This is a rough estimate built entirely from the numbers you entered — not a promise of results. Real numbers depend on your traffic, your follow-up, and how fast you call people back. TorqueAI captures the lead and hands it to you; closing it is still on you.
Why website leads leak — and where
Most auto repair shops pay to bring people to their website through Google, reviews, and word of mouth, then quietly lose a chunk of them at the final step. A driver whose check-engine light comes on at 8pm pulls up your site, finds a phone number that rolls to voicemail and no other way to reach a human, and moves on to the next shop that answers. That's an after-hours lead — and it's car count you already paid to attract, spilling out the bottom of the funnel.
The fix isn't more traffic — it's catching more of the traffic you already have. A 24/7 website chat assistant answers the visitor's question, captures their name, number, vehicle, and the problem, and drops it in your inbox to call back in the morning. That's exactly the gap this calculator puts a dollar figure on. Here's how AI chat for auto repair shops works, and how it's different from a phone answering service.
Frequently asked
Isn't the capture rate just a guess?
Yes — that's why it's a slider you control. Nobody can know your exact number. The point is that even a small share of the visitors you already paid to attract, caught instead of lost, tends to be worth far more than the tool that catches them. Set it to whatever feels honest for your shop.
How much is TorqueAI?
$99/month, with the first 30 days free and no long-term contract. For most shops, catching a single repair job a month that would otherwise have been lost more than covers it.
Does it replace my phone?
No. TorqueAI is website chat — it works alongside your phone, catching the visitors who land on your site and would have left without calling. It never answers your phone or voicemail.
