BILINGUAL ON EVERY CALL

Your service writers can't be at the counter and on the phone.

When the counter is busy, the phone rings out. Every unanswered call is a service appointment, a repair, or a tire sale that books with the shop down the road instead.

And half the calls aren't even new work — they're "is my car ready?" Swiftlee answers every call live, books the appointment, handles the status check, and only interrupts your team when it truly matters.

23%
average unanswered-call rate in the automotive industry (source: Invoca platform data) — every miss is a booking lost to the shop down the road.

Swiftlee answers every call live, books the appointment, and fields status checks — in English and Spanish.
How we handle your calls

Built for the way a shop phone actually rings.

New appointments, status checks, estimate questions, tow-ins. We sort them, handle what we can, and pass your team only what needs them.

🗓

Appointment booking

We book service appointments straight onto your schedule — year, make, model, the concern, and drop-off vs. wait. Your bays stay full without anyone leaving the counter.

🔎

"Is my car ready?" status calls

The calls that eat your writers' day. We field them on your script, take a message for the writer, and let your team focus on the cars in front of them.

💬

Estimate & quote intake

Caller wants a price? We capture the vehicle and the work so your writer can call back with a real number — instead of playing phone tag from a voicemail.

🌐

Bilingual answering

A huge share of auto customers prefer Spanish. We answer, book, and take messages in either language — naturally, on the same script.

FAQ

Auto answering, answered.

Can Swiftlee book service appointments and answer status calls for my shop?

Yes. We follow your script to schedule service appointments and take vehicle and contact details, and we can handle routine status questions per your rules. Each call is delivered to you with a recording and summary in your portal.

Are calls answered in Spanish as well as English?

Yes. Every receptionist is bilingual. Calls start in English and switch to Spanish whenever a caller prefers it, so Spanish-speaking customers can book and check in without a language barrier.

Does the service answer after my shop closes?

Yes. Swiftlee answers 24/7, so after-hours callers reach a real answer instead of voicemail. Appointment requests and messages are waiting for you when you open.

Do I keep my shop's phone number?

Yes. You forward your existing line to the Swiftlee number we provision, or we can give you a new local or toll-free number if you prefer.
