Relay for auto repair shops
The estimate you wrote on Monday is sitting in someone’s inbox, and the phone rang out while you were under a lift. Relay chases the estimate, texts the caller back, and reminds customers when the next service is due.

Chase the estimate that went quiet
Anyone quoted and not booked gets a friendly nudge at day two, day five and day ten, stopping the moment they reply.
Bring them back a year later
A date-based reminder counts forward from the last completed job and sends the “time for your service” text.
Text back the calls you miss
Under the lift, the phone rings. The caller gets a text within a minute and replies land in your inbox.
Ask for the review while it is fresh
A couple of hours after the job is marked complete, a text with your review link.
Fill the slow season before it starts
A seasonal pre-book playbook texts a segment of past customers ahead of the busy months with a link to book.
Playbooks are turned on from Automations → Templates and every step is editable in plain language.

Questions auto repair shops ask
Is Relay a shop management system?
No. Relay does not write repair orders or look up parts. It is the customer communication and follow-up layer beside whatever you run the shop on.
Can customers book a slot online?
Yes. A public booking page synced to Google Calendar, with confirmation and reminders sent automatically.
Can I send an invoice and get it chased?
Yes. Send the invoice from Relay; tag it overdue and the chase sends three reminders over three weeks.
Can I hear a call back?
Calls through Relay show on the customer’s timeline and can carry a recording and a transcript.
What does it cost?
The plans on this page are the same for every business, with a free plan to start on. No contract.
