Auto Repair Shops + Tekmetric
The AI receptionist for auto repair shops that writes straight into Tekmetric.
You're elbow-deep in a gearbox. The next $5k job is on hold.
How it works
Foan plugs into Tekmetric so every call becomes structured data in the system you already use. No re-typing, no copy-paste, no "I'll add it later."
Why auto repair shops miss calls.
Engine and transmission jobs are big. But they need same-day quotes.
A guy's check engine light came on this morning. He doesn't know if it's a $200 sensor or a $4,000 transmission. He's calling shops to find one that'll take him today, because he uses the truck for work.
You're under a hood. Your service writer is on another line. He goes to voicemail on your number and rings the next shop. They book him in for 2pm. He's loyal to the shop that picked up. You don't see him for the next decade of repairs.
Foan answers in two seconds. Asks for the make, model, year, what the symptoms are (rough idle, loss of power, weird smell), whether he can drop it off or needs a tow. Books him into your diagnostics slot at 2pm. Texts you the symptoms so you can think about it before he arrives.
What you get on day one.
-
Every call answered in two seconds. No queue, no missed-call voicemails, no "we'll get back to you tomorrow".
-
Calls flow into Tekmetric automatically. No copy-paste from notepad. Whatever Tekmetric expects, Foan writes.
-
UK phone number included. Take a new line or forward your existing business number. Either way, Foan picks up.
-
Text or WhatsApp the second the call ends. You're on a job, you don't pick up — Foan does the work and tells you what was said.
Ready in 10 minutes.
Plans from £199/mo. Cancel any time. Number forwarding works on the existing line you already pay for.
Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for auto repair shops using Tekmetric?
Yes. Engine and transmission jobs are big. But they need same-day quotes. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a auto repair shop would ask, and writes the outcome into your Tekmetric automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + Tekmetric compare to hiring a receptionist?
A part-time receptionist costs around £1,800/mo and only covers business hours. Foan picks up 24/7 in two seconds, never misses a call during peak, and starts at £199/mo. Everything ends up in Tekmetric the same way a human assistant would log it — except instantly and without typos.
What if a caller asks a question Foan doesn't know the answer to?
Foan is configured with your business hours, services, prices and FAQs the moment it's set up — we scan your website automatically. For anything genuinely unknown, the agent admits it doesn't know, takes the caller's contact details, and pings you so you can ring back. Better than voicemail, every time.
How quickly can I get this live with Tekmetric?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect Tekmetric via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
