Never Miss a Repair Call When Your Shop Is Closed
Cars break down at night, on weekends, and on holidays. When your customers call and get voicemail, they Google the next shop. Tenmist answers every call and captures the lead.
Breakdowns Don't Wait for Business Hours
A car won't start Monday morning. Brakes are grinding on the way home from work at 6 PM. The check engine light comes on during a weekend road trip. Your customers call when the problem happens — not when your shop opens.
Every missed after-hours call is a $300-1,500 repair job going to your competitor. For major work like transmission repairs or engine diagnostics, that's $2,000-5,000+ walking out the door.
Traditional answering services just take a name and number. They can't tell a caller your shop hours, whether you work on their vehicle make, or how soon you could get them in.

Here's what business owners say about switching to Tenmist.
“Customers call when their car breaks down, not during business hours. Tenmist books the appointment and I have a full schedule waiting for me every morning. We've increased our weekly car count by 15%.”
Ray P.
Owner, Precision Auto Repair
Auto Repair“We were losing 5-6 calls a night to voicemail. First week with Tenmist, we captured a $4,200 water heater replacement that called at 9 PM on a Tuesday. The service paid for itself before we even got our first bill.”
Mike R.
Owner, Summit Plumbing
Plumbing“I was skeptical about AI answering our phones — my clients expect a personal touch. But honestly, patients can't tell the difference. We've booked 12 new patients in the first month that would have gone to voicemail.”
