 Auto Repair Shop CRM: From First Call to Loyal Customer

Auto Repair Shop CRM: From First Call to Loyal Customer

"Hi, my check engine light is on and I'm worried..."

"Yeah, I can bring it in Thursday. Do you have availability?"

"I need a quote for brake replacement."

These calls come in all day. Your service writers are with customers. Your mechanics are under cars. The phone rings. And rings. And goes to voicemail.

60% of auto repair calls go unanswered. That's 60% of potential revenue driving to your competitor.

The Auto Shop Phone Problem

Auto repair shops live and die by the phone:

  • Breakdowns are urgent — customers need immediate answers
  • Estimates require back-and-forth — customers call multiple shops
  • Maintenance reminders drive repeat business — but most shops don't send them
  • Parts availability questions — customers want answers before they drive in

But your team is physically unable to answer while doing the work.

How Nexxy Transforms Auto Repair Shops

1. AI Answers Service Calls

When a customer calls about a brake squeal:

  • AI answers, collects vehicle info (year, make, model, mileage)
  • Describes symptoms and urgency
  • Books appointment based on shop capacity
  • Sends confirmation text with estimated cost range
  • Flags urgent safety issues for immediate callback

2. Maintenance Reminder Campaigns

Nexxy tracks every vehicle's service history and automatically:

  • Texts oil change reminders at recommended intervals
  • Emails seasonal maintenance specials (winterization, AC check)
  • Calls dormant customers who haven't visited in 12 months
  • Offers loyalty discounts for repeat business

3. Estimate Follow-Up

After sending an estimate but no booking:

  • Day 1: "Your quote is ready. Questions?"
  • Day 3: "We have a 10% off brake special this week."
  • Day 7: "Your estimate expires in 7 days. Final follow-up!"

4. Review Generation

After every service, Nexxy sends review request within 2 hours. Shops with 50+ Google reviews get 3x more organic calls.

5. Fleet Account Management

For shops with commercial fleets, Nexxy tracks multiple vehicles per company, schedules bulk maintenance, and sends monthly fleet reports.
