An example
Under a car at 10am
Three calls while your hands are covered in oil. All three are answered, two MOTs are booked, and one question is waiting in a text for your break.
Garages & MOT centres · Colchester
Booked in. Reminded. Back on the road.
The phone rings while you're under a car, and MOT reminders and quote follow-ups slip. That's work going elsewhere.

- AI assistant: Good morning, thanks for calling the garage. I'm the AI assistant. How can I help?
- Caller: My MOT's due next week. Can I book it in?
