Trained on your prices, hours, and services. It answers 24/7, books the customer, and hands you the lead — instead of handing them to the shop down the road. $99/month. First 14 days free.
Somebody calls about an inspection, a tow, a fleet account. The bays are full. What happens next?
This is an actual AnswerBay conversation from our demo shop — a caller booking a Virginia emissions inspection at night, after closing.
Notice what it does: answers from the shop's real prices and hours, repeats the phone number back (speech recognition double-check), and never promises what it can't see. The manager got this lead by text before the caller put their phone down.
Give us your website (or just tell us your hours, prices, and services). AnswerBay builds its knowledge from it in about a minute — you review and correct anything before callers hear it.
We issue a phone number in your area code instantly. Call it yourself and interview your new receptionist before any customer does.
Dial one code — *72 — from your business phone. Your number, signs, and Google listing don't change. Dial *73 any time to undo it. That's the whole install.
It knows the time, your hours, and what's open right now — pumps, store, bays — and answers accordingly.
Collects the name, number, vehicle, and what they need. Confirms details back. Texts your manager instantly.
Complaints, emergencies, "get me a person" — transferred live to the manager's cell, with voicemail as backup.
Repeat callers get greeted by name, with their past requests on hand. Like a counter person with a perfect memory.
Each location gets its own line, hours, prices, and manager. Callers can ask about your other branch. One bill, minutes pooled.
It answers only from the business info you approved. Anything it doesn't know becomes a message — not a made-up answer.
For a single busy location
For chains and high call volume
Every business starts with a free 30-minute trial. No card required. Cancel anytime — forwarding turns off with one dial code.
It says so, and offers to take a message or transfer the call. It only answers from the business profile you approved — it will not invent prices, hours, or promises. You can hear this yourself on the demo line: ask it something obscure.
Yes. It introduces itself as the automated assistant in the greeting. After-hours callers are mostly just glad somebody answered.
Any time. Asking for a person, a complaint, or an emergency gets transferred live to the manager's cell. If nobody picks up, the caller can leave a voicemail and the manager gets the recording.
No. Your published number stays exactly as it is. You forward calls to AnswerBay with one dial code (*72) — forward everything, or only the calls your team doesn't answer. *73 undoes it instantly.
About 60 seconds from the form below: we read your website, build the assistant, and issue your number. Review what it knows in your dashboard, then forward your line whenever you're ready.
Each location gets its own number, hours, prices, and manager contact — and they know about each other, so a caller can ask about your other branch. Minutes pool across the account and you get one bill. Pricing is per location.
Calls are politely declined until the month resets, and you're notified before that happens so you can upgrade if you want. You're never billed for overage automatically.
A lead ticket in your dashboard — caller's name, number, what they wanted, when they want it — plus a written summary of every call. Your manager also gets an instant text for anything that needs action.
Fill this in and your AI receptionist is answering a real phone number in about a minute.
