Auto Repair: Keep the Bays Full, Get Estimates Approved by Text, and Bring Every Customer Back on Schedule
An empty bay earns nothing, and a car stuck on a lift waiting for an estimate approval blocks the next job. Your service advisor calls the customer, hits voicemail, and the vehicle sits while the parts window closes. Multiply that by four lifts and the day is gone.
The phone is its own problem. It rings while the advisor is at the counter with a customer, while parts is on the other line, while a tech needs an answer. Every missed call is either a tow headed to another shop or a regular who now feels ignored.
LeadPro gives your shop the follow-through the dealer groups pay whole departments for. Missed calls get texted back in seconds. Estimates go out by text for one-tap approval, so the car comes off the lift. Declined work gets a follow-up in thirty days. And every customer gets a reminder when the next oil change or inspection is due. Your advisor gets to be an advisor again.
The problems LeadPro solves for auto repair shops
Cars stuck on lifts waiting for approvals
Phone-tag approvals stall your whole workflow. Texted estimates get answered in minutes, so techs keep wrenching and bays keep turning.
Declined work that never gets a second chance
Customers decline brakes today and forget by Friday. LeadPro follows up automatically in a few weeks, turning deferred repairs into booked appointments.
Calls missed at the busiest moments
The phone always rings when the counter is three deep. Instant text-back keeps that caller from dialing the shop down the street.
How auto repair shops use LeadPro
Missed-Call Text-Back
When your advisor is mid-checkout, LeadPro texts missed callers right away. A customer with a dead alternator books with the shop that responds first.
CRM & Pipeline
Every vehicle and owner has a full history: visits, estimates, declined services, and notes. When the customer calls back, anyone at the counter knows the story.
Email & SMS Marketing
Oil change reminders, state inspection notices, and seasonal tire campaigns go out automatically. Steady reminders keep your regulars off the quick-lube path.
Appointments
Customers book drop-offs online instead of calling. Reminder texts cut the morning no-shows that leave a bay idle until lunch.
Reputation Management
Trust decides where people take their cars. A review request after every pickup builds the Google profile that wins "mechanic near me" searches.
Have questions? We have answers.
Can LeadPro send service reminders based on time since last visit?
Yes. Set reminders by interval, such as 5 months after an oil change or 11 months after an inspection. Each reminder includes a booking link so the customer can schedule instantly.
Can I follow up on declined or deferred repairs?
Yes. Tag declined services at checkout, and LeadPro sends a follow-up text after the interval you choose. Recovered declined work is often the easiest revenue a shop adds.
Can customers approve estimates by text?
You can text estimates and collect replies in LeadPro, with the whole exchange saved to the customer record. That paper trail protects you when memories differ.
Does LeadPro replace my shop management system?
No. Keep your shop management software for repair orders and parts. LeadPro handles the customer side: calls, texts, reminders, reviews, and marketing.
How much does LeadPro cost for an auto repair shop?
LeadPro is $297 per month with unlimited users so advisors and managers share one system. There is no setup fee on the standard build.
