Never miss an estimate or status call again

RankLadder answers every call while your techs are under a hood, captures the car, the symptom, and the callback number, answers ‘is it ready yet’ from your notes, and texts the estimate link to confirm. On every plan.

$4 for 7 days, then auto-renews on your selected monthly Starter ($99), Pro ($199), or Scale ($499) plan unless you cancel before the trial ends.

Customer texting starts on a paid plan after the one-time $39 10DLC registration and carrier approval. See plan and trial details.

What does an AI office manager do for auto repair shops?

RankLadder is the AI office manager for auto repair shops. It picks up while your techs are under a hood, captures the vehicle and the symptom for estimate calls, takes is-it-ready-yet status checks as messages, and texts your estimate link to confirm.

The inbox

Every conversation. One inbox.

Calls, texts, and website questions from your customers stay in one thread. Your team sees what happened and what comes next without asking anyone to start over.

01

RankLadder captures the year and make, the symptom, and how soon they need it, so your service writer calls back already knowing the job instead of starting the conversation from zero.

02

Explain the diagnostic fee and makes you service, and take a message when a repair needs a mechanic’s judgment.

03

Capture a new drop-off time or repair reschedule request so your shop can confirm the change.

Before you forward a call

Questions auto repair shops ask before they start.

Can RankLadder take estimate requests over the phone?

Yes. It captures the year and make, the symptom the driver describes, the callback number, and any custom questions you add, like whether they want a loaner. The details land in your inbox as a clean summary so your writer calls back already knowing the job.

Can it answer ‘is my car ready yet’ calls?

Those status calls get taken as a message and dropped in the car’s thread so you can reply when it’s done, instead of a tech stopping mid-job to check. Routine questions like hours and pricing it answers live from your knowledge base.

Will it sound like a robot to my customers?

It identifies itself as an AI assistant, speaks naturally, and handles 18 languages. When a call needs a real person, it transfers instead of guessing at a repair. Your customers get an answer when the call reaches RankLadder instead of dropping into voicemail.

Can it route a call to me when it matters?

Yes. You write transfer rules in plain English, like send fleet accounts or a tow coming in straight to the shop. The AI briefs the caller, then bridges them to you. Starter includes 3 transfer rules; Pro and Scale are unlimited.

Does it work after hours and on weekends?

Yes, on every plan. When you close, the AI keeps answering, captures drop-off and estimate details, and marks anything that needs you. Whatever came in overnight is summarized and waiting in your inbox by the time you open the bay, no voicemails to dig through.

Do I have to change my shop’s phone number?

No. You keep the number that’s printed on your invoices, your sign, and every listing, and forward it to your dedicated RankLadder line. You can unforward it anytime, so you are never locked in and nothing about how customers reach you changes.
