Stop losing jobs to a busy line
Ella answers every call for mechanic shops, 24 hours a day — no rings, no hold music.
A missed call is a booking someone else answers instead.
Example call
Caller
My car's making a grinding noise — can our technician take a look this week?A mechanic mid-job can't stop to answer the phone, which is exactly when most workshops lose the call to a competitor who picks up. Ella answers every time, gets the vehicle's make, model and the actual problem described upfront — instead of a technician calling back to ask the same questions — and books the job against real bay availability so the workshop doesn't end up double-booked. Parts-availability and pricing questions get answered on the spot where possible, and every confirmed booking goes out as an SMS automatically, so there's no confusion about the time when the customer turns up.
Where mechanic shops phone lines actually break down
Three real problems, and what Ella actually does about each one.
A mechanic mid-job can't stop to answer the phone, so the call goes to whichever workshop does pick up.
Ella answers every time, even while your whole team is under a car.
A technician calls a customer back just to ask the make, model and issue a second time.
Vehicle make, model and the actual problem are captured upfront, on the call.
Double-booked bays because bookings weren't checked against real availability.
Jobs are booked against real bay availability, not guessed.

What would this actually cost you?
Move the slider to your real call volume — every number below is either a published mechanic shops plan price or a named assumption, never an estimate we can't show our working for.
ZyncoAI — real plan
$329/month
Growth plan — 600 minutes/month, real published price.
Traditional receptionist
$5,417–$6,250/month
Based on a $65,000–$75,000/year AUD wage — a typical Australian admin/reception award range, not a quote.
At this volume: $61,052–$71,052 AUD/year difference between the Growth plan and the traditional-receptionist wage assumption above — the raw arithmetic, not a marketing percentage.
A real receptionist and Ella aren't a like-for-like swap — this compares call-answering cost only, using the two figures shown above.
