Lead Qualification & Scoring for Transmission Repair Shops

{"faqs":[{"answer":"You set the qualification questions and what counts as qualified — for example, vehicle make, symptoms, whether they need a transmission diagnostic test or a full overhaul, and their timeline. The AI asks those questions on every lead, scores each one automatically, and routes hot leads straight to your team. You control the rules; the system just runs them.","question":"How does CallMyLeads decide which transmission leads are worth my service writer's time?"},{"answer":"The call gets answered — 24/7/365, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Nothing goes to voicemail. The AI captures the lead, answers approved FAQs, and can book a diagnostic appointment right away. If a call is missed for any reason, an instant text-back goes out with an offer to book.","question":"What happens when a customer calls at 9pm about a grinding noise or a slipping transmission?"},{"answer":"Yes, and it's handled for you. CallMyLeads is registered for business texting under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), follows consent and telemarketing quiet-hours laws, and honors opt-outs immediately and automatically. Callers always know they're talking to AI — clear disclosure is a feature, not something hidden — and every caller can reach a human, use text, or book online.","question":"Is it legal for an AI to answer my shop's calls and text my customers?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call to settle the plan. Then your lead sources are connected, your response rules are set, and everything runs automatically into your existing CRM and calendar. It's done-for-you — you don't hire, train, or manage anything.","question":"How long does setup take and what do I have to do?"},{"answer":"Equivalent human coverage would take at least two full-time hires; CallMyLeads costs a fraction of one salary. Plans are metered per minute with no seats, minimums, or contract — 21¢/min on Metered, 14¢/min plus from $149/mo on Managed, or 9¢/min at 2,000+ minutes on Bulk. Only minutes actually handling leads are billed; screened spam and robocalls never cost you anything.","question":"How does per-minute pricing compare to hiring an after-hours answering service or another service writer?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Lead Sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Your website forms, ads, phone lines, chat, and referral sources all join one response system.
