SMS for auto repair shops

Oil change due. Text 300 customers at once.

Your customers don't remember when they last came in. You do, or your system does. One text about service due or a tire special fills the bays for the week, and a penny a text is cheaper than the postcard.

§ 01 · The problem

The slow week in the bays.

Three techs, two cars, and hundreds of customers who are due for something.

Shops send postcards. Forty cents each, two-week lead time, a five percent response on a good month. Meanwhile the customers who'd come in this week are the ones who came in five thousand miles ago, and they're a text away.

"Hi {first_name}, you're about due for an oil change. Reply with a day and we'll get you in." Sent Monday morning to everyone. Replies come to the counter with names attached.

Same list for the tire special before winter, the brake check special before summer road trips, and the day you close early.

§ 03 · How shop owners use it

Three jobs. One text each.

No campaign builder. No funnels. Just the message and the people it goes to.

Reminders

Service due, sent Monday.

One text to the customer list every few weeks. The ones who are due reply, and the week fills.

Seasons

Tires in October, AC in May.

A seasonal special to your own customers costs a penny a text and beats a postcard on every measure.

Notices

Closures, new hours.

Nobody drives across town to a closed shop. One text the day before.

§ 04 · How it works

Three steps. Five minutes.

If you can text a friend, you can do this.

01

Bring your customer list

Import the numbers you already have. Unlimited contacts on every plan, so the whole client book fits.

02

Write one message

Plain text, your words. Use {first_name} and it fills in each person's name automatically.

03

Hit send, read the replies

Everyone gets it in seconds. When they text back, it lands in your NotifyGrid inbox, not a shared phone.

§ 05 · Questions

Before you sign up.

The ones shop owners ask most.

Can I add customers from my shop software?

Yes. Export names and numbers, paste them in, or add customers as they check out. Unlimited contacts on every plan.

Can customers reply to book?

Yes. Replies land in your NotifyGrid inbox with the customer's name. The counter books them from there.

What does it cost compared to postcards?

About a penny per text versus forty cents per postcard, and the text gets read in three minutes. The $5 First Blast is 100 texts, no auto-renew.

Fill the bays. Text the list.

Every customer who's due, one message, replies to the counter. $5 to try.
