BotsDontSleep is a 24/7 answering service for Edmonton auto service shops. It answers calls while advisors are in the bay, books winterisation and tire changeovers, coordinates no-start calls, and gives repair status updates — $0.60 per minute.
Why do Edmonton auto service lose calls?
Edmonton drivers put their vehicles through conditions that create a distinct service calendar: block heaters, battery replacement, and winter tires from October, then a spring surge of suspension and undercarriage work after freeze-thaw damage. On the coldest mornings the phone rings from 6am with no-start calls before any shop opens. Those callers need a tow and a booking, and they take the first shop that answers.
Which calls does it answer for you in Edmonton?
- Pre-6am no-start calls on the coldest mornings of the year
- Block heater, battery, and winterisation bookings from October
- Winter and summer tire changeover surges with storage questions
- Spring suspension and alignment work after freeze-thaw road damage
- Repair status enquiries from customers without a vehicle
The receptionist takes no-start calls before opening, captures vehicle details and location, coordinates towing under your arrangement, and books the vehicle into your first available bay. Routine work is booked with year, make, model, and tire storage details captured.

Edmonton auto repair answering service FAQs
- What would an Edmonton shop with two service advisors spend?
- No setup fee, no minimum months. At $0.60 per answered minute, a shop with about 300 minutes of monthly call volume pays roughly $180, versus $1.50-$3.00 a minute for a live overflow answering line.
- How fast can we get set up before winterisation season?
- About a week, including loading your bay availability, tire storage process, and towing arrangement so bookings land correctly from day one.
- Does it take calls before we open at 5:30am on a -35°C morning?
- Yes. No-start calls before opening are answered exactly like any other call, with vehicle details captured and towing coordinated under your arrangement, so the car is booked into your first available bay.
- Can it handle October's tire changeover rush without our advisors drowning?
- Yes. Every caller booking a winter tire swap is answered on the first ring even during the compressed few weeks when demand spikes, with tire storage details attached to each appointment automatically.
- Does it connect to our shop management system?
- Yes, we connect to systems like Mitchell 1 or Shopmonkey during onboarding, so bookings appear directly in your existing bay schedule.
- What about a spring pothole-season surge in suspension calls?
- It's answered the same way as any other call volume spike — every caller reaches a live conversation in parallel, qualifies the job, and books it, instead of leaving voicemails that your advisors call back a day later.
- Will it interrupt an advisor mid-diagnosis for a status update call?
- No. Status enquiries are handled end to end from the information you expose, and only calls matching your escalation rules — authorisations or complaints — reach an advisor directly.
- Do we keep our current shop phone number?
- Yes, forwarding doesn't change your published number, and there's no contract locking you in.
- Is this better than a shared answering service for auto shops?
- A generic live answering service usually can't handle tire storage or towing coordination specifically and costs $1.50-$3.00 a minute. This is built around auto-service call types at $0.60 a minute with unlimited simultaneous calls.
- Can it take no-start calls before the shop opens?
- Yes. Calls at 5:30am on a -35°C morning are answered the same as any other, with the vehicle booked into your first available bay and towing coordinated under whatever arrangement you have.
- Does it handle tire storage questions?
- Yes. It can confirm whether a customer has tires stored with you from the information you provide, and books the changeover with the storage details attached to the appointment.
- Will it interrupt advisors with routine calls?
- No. Routine bookings and status enquiries are handled end to end. Only calls matching your escalation rules — authorisations, complaints, complex diagnostics — are passed to an advisor.
