Mobile mechanics in Portsmouth

What the phone looks like for a Portsmouth mobile mechanic

Portsmouth and the wider Hampshire has a population of around 550,000, built on defence, maritime and a dense terraced housing stock. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a mobile mechanic working across Southsea, Fratton and Cosham most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.

A car that will not start is stopping somebody getting to work, and they will ring three mechanics before breakfast.

Callwise answers on your own 023 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.

Questions

Portsmouth mobile mechanics ask us

Do we keep our 023 number?

Yes. Your existing 023 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 Portsmouth customers reach you changes.

Do you work with mobile mechanics outside Portsmouth?

Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Portsmouth and everywhere across Hampshire 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.

I work alone. Does this actually help?

It is the clearest case for it. A one man operation misses every call made during working hours, which is when almost all of them are made.

Can it check we cover an area?

Yes. You give it your radius and it turns down anything outside it politely rather than you driving to find out.

Will it take symptoms properly?

It asks your diagnostic questions and writes the answers down, so you turn up with the right parts.

Hear it answer, then decide

Ring it and ask what a Portsmouth 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.
