Live 24/7 · Auto repair, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, towing, trucking & property management · Long Island built
A 24/7 phone receptionist for trade shops.
When nobody picks up, most callers don't leave a voicemail. They just call the next shop on Google. Every missed call is a job that went to someone else. AI Always Answers picks up the calls your team can't, gets the caller's name, number and what they need, and sends it to you right away.
Founding price: $149/mo $199 · locked in for life · 30 days free · Cancel anytime
Guarantee: if your free month doesn't capture at least 3 real customer calls, your second month is free too.

Your team can't answer every call.
You don't lose jobs because you're bad at the work. You lose them because you were busy doing it. Many callers won't wait on hold or leave a voicemail. They just call the next business on the list.
The math, with example numbers
3 missed calls a week × $300 = $900 a week. That's what can walk out the door when each missed call is a job that goes to someone else.
Saving one of those jobs a month more than covers $199. Your numbers will be different, so plug in your own.

How it works
Nothing to install. You keep your phone number, and calls you don't pick up go to your AI receptionist.
A customer calls and you can't pick up
After hours, on your days off, or when every line is busy, the call goes to your AI receptionist instead of voicemail.
It answers like a real front desk
It gets the caller's name, number, and what's wrong, then reads it all back to make sure it's right.
It sends it to you right away
The caller's name, number and what they need, sent to you as soon as the call ends. Urgent calls are flagged so you see them first.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from voicemail or a regular answering service?
Voicemail only works if the caller leaves a message, and many don't. A live answering service has real people, which some businesses prefer, but it usually costs more and staff follow a script written for many kinds of businesses. AI Always Answers picks up 24/7, asks the questions your trade needs (like vehicle, no-heat/no-cool, or tow location), and sends you the details right away. It won't quote prices or diagnose problems, and some callers would rather talk to a person. Many shops use it just for after-hours and overflow calls.
What if I already have an answering service?
AI Always Answers can cover the calls your current setup misses, like after hours, weekends, or when every line is busy. Think of it as an extra layer of coverage for the calls your team can't get to.
Do I need a new phone number or phone system?
No. You keep your number and your phones. Your line forwards calls you don't answer to your AI receptionist, and we set that up with you.
Will my customers know they're talking to AI?
It sounds natural and doesn't announce itself, but if a caller asks, it says honestly that it's an AI assistant. Every caller also hears that the call may be recorded.
What happens when it doesn't know the answer?
It never guesses. It won't quote prices or diagnose problems, and it doesn't book appointments. It takes down the details and tells the caller your team will call them back.
What about emergencies?
Breakdowns, tow calls, and safety issues are flagged as urgent so you see them first. If a caller is in danger, it tells them to call 911. It doesn't dispatch anyone; your team decides what happens next.
Can I see what happened on each call?
Yes. Each call's details are sent to you right away, plus a private dashboard with every call.
What does it cost, and can I cancel?
Try it free for 30 days. Cancel anytime before your free month ends and you won't be charged a cent. The regular price is $199 a month. Founding offer: our first 5 shops pay $149 a month, locked in for life. Our guarantee: if your free month doesn't capture at least 3 real customer calls (name, number, what they need), your second month is free too. That includes up to 400 call minutes, about 130 calls. There's no long-term contract. See the full terms.
How does setup work?
We do a 10-minute setup call. We go over your business name, hours, the services you offer, and what you want callers told, then set up call forwarding with you and place test calls together before it goes live.
Which plans are free to start?
Only Answer, for auto repair, towing, HVAC, plumbing and electrical shops: 30 days free, then $199 a month ($149 for our first 5 founding shops). The trucking line ($199/mo), property management ($1.50 per unit a month, $199 minimum) and the $39/mo review-reply add-on have no free trial. See every price at our pricing page.
Is it really free for 30 days?
Yes. You add a card when you start, and you aren't charged during the first 30 days. Cancel anytime before your free month ends and you won't be charged a cent.
Are calls recorded? What about privacy?
Callers hear that the call may be recorded. Call details go only to your private dashboard and email. We don't sell caller information. See the privacy policy for details.
Do you serve businesses outside Long Island?
Yes. It works for any shop in the US that can forward calls. We're based in Centereach, NY, and set up every account personally, wherever you are.
What is the founding offer?
Our first 5 shops get $149 a month, locked in for life, instead of the regular $199, plus the same 30 days free. In exchange we ask for honest feedback we can share as a testimonial; any testimonial will say the shop got a founding discount. Spots go to our first 5 paying customers (shops still with us after the free month), and there's no deadline.
Does it work for towing companies?
Yes. It gets the exact location first (road, direction, and nearest exit), then the caller's name and number, the vehicle, where it's going, and whether anyone is in a dangerous spot. Callers in danger are told to call 911, and the call is flagged urgent. It never quotes prices or arrival times and never says a truck is on the way. A towing demo line is coming soon.
Can I get a demo with my own shop's name?
Yes. Fill out the demo form on this page with your shop name and trade, and we'll set up a demo line that answers as your shop so you can hear it before you sign up.
