Automotive workshops
Bring customers back for servicing without calling each one
Workshops, detailing studios and car service centres depend on repeat visits: servicing, inspections, tyre changes and renewals. Wedo Automations schedules reminders, follows up on quotes and keeps bookings organised.
01 — Common problems
Where the time and enquiries tend to slip away
Servicing due dates are forgotten
Customers do not track mileage or dates, and workshops lose repeat business to whoever reminds them first.
Quotes for repairs go unanswered
A customer receives a quote for brake work or an aircon repair and then goes quiet.
Phones ring while mechanics are under cars
Calls about booking slots, opening hours or pickup status interrupt the bay and the counter.
Pickup readiness messages are manual
Letting the customer know the car is ready depends on someone remembering to send it.
Reviews rarely get collected
A satisfied customer collecting their car is the best moment to ask, and it often passes.
02 — Automation examples
What can be configured
Examples of workflows that can be set up for this type of business. Exact wording, timing and channels are agreed with you.
