Illustration of a day's calls.

For garages and mechanics

It answers, sorts and books. You get on with your day.

01

Books MOTs and services

Registration, what needs doing and a slot in the workshop diary.

02

Messages with the reg attached

Every call emailed to you with the car, the problem and the number.

03

Covers busy times and evenings

Overflow when the line is engaged, bookings after you close.

In the workshop

Nobody can answer with their hands in an engine bay, so the booking goes to the garage down the road.

"Is my car ready?"

The same call ten times a day, each one stopping a technician.

After closing

People sort out their MOT in the evening, when nobody is there to book it.

Sample call

A call to a garage like yours.

An ordinary call, start to finish. Yours would use your name, your prices and your diary.

FAQ

What garages and mechanics ask us.

Can it tell customers when their car is ready?

It takes the question and the reg, and the workshop is asked to call back, so nobody downs tools mid-job.

Can it give prices?

Only the ones you give it, such as your MOT price. Repairs get a quote request with the details you need.

Do I need anything technical?

No. Forward your workshop number to Halo, or take a new one. Setup takes about five minutes.

What if a customer wants a mechanic?

It can put the call through, or take a message if nobody is free, whichever you choose.

How does the free trial work?

Every plan starts with 30 days free. Cancel during the trial from your dashboard and you pay nothing.

Who is behind Halo?

Halo is built and run by Onecom, a UK business communications provider.
