For independent collision & body shops

Missed calls are missed repair orders.

You’re in the booth, writing an estimate or on with an adjuster. The phone rings out. The caller dials the next shop.

Call the BodyWerks demo line: (815) 913-2653

BodyWerks is a made-up body shop. Nick, the AI receptionist, answers just like your shop’s line would: name, vehicle, damage, insurance, and a booked estimate.

What happens to the calls you miss

  1. The caller doesn’t leave voicemail.
  2. They call the next shop on Google.
  3. That’s a repair order gone.

What GoodRinger does

Keep your number. Forward missed or busy calls to GoodRinger.

What could missed calls cost your shop?

Your estimate. Count every call to the shop line in a normal week.
Default: auto service centers miss 20% of inbound calls (Invoca, 2023). Change it to your shop’s real number. Invoca
Default ≈20%: Invoca found 39% of auto service calls are sales leads and 51% of those convert (39% × 51%). Your estimate. Invoca
Default: average insurance repairable claim, $4,821, first half of 2026 (CCC Crash Course 2026 Mid-Year Update). Self-pay jobs average about $1,941. This is an assumption; use your own average. CCC
34.7
6.9
$33,426

Lost revenue is about 187× the Base plan at $179/month.

Break-even: 1 repair order(s) at this value cover a year of Base plus the $795 setup ($2,943).

How we calculate this

40 calls/week × 52 ÷ 12 = 173.3 calls/month; × 20% missed = 34.7; × 20% who would book = 6.9 repair orders; × $4,821 = $33,426. Break-even = ceil(($179 × 12 + $795) ÷ repair order value).

Estimates only, not a guarantee. GoodRinger answers the calls; it can’t promise every caller books.
