Stop losing jobs to a phone that rings out under a hood.
PorchBell answers every call, captures the quote brief, and texts back missed callers. Built for shops, mobile mechanics, and detailers across the US. $49 a month. No per-minute surprises.
Every call that rings out is a job that goes to the next shop.
Auto shops depend on bay throughput. Here is where most jobs slip away.
You're under the hood, the phone is in the office.
Every quote call needs your attention. PorchBell picks up so you don't have to wipe your hands and run for the line.
Every quote starts with the same five questions.
Year, make, model, what's the symptom, when can you bring it in. Mae captures all five so you call back with the brief already in hand.
Voicemail kills your callback rate.
Most callers won't leave a message; they tap the next shop on Google. Mae has a real conversation, gets the details, and texts you the summary in seconds.
Spanish-speaking customers fall through.
Auto is a bilingual industry. Mae auto-detects English or Spanish on the first hello. No menu, no transfer, no missed job.
What Mae actually does for you.
Captures the quote brief before you call back
Year, make, model, mileage, what's making the noise, and when they can drop it off. Mae asks the questions you'd ask, in your customer's words.
Books routine work in real time
Oil changes, tire rotations, alignments, inspections, anything with a known duration. Mae checks your bay availability and books on the spot.
Triages emergencies vs quote requests
Tow on the side of the road needs the owner now. Estimate on a rattling noise can wait until lunch. Mae knows the difference and routes accordingly.
Texts back every missed call
Caller hangs up before Mae picks up? They get a friendly SMS in seconds.
Speaks your customer's language
Bilingual on the first hello. The same voice handles English and Spanish, switches mid-call if the customer does, with no IVR menu.
Recording disclosure baked in
Every call opens with a recording notice designed for Florida and other all-party consent states.
Simple, transparent, no contracts.
Start free, no credit card. Cancel anytime. Each plan is a flat monthly rate with a clear minute allowance, and alerts at 80% and 100% of it so you can upgrade in time. Once the allowance is used, calls forward to your own phone, or go to voicemail if no forwarding number is set. No surprise per-minute bills, ever.

Common questions.
The questions we hear most on sales calls, with straight answers.
How fast can I get up and running?
Most businesses are answering calls the same day. We pick a phone number with you, walk you through your services and hours, and run a test call together. If you want full setup support, we will do that in person if you are in Brevard County, or by video call anywhere else.
Does it work with my existing phone number?
Yes. Two options: keep your existing number and forward unanswered calls to a new local number we set up, or port your number to us for free. Most businesses keep their existing number on day one. Porting takes about a week and costs nothing.
What do I need to provide to get started?
Your business name, your service list with rough pricing, your hours, and how you want missed calls handled. We bring everything else. You do not need any new hardware, app, or carrier change.
Will she sound like a robot?
No. Mae uses natural conversational speech, handles interruptions, and adapts her tone to the caller. We send you a recording of every call so you can hear for yourself.
What happens if she cannot answer a question?
She transfers to your cell, takes a callback request, or does whatever you have told her to do for that scenario. You set the rules in the dashboard. She does not make things up.
Get on the launch list.
