Stop Losing Weekend Tire Sales
68% of tire emergencies happen when you're closed.
7:30 PM Friday. Your tire shop closed 30 minutes ago. A customer needs four new tires before their weekend road trip and is calling every shop in town.
Your phone goes to voicemail. Your competitor answers.
That's an $800 sale walking out the door.
The Weekend Revenue Problem
Auto shops miss 100% of after-hours calls but 68% of tire emergencies happen outside business hours.
The lost opportunity:
Friday evenings: 23 calls/week × $650 average = $15K weekly potential
Saturday mornings: 31 calls/week × $480 average = $15K weekly potential
Sunday emergencies: 18 calls/week × $720 average = $13K weekly potential
Total weekly potential: $43K What you capture: $3K (emergency mobile only) Lost revenue: $40K weekly = $173K monthly
Reality check: When customers can't reach you, they drive to whoever answers first.
Why 24/7 Staffing Doesn't Work
❌ Additional wages: $8K+ monthly
❌ Weekend premiums: $3K+ monthly
❌ Benefits/insurance: $2K+ monthly
❌ Total cost: $15K+ monthly just to answer phones
You still need technicians to actually install the tires.
The AI Solution for Auto Shops

✅ Tire specs: "I need 235/60R18 tires for my Honda Pilot"
✅ Vehicle compatibility: Matching brands to driving needs and budgets
✅ Service bundling: Suggesting alignments, oil changes, brake checks
✅ Emergency triage: Roadside help vs. drive-in appointments

Calculate Your Lost Revenue
Monthly Lost Revenue = Missed Calls × Average Sale × Conversion Rate
Typical auto shop:
Missed after-hours calls: 200-400/month
Average sale with services: $450-650
Conversion rate: 20-25%
Lost revenue: $18K - $65K monthly
Your Competitors Are Moving Fast
Large chains and franchises are gaining market share not because they're better mechanics, but because they're always available.
Independent shops have two choices:
Compete on convenience and availability
Watch customers drive to "always open" competitors
The weekend emergency customer you help today becomes your loyal customer tomorrow.
