23 Extra MOT Bookings in Month One

How a 2-person garage answered every call and added £920 in revenue

AutoFix Telford
📍 Telford, Shropshire
👥 2-person team
🔧 Independent MOT station with 3 bays

The Problem

Mark runs AutoFix with his brother. Three MOT bays, constant work. They're good at fixing cars. They're terrible at answering phones.

When customers call during busy times (peak hours), they hit voicemail. Some people call back. Most don't. The garage misses bookings.

"We were losing calls we didn't even know about," Mark said. "Customers would call, get no answer, then book at another garage instead."

❌ Before BayAssist
Calls during work → voicemail
Manual call-back required
Lost bookings (no data)
Team constantly interrupted
Weekend calls missed
✅ After BayAssist
AI answers instantly
MOTs booked automatically
SMS confirmations sent
Team stays focused
24/7 booking capability

The Solution

Mark installed BayAssist in one day. Setup took about 2 hours. From then on, every call was answered.

Here's what changed:

1. Calls are answered instantly. When a customer calls, our AI receptionist (the AI) picks up. No hold queue. No voicemail. Just a natural conversation.

2. MOTs are booked directly. our AI receptionist checks available slots, confirms the date/time, and records the booking.

3. Confirmations are automatic. Customer gets an SMS with the booking details and a link to reschedule or cancel.

4. No manual data entry. Bookings sync directly to the calendar. Mark sees everything in real-time.

"The problem wasn't getting calls. It was that I couldn't answer them all. BayAssist solved that in a day. 23 extra bookings in month one. That's not a guess—that's what we measured."
