After-Hours Call Answering Built for Import Auto Specialists

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Your phone lines are connected to one response system that answers inbound calls 24/7/365 — nights, weekends, holidays, and peak season. Nothing goes to voicemail. The AI answers your approved FAQs, captures lead details, qualifies the caller, and can book an appointment straight into your calendar.","question":"How does after-hours call answering work for an import auto repair shop?"},{"answer":"Yes — callers always know they're talking to AI. Honest disclosure is a feature, not something hidden. Every caller can also reach a human, use text, or book online, so no one is ever stuck talking to a machine they didn't consent to.","question":"Will customers know they're talking to an AI, not a service advisor?"},{"answer":"Yes. Business texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), and consent and telemarketing quiet-hours laws are followed. Opt-outs are honored immediately and automatically, and the booking flow collects explicit consent.","question":"Is the texting compliant with US carrier rules?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call to settle your plan. From there, your lead sources — phone lines, website forms, ads, chat, and referrals — are connected, your response rules are set, and everything runs automatically. It's done-for-you; you don't manage anything day to day.","question":"How long does setup take and what does it involve?"},{"answer":"A receptionist costs $35,000-$50,000+ per year and still leaves nights and weekends uncovered. CallMyLeads answers 24/7/365 for per-minute pricing starting at 21¢/min with no seats or minimums — and the Managed plan at 14¢/min plus from $149/mo is the most popular. Equivalent human coverage would take at least two full-time hires; this costs a fraction of one salary.","question":"How does this compare to hiring a part-time receptionist or using an answering service?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect your lead sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Your phone lines, website forms, ads, chat, and referral sources get joined to one response system in a free ~15-minute scoping call."},{"step":"2","title":"Set your response rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"You decide the first message, qualification questions, what counts as a qualified import repair lead, and when to route to your team."},{"step":"3","title":"Calls answered and booked","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"After-hours callers get an instant response, get qualified, and book appointments with confirmations and reminders — automatically."}],"ctaText":"Stop paying for leads you never get to talk to — get every after-hours call answered and booked in seconds, 24/7/365.
