Why Garages Struggle with Admin Overload 🛠️
Running a garage is tough. You’re fixing cars, ordering parts, and trying to keep customers happy. The last thing you need is to spend hours on the phone or wrestling with complicated MOT booking software. Yet, missed calls and forgotten MOTs can cost you customers and revenue.
JVR Virtual Receptionist’s AI phone answering service takes that burden off your shoulders.
It answers calls 24/7 📞, sends automatic MOT reminders ⏳, and lets customers book MOTs through a simple phone call — all using your existing phone line and email. No tech skills needed. Just more time to focus on what you love: fixing cars.
The Problem with Traditional MOT Booking Systems 😩
Most booking tools are built for big garages with front desk staff. If you're a solo mechanic or a small team, managing endless voicemails and clunky systems eats into your day.
👉 A Forbes study found that 80% of callers who reach voicemail don’t leave a message. Every missed call could mean a lost MOT booking.
JVR’s AI phone answering system is built for the little guy — the family-run garage, the mobile mechanic, the busy shop juggling walk-ins and repairs. It’s simple, affordable, and built around your schedule. No apps. No dashboards. Just your phone and email.
Save Time and Reduce Stress 🧘♂️
Small business owners are under pressure. According to Simply Business UK, 56% of UK small business owners report mental health issues due to work stress.
Chasing calls and manually managing bookings only adds to it.
With JVR, your phone line becomes your receptionist. Our AI handles inquiries, books MOTs, and sends reminders to ensure customers show up. You stay in the garage doing what you do best — we keep your schedule full.
Why JVR Feels Like a Real Team Member 😊
Our AI doesn’t just automate — it connects.
✅ It answers calls with a professional, friendly tone

✅ Books appointments and sends reminders without any extra tools
Whether you're a mobile mechanic 🚗 or a small garage 👨👩👧👦, JVR ensures no call goes unanswered and no MOT gets forgotten. Plus, our UK-based support team is always here when you need a human — no faceless tech company here.
