Three steps. No phone hardware.

Most auto body shops are done before their coffee gets cold.

  1. Tell us about your business + pick a voice.

    Paste your website URL or Google Business Profile — we scan it and write your AI receptionist's script in seconds, pre-tuned for auto body shops. Tweak anything before going live, then pick a voice from our library.

  2. Forward your missed calls to your new RingReady number.

    We give you a dedicated number. Forward unanswered calls there from your carrier — one dial code. The number on your business cards, website, and Google profile stays the same — RingReady only picks up the calls you can't.

  3. Get a text and/or email after every call.

    Caller name, what they wanted, urgency, estimated value, and a one-tap link to the full call details — the same kind of handoff auto body shops would want from a great front-desk hire. Pick SMS, email, or both.

What it does

Built around how auto body shops actually run.

Vehicle & Damage Capture

AI captures year, make, model, and damage type (rear-end, side-impact, hail, deer strike). Estimator arrives with the basics already in hand.

Insurance Carrier Flagging

Caller mentions State Farm, Progressive, GEICO, Allstate, USAA, or any carrier? Tagged for paperwork prep — direct repair program (DRP) shops can prioritize partner carriers.

In-Person Estimate Booking

AI books estimate slots directly on your appraiser's calendar with vehicle and damage info pre-populated.

Tow-In Coordination

Vehicle not drivable? Caller stranded? AI flags tow-in scenarios and can capture the current location for your tow partner.

Auto Body & Collision Repair FAQ

Auto Body & Collision Repair-specific questions, answered.

Yes. Configure DRP partners (State Farm, Progressive, GEICO, etc.) and the AI prioritizes their callers, captures policy and claim numbers, and books estimate slots faster. Non-DRP carriers still get full estimate booking, just with normal priority.

AI captures whatever they know — police report number, other-party's carrier (if at-fault), or just 'TBD' — and books the estimate. Insurance details can be confirmed during the in-person visit.

Yes. RingReady handles unlimited concurrent calls at the same flat rate. A hailstorm that drives 100 estimate calls in 48 hours costs the same as your normal Tuesday volume.

Yes — via Zapier. CCC, Mitchell, AudaExplore integrations available through middleware. Every estimate-booked call auto-creates a work order with vehicle and customer info.

No — collision pricing requires in-person inspection of damage and parts availability. The AI explains pricing is determined at the in-person estimate, then books that estimate.
