The phone answered, around the clock

The phone rings while your team is under a car. Nobody answers. That was a booking.

BayAssist answers every call, books the job into your diary, and runs the workshop behind it. Keep your number, keep your kit, stop missing calls.

Do the one thing no video can fake: ring it right now and talk to it like a customer. Give it a reg. Book an MOT. Hear it read the booking back before it confirms.

The proof you can check yourself

761 of 771 inbound calls answered

At a real Telford garage, in its first four weeks live, it answered 761 of 771 inbound calls and handed the rest straight to the workshop.

28 June to 23 July 2026. One garage. Real calls. Do not take a number off a web page: ring 01952 767 010 and hear it for yourself.

The call you never knew you missed

A normal Tuesday

Both ramps are full. One lad is on an MOT, the other is elbow deep in a timing belt, and you are on the phone to a parts factor. The workshop phone rings. Four times, then five, then it stops. Nobody was free. Nobody wrote it down. Nobody even registered that it happened.

That call was a bloke whose MOT is due Friday. He tried you first because you did his brakes last year. You did not answer, so he rang the garage on the next street, and they booked him in. You will never know you lost him, because to you the phone did not ring at all.

You cannot fix it by hiring someone to sit and wait for the phone. The calls come in a rush when you are flat out, and one at a time when you are shut. There is no shift pattern that catches them. That is exactly the job a machine should do.

The same Tuesday, with BayAssist

This time it gets answered on the second ring

The customer says his MOT is due. It asks for his reg, looks the car up on the DVSA record while he is still talking, tells him it is due Friday, and offers him a slot. He takes half nine. It reads the reg back letter by letter, reads the whole booking back, waits for his yes, and drops the job straight into your diary.

You did not touch the phone. You did not lose the job you were concentrating on. And when you look at the board at lunchtime, Friday half nine has a car in it that you would otherwise never have known wanted booking.

A receptionist

Answers every call in a natural voice, day or night, even when every bay is full.

A diary that fills itself

Phone, online and walk-in, all in one place, holding four kinds of job.

The workshop behind it

Bays, hours, job sheets, invoices, reminders. The call becomes a job sheet becomes an invoice.

What happens on a single call

The whole day, run behind the phone

1

It answers, every time

An AI receptionist picks up and holds a real conversation. No menu, no press one. It asks what they need and books it, around the clock, including after you have gone home.

2

It looks the car up live

Give it the registration and it pulls the car off the DVSA record on the call: make, model, colour, MOT due date, last time's advisories. The booking is right because the government record filled it in.

3

It reads the reg back

In the phonetic alphabet, letter by letter, then the whole booking back, and it waits for a yes. A misheard reg or wrong slot is caught on the call, not found on the ramp two days later.

4

One diary, no clashes

Phone, online and walk-in all feed the same diary. Nothing to reconcile. And a bay cannot be double-booked, because the diary refuses the clash at the moment of booking.

5

Four kinds of job

An MOT, a service, an MOT and service together as one job, or a diagnostic and the repair behind it. A combined job will not book unless the day can hold both halves.

6

The board tells the truth

Every job sized to how long it really takes, so one glance shows if the afternoon is full. A job waiting on a part parks in its own lane, off the clock, until the part lands.

7

The car is the record

History hangs off the registration, not the owner. Advisories and past MOTs stay with the car, so when it is sold the story goes with it and the new owner is tracked separately.

8

A cancelled slot heals itself

Cancel or mark a no-show and the slot is free again instantly. No manual tidying, no ghost bookings blocking an empty ramp.

9

It knows your regulars

A returning customer is greeted by name, with their booking read back, because the lookup already handed it their details. No regular spells their reg to a machine that should know them.

10

A walkaround video

Record a short walkaround, show the worn tyre or split boot, and send a link. They authorise the work having seen it. The link expires and the video deletes itself after seven days.

11

It keeps talking to them

Confirmation in seconds, a reminder the day before, an MOT reminder next year that rebooks the diary, and a car's-ready text at collection. One number, one clean thread.

12

It brings work back

Every MOT throws up advisories. It keeps them against the car and chases the ones you choose, with a text from your garage, before the work is due.

13

Invoicing and a site you own

Raise the invoice off the booking, tick the VAT lines, finalise, print at handover. And we build you a website you own, on your own domain, not rented back to you.

The part nobody puts a number on

You cannot count the calls you never heard

A busy independent misses a meaningful share of its inbound calls, just because everyone is on the tools, and a slice of those callers are ready to book. Every one is money that walked to someone else, quietly, with no record of it happening.

Work out what a single booked job is worth to you, then work out how many you might be missing in a week. The maths tends to get uncomfortable quickly. This stops it, not by working harder on the phones, but by answering the calls you were always going to miss and turning them into jobs on the board.

Keep your number, keep your system

It bolts onto what you already run

You keep your phone number, you keep the way you work, and nothing gets ripped out. It sits on top of your existing line and catches the calls you miss. It adds the receptionist and the diary without taking anything away.

Questions

Do I have to change my number or my system?

No. You keep both. It sits on your existing line and answers the calls you miss.

What happens when it cannot handle a call?

It hands the call to you or takes a message. It is a safety net on the calls that would otherwise ring out, not a barrier in front of your customers.

What if it books something wrong?

It reads the reg back in the phonetic alphabet and reads the whole booking back before it confirms, so mistakes are caught on the call. And it cannot double-book a bay.

Does it only do MOTs?

No. MOTs, services, combined MOT and service as one job, and diagnostics and repairs.
