You're under a car. The phone is ringing. The caller is dialing the next three shops right now. CLETUS picks up — on your phone and your website — so you don't lose the job.
14-day free trial · No credit card · Setup in 15 minutes
You can't answer the phone while you're on your back under a Silverado. Customers call three shops and go with whoever answers first. Every missed call is a ticket lost to the shop down the road.
Hands Are Full
You're under a car, at a lift, or on the road test. Phone rings and goes to voicemail.
Next-Shop Syndrome
Customers rarely leave a voicemail. They just dial the next shop and go with the first answer.
Scheduling Chaos
Customers want to drop off tomorrow at 7. Your voicemail can't confirm that.
Pre-qualifies jobs before they hit your phone.
"What do brake pads cost on a 2018 F-150?"
"Do you work on Mercedes? BMWs? Diesels?"
"When can you get me in for an alignment?"
"Is my car ready yet?"
"Do you accept my extended warranty?"
"How much for a synthetic oil change?"
"Can you test my battery today?"
"Can I leave it in the lot tonight?"
Drop-Off Scheduling
CLETUS books drop-offs on your calendar. Name, phone, year/make/model, symptoms — all captured.
