Garages · Missed-call calculator · 30-second estimate
Ava books the MOT slot. You do the work. Neither of you misses a job.
A missed call to a garage is rarely just one MOT — it is a multi-year servicing relationship deciding where to land. Move the sliders and see what walks out the door.
Ava captures the booking, syncs the diary, and sends the confirmation — so every MOT slot fills and every repeat customer stays yours.
Turn that number into booked jobs.
In a free AI Audit we map where calls slip through, what they cost you, and exactly how Ava recovers them. No pitch, no obligation.
How much does a missed call cost a UK garage or MOT centre?
A single missed call to a garage rarely represents just an MOT. UK drivers who find a trustworthy garage keep returning — for annual services, advisory repairs, and everything in between. The lifetime value of a retained customer running £800–£1,200 in annual spend compounds quickly. Miss the first call and you may never get the chance to earn that relationship.
- MOT booking windows are predictable — cars due in the same month every year. Drivers ring two or three garages and book the first one with availability that answers.
- Repair and advisory work follows naturally from the service relationship — a booked MOT is the start of that conversation, not a one-off transaction.
- Ava's flat monthly from £397 can be covered by retaining a single customer's annual MOT and service spend.

Garages missed-call calculator — common questions
How we estimate
Indicative figure. UK drivers spend an average of £800–£1,200 per year on vehicle maintenance including MOTs, servicing, and repairs (Autohome / Acton Service Centre, June 2026). MOT maximum fee is £54.85 (DVSA cap, 2026); full services run £150–£350; unplanned repairs range from £50 to £400+. The calculator defaults to £2,500 as a blended multi-year estimate for a customer who books their annual MOT and service with the same garage for roughly 3 years — a conservative retention figure that excludes the higher-value repair and advisory work that comes with an established relationship. Adjust to your own average.
The calculator multiplies your missed calls by a ~35% warm-lead close rate and your customer lifetime value. A missed call is a warm lead — the caller has a need and is ringing round. Every input is adjustable; the figures shown are an estimate, not a promise.
