What Janine does for a mobile mechanic

Book a visit. registration first (let them read it slowly, read it back), the fault in their words, where the car is (drive, street, work car park), postcode, name, quote the diagnostic or the fixed jobs your price list, slot your availability.
Not driveable or broken down on the road. "are you somewhere safe?" If on a motorway or a live lane: "get behind the barrier and call National Highways." Then pass to the recovery number your price list; a mobile mechanic isn't sent to a live road.

Safety first

Before anything else on an urgent call, Janine says the safety line for your trade:

“Please make sure the car is somewhere we can work on it safely with a bit of space around it.”
“are you somewhere safe?”
“get behind the barrier and call National Highways.”

What she never does

Never say what the fault is from a description, never a repair price before the diagnostic, never say the car is safe to drive.

Questions mobile mechanics ask before signing up

How much does an AI receptionist cost for mobile mechanics?

£79 a month including 300 call minutes, then 15p a minute. Setup is £149, waived for the first five founder customers. There is no contract and no per-seat pricing; one price covers every call to your number.

Do mobile mechanics have to change their phone number to use Ring Janine?

No. You keep your number and divert it to Janine only when you don't answer, using one dial code that works on every UK network. Callers ring the number on your van, your website and Google, and Janine picks up on ring five if you can't.

What does Janine actually say when someone rings a mobile mechanic?

She answers as your business by name, finds out what the caller needs, asks the safety question first if it is urgent, takes the postcode, address and name, offers a slot from your real availability, reads the details back and texts the confirmation. The transcript on this page is a genuine call.

Does Janine quote prices for mobile mechanics?

Only the prices you give her. She never invents a figure: if something is not on your price list she says the office will confirm and takes a message. Call-out and fixed prices are quoted with what they cover, so a caller never hears a number on its own.

How does Janine handle emergencies for mobile mechanics?

Please make sure the car is somewhere we can work on it safely with a bit of space around it.

Can I hear Janine before I sign up?

Yes. Ring the demo line on 07360 266999, say "mobile mechanic" when she asks which business to be, and have a normal conversation. Nothing is stored except the demo transcript.
