Every Way TorQi Catches the Calls Your Shop Misses

TorQi backs up your advisors, captures appointment requests, and protects overflow and after-hours calls — fully managed by our team.

Best for busy independent shops, European/import specialists, and growing repair groups with real phone volume — not one-man shops or mobile mechanics.
Find your pain

Not a generic answering tool. Built for repair-shop calls.

Most "AI receptionists" answer a call and take a message. TorQi is built around the calls a busy shop actually misses — advisor overflow, after-hours, diagnostics, appointment requests, tow-ins, and high-value specialty calls — runs your service intake, and routes the urgent ones to your team.

Below is every way it helps. Find yours. ↓

Most common
📞

Advisor Overflow

Advisors are writing ROs, explaining estimates, and checking in customers — and the phone keeps ringing.

Backs up your advisors by answering overflow calls and capturing the appointment request.

🌙

After-Hours Call Answering

Customers call after you close and hit voicemail — and most never call back.

Answers 24/7, captures the customer, vehicle, need, urgency, and time, then sends the summary.

📅

Appointment Request Capture

Customers call to book, reschedule, or check availability while advisors are buried.

Captures the appointment request and routes it — and books when your approved setup supports it.

Appointment-drivenSee it →
📋

Service Intake

Incomplete phone notes make advisors call customers back just to understand the problem.

Captures name, vehicle, symptoms, urgency, tow-in/safety flags, and preferred timing.

Callback-heavy shopsSee it →
🔧

European / Import Calls

Import owners call multiple specialists — high-value diagnostic calls shouldn't hit voicemail.

Answers professionally, captures the high-value opportunity, and routes it to your advisor.

Urgent Calls / Tow-Ins

Urgent calls — tow-ins, no-starts, safety issues — get buried in the scheduling queue.

Flags urgent calls and routes them by your shop's rules.

Spanish-Speaking Callers

Shops lose opportunities when Spanish-speaking callers aren't handled well.

Supports Spanish depending on setup — captures the request and routes the summary.

Multi-Location Groups

Coverage is strong at one location and leaky at another — and you can't see it.

Consistent call handling and summaries across locations, with location-level routing.

A closer look

The four that matter most to busy shops.

01 · Advisor Overflow

The phone rings while both advisors are buried.

Your advisors can't write an RO with the customer at the counter and answer the phone at the same time. The call that rings during the rush goes to voicemail — and to the next shop on Google.

Backs up your advisors; it doesn't replace them.

02 · After-Hours Call Answering

After you close, every call is a voicemail.

And a customer who's already dialing the next shop. TorQi answers 24/7 and captures the request before they move on — with a clean summary waiting for you in the morning.

Answers after-hours and overflow calls; captures and routes — doesn't diagnose or quote.

03 · Appointment Request & Service Intake

Thin phone notes mean callbacks just to understand the job.

Booking calls collide with the rush. TorQi captures the request plus a complete intake — vehicle, symptoms, urgency, tow-in/safety flags, timing — ready to schedule. Fewer callbacks, cleaner schedule.

Captures appointment requests and service-intake details; books when the approved setup supports it.

04 · European / Import Specialist Calls

High-value calls shouldn't go to voicemail.

An import owner calling about a diagnostic or major repair is high-dollar work — and they won't leave a second voicemail. TorQi answers professionally, captures the concern, and routes it to your advisor. One call can be a repair that would've gone to a competitor.

Captures and routes the high-value opportunity; it doesn't diagnose or quote.

You do not configure TorQi. We do.

Other AI tools expect you to:

  • Write the scripts
  • Build the workflows
  • Connect the calendars
  • Monitor the calls
  • Fix what breaks

TorQi does it for you:

  • Writes the scripts
  • Builds the call flows
  • Tests the calls
  • Monitors quality
  • Tunes the AI · sends reports

You run a shop, not an IT department.

Works with your process

Works around the systems you already run.

TorQi fits your current phone and scheduling process and works alongside Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, AutoLeap, Shop-Ware, Protractor, Mitchell, RO Writer, your calendar, or simple email/SMS summaries. No rip-and-replace. Direct booking and deeper integrations depend on your approved setup and can be scoped later — you don't need them to start catching calls.

FAQ

Repair use cases, answered straight.

Can TorQi handle advisor overflow?
Yes — that's the core use case. It answers the calls your advisors can't grab while they're with customers and captures the appointment request.
Can TorQi answer after-hours calls?
Yes — 24/7, so after-hours calls don't disappear into voicemail.
Can TorQi book appointments?
It captures the appointment request and routes it, and books directly when your approved scheduling setup supports it.
Can it integrate with Tekmetric / Shopmonkey / AutoLeap?
It works alongside them. Direct booking/integration depends on your setup and can be scoped.
Can TorQi work without integration?
Yes — it can hand off summaries by email or SMS. No integration required to start.
Can it handle diagnostic calls?
It captures the symptom and routes the call to your advisor — it doesn't diagnose the vehicle.
Can it handle tow-ins and urgent calls?
Yes — it flags tow-ins, no-starts, and safety issues and routes them by your rules.
Can it speak Spanish?
Yes, depending on setup — we configure and test it for your shop.
Does TorQi replace my advisors?
No. It backs them up on the calls they can't grab.
Does it diagnose or quote prices?
No. It captures the need and routes it; diagnosis and pricing stay with your team unless you've approved specific rules.
Is this for small shops or busy shops?
Busy shops — real call volume and advisor overload. Not one-man shops or mobile mechanics.
How fast can we launch?
Quickly once we have your details and approved call rules. We test the flow before it goes live rather than rushing it.

Stop letting repair calls disappear into voicemail.

TorQi backs up your advisors, captures appointment requests, and helps busy shops protect the calls they already paid to generate.
