AI Reception & Booking for Auto Body & Collision

{"faqs":[{"answer":"The call is answered by AI reception 24/7/365 — but if a call is somehow missed, instant text-back kicks in automatically. The caller gets a text within seconds offering a callback or an online booking option, so the estimate conversation keeps going even when your hands are full in the booth.","question":"What happens when a customer calls my auto body shop while we're mid-repair and can't pick up?"},{"answer":"Yes — using your approved FAQs. You set the response rules during setup: what questions the AI answers, what counts as a qualified lead, and when a call routes straight to your team. You control exactly what's said, and callers can always reach a human.","question":"Can the AI answer questions about collision repair estimates and insurance?"},{"answer":"Yes. Business texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), consent and telemarketing quiet-hours laws are followed, and opt-outs are honored immediately and automatically. The booking flow also collects explicit consent before anything is scheduled.","question":"Does the texting comply with US carrier and telemarketing rules?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call to settle your plan. From there, we connect your lead sources — phone lines, forms, ads, chat — and set your response rules. Setup is done-for-you with a one-time flat fee quoted upfront, and it's waived on annual plans.","question":"How long does it take to get set up for my shop?"},{"answer":"Equivalent always-on human coverage would take at least two full-time hires — CallMyLeads costs a fraction of one salary. Unlike a typical answering service, every lead is answered in seconds, qualified and scored automatically, booked into your CRM and calendar with reminders, and nurtured until they book. Pricing is per-minute with no seats, no contract, and cancel anytime — and screened spam and robocalls are never billed.","question":"How is this different from hiring a receptionist or an answering service?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Lead Sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"In a free ~15-minute scoping call, we connect your phone lines, website forms, ads, chat, and referral sources to one response system — with a flat setup fee quoted upfront."},{"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 repair lead, and when a call routes to your team.
