Call the demo: (615) 622-7392
You can't answer the phone from under a lift.
Every call that hits the shop voicemail while you're under a car is a customer calling the next shop. Answered Line answers every call to your shop in one ring, gets the vehicle and the symptom, books the drop-off, quotes what you allow it to quote, and texts you what happened.
Don't take our word for it. Call it and try to stump it.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you. Then decide.$97/mo for your first 90 days, setup free, then $297. In return: a short testimonial, a 30-second phone video, and a Google review once it's booked you a job. After the three spots, the next seven get setup waived at $297.
What changes the day it goes live
You keep your number
Forward your existing line in two minutes. Your customers, your truck, your Google listing — nothing changes for them. Nothing goes to voicemail.
Lower cost than any other way to answer
$297 a month, flat, line included. A human answering service runs $235–$325 and bills by the minute. A part-time receptionist is $1,300–$1,800. Nobody else books the job and texts you the summary.
You walk into every call already knowing the job
Name, address, what they need, when — texted to you seconds after the call. You call back prepared, not guessing.
Your time comes back
No more stopping the job to answer, no more evenings returning voicemails. The phone gets handled; you do the work you get paid for.
The calls a shop actually gets
Independent shops lose more to the phone than to the competitor down the street. The tech is under a car, the service writer is with a customer, and the new customer is on hold or on voicemail.
"My check engine light is on, can you look at it today?"
Captures year/make/model, symptom, and when they can drop it; books the slot or promises a callback.
"Is my car ready?"
Recognizes existing customers and routes status calls to the office or takes a message by your rules.
"How much for brakes on a 2019 F-150?"
Answers from your pricing rule — a range, a diagnostic fee, or a callback — your call.
Parts vendors and warranty companies
Known contacts get through; solicitors get screened to email.
What it does on every call
Answers in one ring, 24/7
Nights, weekends, while you're under a lift. Nobody gets voicemail.

Books appointments
Straight into your calendar, in the hours you set, with a confirmation text to the caller.
Texts you the summary
Name, number, address, what they wanted — seconds after the call ends.

Keeps your number
Forward your existing line in two minutes, or use ours as your business line.
What a missed call actually costs
Only about 38% of calls to small businesses get answered by a person. Of the callers who hit voicemail, most hang up without a message, 85% never call back, and 62% call a competitor next. Run your own numbers:
What the alternatives cost
| Option | Monthly | What you actually get |
|---|---|---|
| A business phone line | $25–$35 | A number. It still rings to voicemail when you're on a ladder. |
| Answering service (human) | $235–$325+, billed per minute | A stranger reads a script, takes a message. No booking, no texting the caller, overage every busy month. |
| Part-time receptionist | $1,300–$1,800 | 20 hours a week. Nights, weekends, and lunch still go to voicemail. |
| Full-time receptionist | $4,000–$5,300 | Business hours only, plus payroll, benefits, sick days. |
| Answered Line | $297 | The line, 24/7 voice and text answering, booking, transfers, call summaries — in your own voice if you want. |

Do I have to change my number?
No. Forward your existing number to your Answered Line number — two minutes with any carrier.
Is there a contract?
No. Month to month, cancel anytime.
