AgentBuddy / Canterbury / Marchwiel / Mechanics
As a mechanic, every time the phone rings while you're up to your elbows in a cambelt or brake job, you lose diagnostic time or risk a quote error. AgentBuddy answers those calls, books WOFs, sends instant quotes for common jobs like cambelts or brake pads, and follows up unpaid invoices so you can focus on the spanners.
A mechanic in Marchwiel does not have a receptionist. AgentBuddy is the closest thing, at NZ$29 a month plus a few cents a job. Marchwiel is a tight market where reputation travels, so the call you miss on Tuesday is the job someone else does on Wednesday.
A customer calls about a rough idle. AgentBuddy captures their rego and issue, schedules a diagnostic slot in your calendar, and texts them a confirmation with the shop address.
When someone asks for a cambelt replacement price, AgentBuddy asks the vehicle model and mileage, pulls your preset pricing, and emails a quote while you finish the current job.
After a brake pad replacement, AgentBuddy automatically sends payment reminders at 7, 14, and 21 days overdue, and can even offer a payment link or arrange a plan.
Yes. AgentBuddy can triage urgent calls, offer your roadside assistance details, or book a tow if you provide a preferred towing company's contact.
AgentBuddy can access your predefined price list by vehicle model and job. If it's not in your list, it will take the customer's details and send you a notification to call back with a custom quote.
Yes, AgentBuddy integrates with common NZ workshop management systems to sync jobs, customer details, and invoices so you don't have to double enter data.
AgentBuddy introduces itself as your assistant and never pretends to be you. Most callers care that someone picked up and booked them in. If a caller asks for you directly it takes a message or puts them through, depending on the rule you set.
It says so rather than guessing, takes the details and passes the question to you. You give it a pricing range it is not allowed to quote outside, so it cannot commit you to a number you would not have given yourself.
No. You keep your number and forward it to AgentBuddy, either all the time or only when you do not pick up. You can turn forwarding off whenever you want, and calls come straight back to your phone.
Yes. AgentBuddy works anywhere in New Zealand with a phone signal, Marchwiel included. It is set up with you over four short calls, all booked late afternoon or after five so we are not pulling you off a job.
