Your techs are under a car, not by the phone.

Nicole answers your Detroit line on the first ring, in your business name, and asks the questions you would ask — what the problem is, where in Metro Detroit the property is, whether it is urgent, and when they are available. Typical calls she handles for a auto repair shop include estimate requests, service appointment bookings, status checks on vehicles in the bay, tow-in and breakdown calls.
