Risacare.
For independent auto shops

An auto repair answering service that texts back — day or 2am tow-in.

Every unanswered call is a brake job that goes to the shop down the street. When you can't pick up, Risacare catches the miss: the caller hears a short greeting, and your booking link is already in their texts — from your number, in seconds, any hour.

Why independent shops pick Risacare

No per-minute fees

Flat $79/mo with no per-call or per-text charges. Never a surprise bill after a busy week.

The text beats the voicemail

No callback scrawled on a service ticket — the caller has your booking link while the missed call is still warm.

Replies reach you, not a call floor

When the caller texts back, it lands in your leads with their number and you get an alert. You call back; nobody reads a script at your customer.

From your number, carrier-verified

Texts send from a real local number registered to your business (A2P — the carrier registration that keeps your texts out of spam), with STOP and HELP handled automatically.

Auto repair FAQ

What happens when I miss a call mid-job?

The caller hears a short professional greeting — thanks for calling, we've just texted you a link to book — and the text is already on their phone, sent from your business number.

What about tow-ins after hours?

The text back goes out instantly either way. It doesn't capture year/make/model or where the car's being dropped — the caller's reply lands in your leads with their number, so you can call back for the details.

Does it work with Shop-Ware, Tekmetric, or Mitchell 1?

Risacare doesn't sync with shop management software. The text back carries your booking link, and any reply lands in your Risacare leads — you enter the job in whatever tool you already use.

Can it quote 'how much for a brake job?' callers?

No. Risacare doesn't quote prices or answer questions — it just gets the missed caller a text back. Quoting stays a conversation you have on the callback.

How does it handle warranty and insurance callers?

It doesn't sort or transfer calls — every missed caller gets the same text back. You handle warranty vs. insurance on the callback, same as always.
