
He starts with your calendar and gets smarter from there. The setup covers how you book today; most shops are live inside 48 hours without changing any software.
What’s it cost?
One plan: $1,500 to get started — that's the complete build plus your first month of live service included. Then $497/month, up to 300 calls, 75¢/call over. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. One recovered brake job a week is roughly 4× the monthly. Running 800+ calls a month or multi-location? That's a Mike conversation, not the walk-in menu.
