For mobile mechanics
The best AI receptionist
for mobile mechanics.
Convenience premium. But only if the convenience starts with you answering.
A Saturday morning, told straight
A driveway-side timing belt is the easiest £900 your week will see. If you answer.
Tuesday morning. Someone's car won't start. Battery? Starter? Alternator? They don't know. They search "mobile mechanic near me" and start dialling. They're at home, kids need to be at school, and they want it sorted today.
You're under a bonnet on another driveway. Phone's in the van, two metres away, ringing. By the time you climb out, the missed call is twenty seconds old. You ring back and get voicemail. They booked the next mechanic on the list at £180 for the call-out plus the parts.
Foan answers in two seconds. Asks the make, model, registration if they have it, what the car is doing or not doing, where they're parked, what time suits them. Drops the booking into your calendar and texts you the lot. You finish the bonnet you're under, drive twenty minutes, walk in already knowing what kit you'll need.
The trick with mobile work is the convenience premium pays for itself in fewer call-backs. People who book a mobile mechanic want it sorted on the first visit. A clean intake from the call doubles your first-time-fix rate.
Most mobile mechanics we talk to miss 4–8 calls a week and the average ticket is £200–£900. Even three at £200 is £2,400 a month walking past your van. Foan costs £49.
Same pattern works for batteries, brakes, clutch jobs, pre-purchase inspections, and the fleet call-outs that pay weekly.
