Your Auto Shop Loses $117,000 a Year in Missed Calls
When a car breaks down and the owner calls your shop, you have 60 seconds before they call your competitor. FrontlineHQ's AI answers your phone 24/7, captures every lead, and books appointments while your mechanics work.
Why Auto Repair Shops Lose Customers Every Day
Your competitors are taking the jobs you're missing.
Breakdown Calls Go to Voicemail
A driver stranded on the highway won't leave a message — they'll call the next shop on Google. Every unanswered call is a lost $450+ repair job.
Competitors Answer While You're Under the Hood
Auto shops that answer every call close 40% more repair jobs. If your phone rings while your team is working on cars, someone else gets that customer.
Estimate Follow-Ups Get Lost
You gave a quote last week but never followed up. The customer called another shop that did. Without a system to capture and track leads, revenue slips through the cracks.

Common Questions from Auto Shop Owners
Can the AI handle breakdown and tow dispatch calls?
Yes. The AI voice agent is trained to recognize urgency signals like 'my car won't start,' 'I'm on the side of the road,' or 'I need a tow.' It captures the caller's location, vehicle make/model, and issue description, then routes emergencies to your dispatch team immediately via text or call forwarding. Non-urgent calls are scheduled for the next available slot.
Does it know my shop's services and labor rates?
Absolutely. During setup, you train the AI on your services, labor rates, brands you work on, warranty policies, and any current specials. It learns from your website, uploaded documents, and FAQs — so it answers accurately about what you offer, turnaround times, and what it costs.
Can it provide estimates and capture vehicle details?
Yes. The AI asks callers for year, make, model, mileage, and a description of the issue. It can provide ballpark estimate ranges for common services (oil change, brake job, timing belt) based on your pricing, and captures everything as a lead for your service advisor to follow up.
How does it handle after-hours and weekend calls?
The AI answers every call 24/7/365 — nights, weekends, and holidays. It triages calls by urgency: breakdowns get escalated to your on-call team, while routine requests like appointment scheduling or estimate inquiries are captured as leads for the next business day.
What if the caller needs to speak with a service advisor?
The AI can transfer calls to any team member at any time. You configure your escalation rules — for example, always transfer when someone mentions a safety issue, or offer transfer on request. The AI takes a detailed message if no one is available and texts it to your team instantly.
