The Problem

 
## You cannot stop what you are doing for every call. Your competitors can.

 
Auto repair shops are busy. You are under a car, on a test drive, or with a customer. Calls come in all day - appointment requests, quote inquiries, status updates on vehicles in the shop. Every one you miss is a potential customer who called the next shop on Google and booked there instead.

Built for Auto Shop Calls

 
## The calls a repair shop actually gets.

 
An auto shop phone spikes exactly when the bays are full. Independent shops lose about $108,000 a year to missed calls, and most of them come in a rush nobody can staff for.

 

 


### The Monday morning rush

Shops miss 30-50% of calls during the Monday rush, when the phone and the bays are both slammed. The agent answers every one, books the appointment or drop-off, and captures the vehicle and the issue, so a full bay does not cost you the next job.


### Vehicle and issue capture

A caller describing a noise, a warning light, or a dead battery gets the year, make, model, and symptom captured cleanly, so the ticket is ready before the car arrives and the service writer is not starting from scratch.


### Price and estimate shoppers

Someone calling three shops wants a rough number and the soonest opening. Answered and booked on the call, that shopper becomes a customer instead of driving to whoever picked up first.


### Existing customers

Reschedules, status checks, and pickup questions are handled and logged without pulling a service writer off the counter, and anything that needs a person is routed by your rules.


 

 
Works With Your Software

 
## Connects to your shop management system.

 
A repair shop runs on its management system, from the ticket to the invoice, and a phone call should feed it, not sit on a sticky note. dolfyn connects to platforms that offer an open API on your plan, so booked jobs, new leads, and call details land in the system your team already uses instead of a separate inbox. Common ones here include Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, Shop-Ware, Mitchell 1, and AutoLeap. If your platform only opens its API through its own partner program, we tell you what is possible before you go live, so you know exactly what connects.

Our take

 
Most calls to a shop are someone trying to get their car in: a noise, a warning light, a service that is due, or a car that will not start and needs a tow. The detail that has to be right is the vehicle itself, the year, make, and model, because the wrong vehicle means the wrong parts and time booked. A generic agent takes a name and a number. A system built for a shop gets the vehicle and the reported problem, books the appointment or the drop-off, and flags the urgent ones, like a no-start, so they do not sit until Monday. The real win is the ticket being ready before the car rolls in.


## Frequently asked questions

 
### Can it book appointments and drop-offs?

 
Yes. It books appointments and drop-offs, captures the vehicle and the reported issue, and logs it so the ticket is ready before the car arrives. Anything it should not quote is routed to your team.

 
### Can it handle the Monday morning rush?

 
That is where it helps most. Shops miss 30-50% of calls during the Monday rush; the agent answers every one at once, so a full bay does not cost you the next booking.

 
### How much does an AI receptionist cost for an auto shop?

 
dolfyn starts at $179/month, priced to your call volume before you go live. That is far less than a part-time front-desk hire, and it answers after hours and through the rush.

 
### Does it work with my shop management software?

 
It connects to shop systems with an open API on your plan, such as Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, or Mitchell 1, and logs the vehicle, service, and appointment into it. If yours opens its API only through a partner program, we tell you what is possible first.
