Stop Losing Roadside Jobs to Whoever Picks Up First
62% of breakdown calls go to whoever picks up first — mobile mechanics with AI capture 4x more emergency jobs.
You're elbow-deep in a timing belt and your phone rings. Currently, you either stop work or lose the job. With AI, every call is answered in 2 rings, triaged for genuine emergencies, and either booked into your calendar or forwarded to you only when it actually matters.
The Reality of Running a Mobile Mechanic Business
You're juggling 47 different tasks per day, half of them admin, none of them billable. Here's what AI takes off your plate.
8 AI Capabilities Built for Mobile Mechanics
Every feature designed for the unique reality of running a service business out of a van.
24/7 Roadside Call Triage
AI answers every roadside breakdown call within 2 rings, captures vehicle details, location, urgency, and either books the job into your calendar or escalates genuine emergencies to your mobile.
Smart Route Optimisation
AI looks at your existing day's schedule, traffic conditions, and the new job location to suggest the best slot — minimising drive time and dead kilometres between jobs.
Live Customer ETA Updates
Automatic SMS updates to waiting customers when you are running late, finishing a job early, or stuck in traffic. No more "where are you?" calls interrupting your work.
Parts Lookup & Confirmation
AI cross-references the vehicle's VIN against your supplier catalogues, confirms part availability and price, and books delivery to your next stop — all before you arrive.
Fleet Contract Intake
Dedicated AI workflow for fleet enquiries that captures fleet size, vehicle types, service expectations, and books a proper sit-down call with you to discuss the contract.
Quote Follow-Up Automation
Sends follow-up SMS or email sequences to every quote you give — 24 hours later, 3 days later, 7 days later — converting forgotten leads into booked jobs.
Service Reminder Campaigns
AI tracks service history for every customer and sends timed reminders for log book services, brake checks, and roadworthy renewals — turning one-off jobs into recurring revenue.
Job Profitability Tracking
AI logs every job's travel time, parts margin, labour hours, and customer payment behaviour — so you know which jobs and which customers are actually making you money.
Built for Every Stage of Mobile Mechanic Business
