Never lose another repair job to a missed call or forgotten work.

Astro Digital Labs builds the text-first Capture system for auto shops. When you can’t get to the phone, an AI books the job by text. And the work customers already declined? We help you win it back. Built by an engineer, not a middleman.

No contracts. $0 setup. One job you would’ve missed pays for months.

The leaks

You have two leaks. Both cost you jobs.

Leak A · The phone

You’re under a hood. The phone’s ringing. That’s a job walking away.

Calls come in while you’re on a car, after hours, on weekends. They hit voicemail, and the caller dials the next shop on the list. A growing share of customers won’t call at all. They want to book by text or online at 9pm.

Leak B · The back catalog

The work they declined is money you already earned.

Every inspection turns up work the customer puts off. Brakes, tires, maintenance. It gets logged and forgotten. A shop can sit on thousands in work it already recommended, to customers who already trust it.

You’re not losing these jobs on price or service. You’re losing them to a follow-up that never happens.

The cost

Do the math on a slow week.

10 missed calls  ×  $350 to $2,000 per job  =  $3,500 to $20,000 of work you never knew you lost.

Plus the declined work already sitting in your system. That’s not a marketing problem. It’s a revenue leak, and it’s fixable fast.

Where to start

Directional estimate based on typical call patterns for a shop your size. Your free missed-call audit measures your actual phone line for a full week. The real number is often higher.

The fix

One system so no job slips.

Text-first by default. So it feels like a conversation, not a robocall.

Instant Text-Back

Miss a call and the caller gets a text in seconds, so they stop dialing your competitors and start a conversation with you.

AI Text Booking

A natural back-and-forth text that captures the job and books it straight into your calendar. It reads like a person texting, not a robot. And it knows you’re a one-person shop, so it never overbooks you.

Automated Reviews

Every finished job triggers a Google review request automatically, so your reputation builds itself.

Found-Money Recovery

Upload your declined-work report and see exactly how much you’re sitting on. Then we help you win it back with ready-to-send follow-ups and a prioritized call list.

Why ADL

Engineer-built. Recession-resilient.

Built by a software engineer who codes, not an agency spun up from a weekend course. Your system is built and tuned by the person who writes it, not resold by a middleman.

  • Auto shops are recession-resilient. People keep cars longer when money’s tight. The average vehicle on US roads is now a record 12.8 years old. When new-car sales slow, your bays stay full.
  • No contracts. No lock-in. Self-serve setup in minutes.
  • Based in Smyrna, GA, working with independent shops across the US.
  • You work directly with the engineer who builds your system.

FAQ

The questions shops actually ask.

Will the texts feel robotic?
No. The AI texts in short, natural language as your shop, and you can jump in anytime. For the jobs that matter, you can have it draft the message and send with one tap.
Do I have to switch my shop software?
No. It works alongside what you use, and books into your Google Calendar. No rip-and-replace.
Do you do voice? Will it answer the phone?
Optional. Most shops start text-first because it feels more personal and fewer customers hang up. If you want your phone answered live, add the AI Voice Receptionist anytime.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Month-to-month. The system pays for itself or you leave.
How fast can it go live?
Text-back and booking can be live in a few days. Found-Money recovery works as soon as you upload a declined-work report.
