ST-01 · THE TERMS

Installation

We install it. It costs nothing.

Declined work is the revenue you already earned. Installation is free. You get 15 hours of dedicated installation support with it, to be used within 8 days of purchase. It is an allowance of hours, not 8 days of open-ended help, so book the time in and spend it. When the 15 hours are spent, or the 8 days are up, anything further is quoted before it is started and billed as work. Nothing lands on an invoice unannounced.

Installing the snapshot into the sub-account, with the QA pass and the walkthrough
Rebranding the website: your client’s name, colours, logo, domain and booking links
A2P 10DLC registration and setup, opt-in wording checked before it is filed
Email service setup: domain email integrated in HighLevel and the sending domain authenticated
Creating a few more automations where the build needs them, and retuning the ones in it

Never in the hours, on any build: third-party integrations, third-party api work, custom software development. Those are commissioned separately and quoted before a spark is struck.

ST-02 · THE NINE

What lands in the sub-account

Nine pieces, forged for auto repair garage.

One list, not two. Every build carries the same nine pieces, and every part we deliver is stamped into the piece it belongs to and described once. Open a part to see what it fixes for a auto repair garage, what changes, and how it pays back. There are no quantities on it: what is in the build is stated, not counted.

  1. CATCHThe lead arrives and is answered
  2. HEATCold and quiet contacts brought back up
  3. STRIKEThe booking held and protected
  4. QUENCHThe finished job set as public proof
  5. TEMPERThe client kept, for years not weeks

Professional Website

One page per repair type, copy already written, a form that takes the registration before it takes the name, and live bay availability under each service.

  • A page per repair type
  • Vehicle capture on the form
  • Bay calendar embedded

STAMPED FROM

AI Studio websiteA written site, registration first
The gap
Most independent garages run a site a nephew built a decade ago. It loads slowly, it says nothing about a cambelt, and it cannot take a booking.
After the strike
AI Studio ships a written site: a page for every job on the ramp, a form that asks for the plate before the owner's name, and the diary embedded.
What it pays back
Say a local web build runs $2,800 and six weeks of chasing copy out of your client. Fold it into the install fee and the hand-off looks better on the invoice.
FunnelsFleet account page and seasonal tyres
The gap
Your client burns ad budget on a homepage. Someone searching 'brake noise near me' at nine at night lands on an opening hours table and leaves.
After the strike
The build lands with pages for the way a garage actually sells: a service booking page, a diagnostic special, a fleet account enquiry, tyres and brakes, and referrals.
What it pays back
One fleet account with eight vans on a service schedule is worth more per year than a hundred retail bookings. Assume $600 a van annually and do the arithmetic.
Forms and surveysWhat the parts desk needs first
The gap
A booking taken without a registration means the parts desk guesses. The wrong pads arrive Thursday, the customer is rescheduled, and the bay sits empty on Friday.
After the strike
The intake form takes the plate, the reading on the clock, the symptom and when it started. The authorisation carries the insurer wording before anyone moves the vehicle.
What it pays back
Assume the wrong pads mean a lost ramp hour and a $40 courier run. Twice a month and the intake form has covered the whole install by spring.
02CATCH

AI Receptionist

Answers while the advisor is still under a bonnet. Sorts a breakdown from a booked service and offers only a slot the bay diary can actually honour.

  • Breakdown vs booked service
  • Books real bay availability
  • English and Spanish

STAMPED FROM

1 AI ReceptionistNight calls your client never hears
The gap
Your client's garage misses calls all day. A stranded driver at seven in the evening does not leave a message; they ring the next name on the map.
After the strike
Voice AI holds the line around the clock. It separates a tow-in from a booked service, takes the registration, and puts the job where the diary has room.
What it pays back
On a $450 average ticket, three missed calls a week is real money walking. Recover one and the sub-account has paid for the month before the first invoice clears.
03CATCH

AI Chatbot

Collects make, model and symptom on the site or on Facebook, then answers the today-or-not question against the real diary instead of promising a slot that has gone.

  • Make, model, symptom
  • Honest same-day answer
  • Web, SMS, FB, Instagram

STAMPED FROM

1 AI ChatbotPlate and symptom, straight from Facebook
The gap
Facebook Messenger fills with 'how much for a timing belt' and no vehicle attached. Your client's advisor answers each one by hand, two days late.
After the strike
Text AI works the widget, SMS, Facebook and Instagram at once. It pulls the plate and the symptom, gives a price band, and lands the diagnostic booking.
What it pays back
Assume a diagnostic bills at $110 and half your client's enquiries land after the shutters are down. Two of those a week booked overnight is a bay filled every Monday.
04HEAT

AI Outbound Caller

Ninety days after a customer declined work, it calls and names the exact item they turned down. Nothing else in the shop pays as well per call.

  • Declined work at 90 days
  • Missed booking callback
  • Voicemail with a booking link

Runs on Workflows and Nurture campaign, described once where they are stamped rather than twice here.

05STRIKE

Smart Appointment System

Confirms the drop-off, texts the moment the vehicle is ready, and refills a no-show bay before the morning is gone.

  • 24h, 1h and 15min ladder
  • Ready-for-collection text
  • Recovery call inside 60 min

STAMPED FROM

Appointment reminders, confirmations and no-show recoveryDrop-off confirmed, collection texted, no-show chased
The gap
A no-show at eight in the morning wrecks the whole day on the floor. Parts ordered, technician idle, and the bay cannot be sold at short notice.
After the strike
Booking confirms instantly with the drop-off slot. The ladder runs at a day, an hour and a quarter hour. A miss gets a recovery call inside the hour.
What it pays back
Tuned to a 70% no-show recovery target. On four missed bookings a week at a $450 ticket, the recovered work alone justifies what your client pays you monthly.
06QUENCH

Review Automation

Counting is by plate rather than by person, so a two-car household gets one ask and a fleet account gets one a year instead of one per service.

  • Tracked by vehicle
  • Two follow-ups, then stop
  • Fleet capped yearly

STAMPED FROM

Review automationHeld until the invoice clears
The gap
Nobody at the counter remembers to ask. The customer who was delighted with a same-day repair drives off and the map listing stays where it was.
After the strike
The request waits for collection and a settled invoice, follows up briefly, then stops. A vehicle back for the same fault is held out of the run entirely.
What it pays back
Assume a strong local profile wins your client one extra caller a week. At a $450 ticket that is a five-figure year, from a run that costs nothing to keep.
07QUENCH

Review Harvesting

Held until collection, once the invoice is settled. A vehicle that came back for the same fault never gets asked.

  • Trigger: vehicle collected
  • Comebacks suppressed
  • Google and Facebook links

Runs on Review automation, described once where they are stamped rather than twice here.

08TEMPER

Lifetime Nurture Campaigns

Recall runs off the odometer, the inspection and emissions prompt off its own clock, and a tyre or battery push is timed to land in the slow weeks.

  • Mileage service recall
  • Annual inspection prompts
  • Seasonal check campaigns

STAMPED FROM

Nurture campaignThe quote that went quiet
The gap
Someone rings for a clutch price in March, hears the number, and goes quiet. The estimate sits in the account until the car is sold or fixed somewhere cheaper.
After the strike
A multi-touch line carries the price enquiry to a booked slot, then holds the vehicle on the list with service interval notes instead of a monthly discount blast.
What it pays back
If a garage takes ten price calls a week and converts three, the sequence only needs to move that to four. At $450 a ticket, that is the retainer covered.
Seasonal automationFirst frost, and inspection month
The gap
Winter arrives and every battery in town dies on the same Monday. Your client's shop is reactive: no campaign went out, and the bays fill with tows.
After the strike
Cold weather checks fire before the first frost. Tyres go out with the wet. Inspection and emissions prompts land the month each vehicle is due, per plate.
What it pays back
On a $70 seasonal check and fifty cars booked through November, converting one in four into tyres or a new battery turns the slow weeks profitable.
09TEMPER

Database Reactivation

Wakes the cars not seen in six months against mileage and last job, which beats a discount on an oil change by a wide margin.

  • 6 month dormant vehicles
  • Keyed to mileage and job
  • AI calling campaign

Runs on Nurture campaign and Custom fields, described once where they are stamped rather than twice here.

THE FRAME

Four parts belong to no single piece. They carry all nine, which is why they are listed once, here, rather than nine times above.

Pipelines

Bay diary board and a deferred board

The gap
Ask a garage owner what work customers turned down last quarter and you get a shrug. The information exists. It is on paper, in a drawer, behind the counter.
After the strike
One board walks a car from booking through diagnosis, approval and repair to collection. A second parks every declined item with its quoted price, ready for the next visit.
What it pays back
Say the deferred board is carrying $12,000 of named work at any time. Clear one job in ten and your client funds the whole retainer out of work they already sold.

Workflows

Estimate by text, parts held, recall

The gap
The car is stripped, the estimate is ready, and the owner will not pick up. The bay is locked for the afternoon while three voicemails go unanswered.
After the strike
Approval goes by text with a link. A parts delay sends its own note before the owner rings to ask. Recall runs from the odometer reading.
What it pays back
At a $120 labour rate, an afternoon of ramp time held hostage by an unanswered estimate costs more than most agencies charge for the install. Assume it happens weekly.

Custom values

Rate, fee and courtesy car terms

The gap
An agency installing this for a second garage does not want to rewrite every template. Labour rates, opening hours and advisor names differ at every single site.
After the strike
Trading name, hourly rate, the diagnostic charge, courtesy car wording, the advisors on the desk and every booking link are pre-mapped. Fill once, the build follows.
What it pays back
If your agency installs this across four garages, and each one would otherwise eat a day of find-and-replace, assume you have bought back a working week per cycle.

Custom fields

Registration, mileage, and what they refused

The gap
The declined rear box exists only as a line on a printed estimate. Ninety days on, nobody can name who was quoted for it, so nobody calls.
After the strike
Registration, make, model, odometer, last service date, next inspection due and the item they turned down all live as fields. The recall and deferred runs read them.
What it pays back
At a $310 average declined item and two deferrals a day on the floor, one properly captured field converts a drawer of paper into a workable call list.

Nine pieces in every build, never eight and never ten. The 70% no-show recovery and the 5 to 10 reviews a month are what these pieces are tuned to produce. They are targets we build to, not measured results from a named client.

ST-04 · THE LINE

How the complete system works

Lead capture to lifetime client.

The nine above are what lands in the account. This is the run: five stages, three moving parts each, in the order they fire for a auto repair garage build.

  1. 1CHARGE

    Everything that comes through the door

    Four ways in, one routed path, nothing left ringing.

    A breakdown and a booked service are different calls. Both are answered while the advisor is under a bonnet, and both land in real bay availability.

    The line that never rings out

    • Picked up on the first ring, at any hour
    • Works out what the caller wants by asking, not by menu
    • Puts them in a slot before the call ends
    • Switches between English and Spanish mid-conversation
    • Passes a live one to your team while they are still on
    • 24/7 pickup
    • Books in-call
    • EN/ES

    Typed enquiries, wherever they are typed

    • SMS, email, Messenger and Instagram answered in seconds
    • The site widget runs the same qualifying questions
    • Writes symptom and preference straight to the record
    • Hands over to a person the moment it should
    • Drops the contact into follow-up as the chat closes
    • Five inboxes
    • One script
    • Human handoff

    Form fills and paid traffic

    • Every submission starts the ten-day run
    • Email, SMS and AI calling work the lead together
    • Routed by symptom to the right path
    • Source stamped on the record for attribution
    • Carried into the bay slot without a manual step
    • Attribution
    • Three channels
    • Auto-route
  2. 2SOAK

    Bringing a cold lead up to temperature

    Ten days of heat on a customer who would otherwise cool to nothing.

    Ten days of nurture belongs to the quoted work, not the breakdowns: what the job involves, why the part costs that, and what happens if it waits.

    Days one to three, in writing

    • Opens with the offer, not a greeting
    • What the work involves, written for the trade
    • Proof from people in the same position
    • One thing to do: pick a time

    Days four to seven, by text

    • A dated offer with a reason to move now
    • One short line of proof, not a paragraph
    • A booking link that takes a single tap
    • Pressure without the shouting

    Days eight to ten, on the phone

    • A call that reopens the conversation
    • Meets the objection that stalled them
    • Takes the bay slot while they are still talking
    • Leaves something worth returning if not
  3. 3STRIKE

    Holding the booking once it is made

    A slot that stays filled, and a way back when it does not.

    An empty bay cannot be sold twice. Drop-off is confirmed, reminded three times, and a no-show gets a call before the morning is gone.

    Confirmed the moment it is set

    • Text with the details, sent immediately
    • Calendar file for Google and Outlook
    • Email copy written to the contact record
    • Vehicle and symptom form sent ahead of the visit

    Three reminders, falling closer

    • A day out, by text and by email
    • An hour out, the on-the-way note
    • Fifteen minutes out, the last word
    • Moving the slot takes one tap, not a call

    When the slot is missed

    • Called back inside the hour, not the next morning
    • Finds out what happened in conversation
    • Puts them back in the diary on the same call
    • Inside 60 min
    • 70% recovery target
  4. 4QUENCH

    Setting the finished job as public proof

    Every completed repair cooled into something a stranger can read.

    The ask fires at collection once the invoice is settled, and never on a vehicle that came back for the same fault.

    Asking at the right moment

    • A satisfaction check two hours after the repair
    • Happy: the Google and Facebook links follow
    • Unhappy: raised internally, never pushed public
    • Typically five to ten reviews a month, unattended

    Answering what comes back

    • Every positive review gets a reply
    • Written to the review, not from one template
    • Negative ones answered with care, not defence
    • Anything serious lands with a person

    Putting the proof back to work

    • Review text published back onto the site
    • Trust signals where the decision gets made
    • Lifts conversion on pages that already rank
    • Feeds what Google reads for local position
  5. 5TEMPER

    Keeping the client for years, not one job

    The customer stays on the books long after the invoice clears.

    Declined work and service intervals are two lists the garage already owns. Both are worked automatically, keyed to the vehicle rather than a calendar.

    Staying in view

    • Prompts timed to the trade calendar
    • A check-in every quarter
    • Something on the birthday and the anniversary
    • A yearly prompt to review the arrangement

    Answering without you

    • Common questions handled at any hour
    • Moves an appointment without a phone call
    • Reports where things stand on request
    • Finds and sends a document when asked

    Going back to the quiet list

    • Six months of silence opens the trigger
    • A return offer with something real in it
    • A referral ask once a month
    • A VIP tier for the customers who keep returning

ST-05 · THE CASE

Why it is worth forging

What it costs you today.

Cold metal

  1. 01The advisor cannot answer and diagnoseThe phone rings hardest between eight and ten, which is exactly when the advisor is under a bonnet. Those bookings go to the chain down the road.
  2. 02Declined work is written down and forgottenThe customer says not this time, the tech notes it on the repair order, and nobody ever raises it again. It is the largest number in the shop.
  3. 03An idle bay cannot be resoldA no-show at nine leaves a bay and a technician with nothing until noon, and neither hour comes back.
  4. 04Regulars drift away silentlyA customer who came twice a year stops coming, and it takes eighteen months before anybody notices they have gone.

After the forge

  1. Bookings taken while the bay is busyBreakdowns separated from booked services, both dropped into real availability rather than a promise.02 AI Receptionist
  2. Approval and collection by textThe estimate is approved on a phone instead of three unanswered calls, and the ready message sends itself.05 Smart Appointment System
  3. The ninety day declined work callThe one call most independents never make, with the item named and the price still on file.04 AI Outbound Caller
  4. Dormant vehicles brought backSix months quiet triggers a call keyed to mileage and last job rather than a discount on an oil change.09 Database Reactivation
  5. A profile that grows every weekAsks tracked by vehicle, capped for fleets, suppressed on comebacks, so the volume is steady and honest.06 Review Automation

Forged for

  • Independent garages with three or more bays taking bookings by phone
  • Shops with a declined work list they have never systematically followed up
  • Garages competing with a chain on convenience rather than price
  • Owners willing to record declined work as a field on the job

Not forged for

  • Body shops working through insurers, where the customer journey mostly belongs to somebody else
  • Mobile mechanics with no bay schedule to protect
  • Anyone expecting a native link to their shop management system without an integration build

If that second list is you, say so on the build call. We would rather tell you a auto repair garage build is the wrong shape for you than take the money and watch it sit in a sub-account.

ST-07 · THE SCOPE

Delivery and support

What the forge takes on.

Clear lines rather than small print. The build and everything it automates stay on our floor. Work that reaches outside HighLevel is commissioned separately and quoted first.

On the floor

  • Installing the snapshot into the sub-account, with the QA pass and the walkthrough
  • Rebranding the website: your client’s name, colours, logo, domain and booking links
  • A2P 10DLC registration and setup, opt-in wording checked before it is filed
  • Email service setup: domain email integrated in HighLevel and the sending domain authenticated
  • Creating a few more automations where the build needs them, and retuning the ones in it

Commissioned separately

Third-party integrations
Anything that has to talk to a system outside HighLevel: an EHR, a shop management system, a wash controller, a comparative rater.
Third-party API work
Keys, endpoints, retries and error handling. Two-way syncs, webhook relays and scheduled migrations.
Custom software development
Portals, calculators and internal tools. Real software, scoped and priced as software.

Anything in the second list is quoted before a spark is struck, or handed to a dedicated VA on a monthly retainer if you would rather have hands than a project. It is never billed to you as a surprise.

Delivery24 business hours
InstallationFree
Install support15 hours, within 8 days

Out of the fire and into the sub-account inside 24 business hours of purchase confirmation. The floor runs 9am to 5pm Central, Monday to Friday, and nothing ships at a weekend, so a Friday afternoon order is struck on Monday. Installation is free. You get 15 hours of dedicated installation support with it, to be used within 8 days of purchase. When the 15 hours are spent, or the 8 days are up, anything further is quoted before it is started and billed as work. Nothing lands on an invoice unannounced.
