You're under a car.
The phone doesn't care.
Impact wrench in hand, a car on the lift — and the phone rings. A driver with a brake noise won't leave a voicemail; they call the next shop. MintWire's AI phone receptionist for auto repair shops answers every call, tells callers your services and hours, captures their name, number and the vehicle problem, and books the visit.

Talk to it right now.
A live assistant for Nord Studio, a fictional hair & beauty studio in Austin, TX. Ask about services, prices or opening hours, or try to book — in English or Spanish.
Things to try:
- How much is a cut and color?
- Can I book Saturday morning?
- ¿Hablan español?
Missed calls are empty bays.
Drivers calling around for a repair take the first shop that answers. Every ring that goes to voicemail is a job — and often a regular customer — lost to the shop down the road.
Hands in the engine bay
You can't wipe off and grab the phone for every quote call. The AI answers, quotes your services and hours, and takes the job details for you.
Before & after hours
Drivers call before their commute or after work. The AI answers when the shop is closed and books the drop-off for the morning.
Parts & status calls
"Is my car ready?" calls interrupt the work that makes it ready. The AI captures the request and routes it to your inbox so you answer on your schedule.
What happens when it picks up.
It works from the knowledge base and rules you set — no invented prices, services or availability.
Greets & answers
Discloses it's an AI assistant, then answers common questions — services, hours, location, drop-off rules — straight from your knowledge base.
Captures the job details
It asks for the caller's name and the vehicle problem, and reads back the best callback number to confirm it — so you can call back with a quote.
Books or hands off
With Booking enabled it offers real open slots and books the visit to your calendar; otherwise it takes the message and routes it to your operator inbox.
Urgent? Straight to your cell
A caller with something that can't wait — or who insists on talking to a person? It puts them through to your cell.
After every call you get a summary email, and the lead lands in your inbox with the caller’s name and confirmed number.
Everything you need, one price.
One subscription covers the phone receptionist, website chat and intake forms. Nothing is billed per feature.
Your own local number
We set up a US number in your area code when one is available — or forward the line that’s already on your truck and Google listing.
Books the job
Offers real open slots from your Google Calendar and books the visit, following the services, hours and rules you set.
Emergencies go to your cell
Urgent calls are put straight through to the number you choose. Everything else becomes a message.
English & Spanish
It answers in the caller’s language automatically. No extra charge.
A summary after every call
Name, confirmed callback number and what they need — emailed to you and saved in your inbox.
Website chat & forms included
The same assistant answers your website chat and intake forms, in the same inbox.

Questions owners ask.
Will callers know they’re talking to an AI?
Yes. It introduces itself as your business’s AI assistant, then handles the call naturally — answering questions, taking details and booking.
Can I keep my business number?
Yes. Forward your existing line to your MintWire number — every call, or only the ones you don’t pick up (your phone carrier controls that). Or use the new local number on your website and ads.
What happens with a real emergency?
A caller with something that can't wait — or who insists on talking to a person? It puts them through to your cell. You choose the number in your settings.
How do the minutes work?
The $78 plan includes 250 talk minutes a month (1,000 on Phone Receptionist Pro). Top-ups are $12 for 30 minutes, $20 for 60 and $35 for 120. We never charge overage automatically: the dashboard warns you when you’re running low, and if the pool runs out the receptionist stops answering until you top up or the month resets.
Do I need special equipment or software?
No. It works with any phone line you can forward. Setup happens in your browser: add your services, hours and service area, connect Google Calendar if you want booking, and go live the same day.
Is there a contract?
No. Monthly billing, cancel anytime. The phone plan starts with a 14-day free trial — a card is required because we set up a real phone number; cancel during the trial and you pay nothing. Then a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first charge.
Keep the bays full, not the voicemail.
