What the phone looks like for a Glasgow garage
Glasgow and the wider the Greater Glasgow area has a population of around 1.7 million, built on engineering, healthcare and a large independent retail and trade sector. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a garage working across the West End, Shawlands and Merchant City most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
An MOT expiring on Friday is booked with whoever answers on Thursday, and the price barely matters.
Callwise answers on your own 0141 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.
When Glasgow calls go unanswered

What Glasgow callers want

Glasgow garages ask us
Do we keep our 0141 number?
Yes. Your existing 0141 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Glasgow customers reach you changes.
Do you work with garages outside Glasgow?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Glasgow and everywhere across the Greater Glasgow area is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Our techs are under cars. Who is supposed to answer?
Nobody, which is the problem. Garages have among the worst answer rates of any local business and the calls are all bookable work.
Can it take a registration?
Yes, letter by letter, reading it back to confirm. That alone saves the wrong parts being ordered.
Will it fill the ramp?
It books into whatever slots you make available, so quiet days can be opened up and busy ones protected.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Glasgow customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
