AI Workflow & Back-Office Automation for Auto Repair Shops

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. Our AI SDRs and AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book the moment interest arrives — in under 60 seconds, 24/7 including after-hours and weekends. They use your calendar and your rules, and when a conversation needs a human touch, the call is handed to a real person with full context.","question":"Can an AI answering service really handle auto repair calls while my techs are working in the bays?"},{"answer":"No. Our AI systems work with your existing CRM, helpdesk, phone, and document tools — no platform switch required. Pipeline recovery specifically works with the contacts already in your CRM, turning them back into booked calls.","question":"Do I have to replace my shop management software or CRM to work with Worqd?"},{"answer":"That's exactly what our pipeline recovery service does. Database reactivation reaches out to the old contacts already sitting in your CRM and turns them into booked calls. You only pay for the conversations that come back.","question":"How can I bring back customers who haven't returned for service in a year or more?"},{"answer":"We start by finding the bottleneck in your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data, then build the plan. Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch, while SEO and local SEO compound over months. Pricing is scoped on a free growth call and matched to the results that matter to you.","question":"How long does it take to get leads flowing after signing up?"},{"answer":"Because integrated beats fragmented. With separate vendors for ads, creative, and follow-up, nobody owns the whole path from first click to booked call. Worqd runs all of it with one plan and one report — no vanity metrics — and our AI SDRs deliver a claimed 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70–lower cost per qualified conversation than a traditional SDR team.","question":"Why not just hire another answering service and run my own Google ads?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the Bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We look at your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data to find where growth is stuck — before touching anything."},{"step":"2","title":"Build and Launch Fast","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"We build the plan, then put campaigns, creative, outreach, and AI-powered response into motion — inquiries can start arriving within days."},{"step":"3","title":"Learn, Improve, and Scale","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"We observe lead quality and outcomes, test what matters, drop what doesn't, then widen winning channels and recover missed demand."}],"ctaText":"Book a Growth Call — Fill Your Bays, Not Your Backlog","eyebrow":"AI Growth Partner","benefits":[{"icon":"Phone","title":"Never Miss a Job After Hours Again","gradient":"from-emerald-500 to-teal-500","description":"Our AI receptionist and voice agents answer, qualify, and book the moment a driver calls — evenings, weekends, holidays included.

Every inquiry is qualified in under 60 seconds, so your service advisor starts the day with booked appointments, not a voicemail backlog.","proof_point":"AI SDRs deliver a claimed 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up, at 70–lower cost per qualified conversation than a traditional SDR team."},{"icon":"TrendingUp","title":"Revive the Customers Already in Your CRM","gradient":"from-blue-500 to-purple-500","description":"Most shops sit on years of past customers who never came back for their next oil change, brake job, or seasonal inspection.

Price-shopping drivers don't leave voicemails — they call the next shop down the road. A well-run shop's bays should produce $25,000+ per month in parts and labor, so every unanswered ring is bay utilization you can't get back. After-hours calls — the 9pm check-engine-light caller, the Saturday morning brake-squeal driver — go to whoever answers first.

Add 35.8% of shops struggling to keep overhead low, and every dollar spent on manual follow-up — chasing approvals, re-quoting jobs, calling customers back — is a dollar that can't go toward parts inventory, scan tools for ADAS-equipped vehicles, or keeping your best techs paid."},{"icon":"Users","stat":"23.8%","color":"from-yellow-500 to-green-500","title":"With a Technician Shortage, Wasted Billed Hours Are Unaffordable","description":"23.8% of shops report difficulty finding qualified technicians and 9.6% struggle to retain them (IMR, 2025). Each open bay costs over $60,000 per month in lost parts and service revenue.
