They call, it rings out, and they pull into the next shop on the way. LeadTap texts every missed caller back in under a minute, in your name, while you're still under a car.
A driver's check-engine light comes on during the morning commute. They call the first shop they find.
You're under a car with both hands busy. It rings out. Voicemail.
They pull into the next shop on their route. That repair, and every oil change after it, goes there now.
Drivers with a warning light want an answer today. The shop that responds first usually gets the car in the bay.
Two findings that decide whether the repair is yours.
Lower odds of reaching a lead at 30 minutes than at 5.
Waiting until you're out from under a car to call back isn't a delay. It's a different outcome.

Leave for a competitor after more than one bad experience.
It isn't only new callers. Your repeat customers checking on their car are judging you by how fast you answer, too.

At just 3 missed calls a week, an auto shop is leaving an estimated $38,000+ a year on the table. LeadTap Starter is $97 a month. One recovered repair pays for more than 5 months of it.
Estimate: 3 missed calls a week × 52 weeks × $554 (national average check-engine repair, CarMD Vehicle Health Index, 2026) × a 45% assumed book rate (a LeadTap assumption, not a published figure), rounded down. Excludes routine maintenance and repeat customers. Your actual numbers depend on your call volume, close rate and ticket mix, and we're happy to run this with your real figures instead of ours.
In your business name, apologizing for the miss and asking what they need. They're still holding the phone.
A car that won't start versus an oil change next week, sorted and pushed to your phone so you know what can't wait.
