24/7 AI Receptionist for Irish Garages: Boost Bookings

4 min readBy CloudSign Team

In the fast-paced world of Irish auto repair, garages often juggle wrench work with phone duties. Missed calls after hours mean lost bookings for MOTs, services, and repairs. Josie.ie changes that with its 24/7 AI receptionist, designed to capture every lead and skyrocket revenue for Irish garages.

Why Irish Garages Can't Afford Missed Calls

Irish roads are busy, and so are garages. Customers call for quick oil changes or urgent tyre fixes, often outside 9-5 hours. A single missed call can cost €100-€500 in lost revenue.

Statistics show small businesses lose up to 20% of potential customers to unanswered phones. For garages, peak times like evenings and weekends amplify this issue.

  • Evening breakdowns lead to competitor bookings.
  • Weekend MOT demands go unheard.
  • Busy days mean ringing phones ignored.

Josie.ie eliminates this gap. Read how it never misses calls for Irish businesses.
