What the phone looks like for a Nottingham garage
Nottingham and the wider Nottinghamshire has a population of around 800,000, built on healthcare, retail and two universities driving a large rental market. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a garage working across West Bridgford, Beeston and Sherwood 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 0115 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 Nottingham calls go unanswered

What Nottingham callers want

Nottingham garages ask us
Do we keep our 0115 number?
Yes. Your existing 0115 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 Nottingham customers reach you changes.
Do you work with garages outside Nottingham?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Nottingham and everywhere across Nottinghamshire 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.
Garages and MOT centres elsewhere
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Nottingham 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.
