For MOT garages
The best AI receptionist
for MOT garages.
You're under a car, your phone rings. The caller wants an MOT slot tomorrow. They'll book wherever picks up.
A Saturday morning, told straight
MOT-due drivers ring three garages at lunch. The first to answer wins.
It's a Wednesday at midday. Someone's MOT runs out on Friday. They've left it late. They open Google Maps, find three garages within five miles, and start calling.
You're under a car. Your hands are oily. The phone rings out. They try the next garage. Voicemail. Third garage answers, books them in for Friday morning. The MOT is £45. The retest is £35. The rear suspension bushes the tester finds add another £180. Plus they're now that garage's customer for the brake service due in three months.
You lost the £45 booking. You also lost the £215 of work that came with it. You also lost the next service. Add it up over a year and one missed lunchtime call costs serious money.
Foan picks up on the first ring. Asks for the make, model, registration. Checks your diary. Books them in. Confirms the MOT fee, takes their number, sends you a Slack ping... Actually, sends you a text or email. Your pick. The second they hang up.
Garages typically miss 5–10 MOT-window calls a week at lunchtime. Average ticket including any work that follows: £180. That's £3,600 a month walking past your ramp. Foan costs £49.
Works the same for service intervals, brake jobs, tyres, and emergency 'won't start' calls.
