Pear Australia Australia's Most Caring Telco
Mechanics · tyre shops · workshops

The next workshop answers if you don't.

If the phone rings out, they call the next place. Hosted-X puts the call on the people who can pick up. When nobody can — under a car, greasy hands, compressor on, doors shut — Aria takes a structured message and texts it to you so one call-back wins the job.

No lock-in · 90-day guarantee · Australian support.

Why the call dies

Hands dirty. Car on the hoist.
They've already dialled the next shop.

The phone is in the office. The work is in the bay.

Whoever is nearest the desk answers — or nobody does. The ring you can't reach is the job you don't get.

A queue they will not wait in.

Trade callers hang up fast. Thirty seconds of hold music and they've dialled the next shop on the map.

After hours a breakdown still needs a time tomorrow.

A voicemail box at 6pm Friday is a message nobody hears until Monday — if they left one at all.

Aria · Voicemail that is useful

Not “leave a message
after the tone.”

Aria answers when the bay can't. She works from your script and collects what you need to call back once and win the job.

Then: a text to the workshop with the summary, and an SMS to the caller — “We have your message. The workshop will call you back.” One call-back. Not six missed-call pings and a full voicemail box.

After hours: same structure, plus “we open at X” from your script. Nothing is marked booked-in unless the slot is real.

Hosted-X in the workshop

The office phone on the
people who can answer.

Ring group

Service desk plus the nominated mobiles. Not every handset in the building over a running engine.

Softphone in a pocket

The workshop number on the phone of whoever has clean hands — or on the advisor's desk. Same number, same greeting.

After-hours route

To Aria first, then to an on-call mobile if you want one. Set the hours once in the portal.

Missed-call SMS if Aria is off

The caller still gets a text: we missed you, reply here or we'll call back. Never a ring-out.

Second workshop

One platform, a number per shop. Overflow between them when one is slammed. One bill.

Recording on the office line

If you take authorities over the phone, record the office line with a spoken notice before the call connects. Kept in Australia.

Straight answer

We do the phone.
The job card stays in your workshop software.

Your workshop management software does the job card, the invoice and the parts. Pear does not replace it.

If that software can email or SMS, you can use it with Pear. We do not claim a named hook-up we do not have.

Why Pear

No lock-in. No day
of dead phones.

Questions workshops ask.

What if I'm under a car when they ring?
The call rings the service desk and the nominated mobiles first. If nobody picks up, Aria answers, takes a structured message — name, number, vehicle, what they need, when they can drop it — and texts it to the workshop. The caller gets an SMS saying the workshop will call back. You make one call when your hands are clean.
What does Aria actually take down?
Only what your script asks for: name and number, the vehicle (make, model, rego if they have it), what they need — service, tyres, a puncture, a noise, or a booked-in time — and when they can bring it in. Aria does not quote a price she was not given and does not diagnose the car. A person calls back to lock the job.
After hours / weekend breakdowns?
Same structure after hours. Aria takes the details and tells the caller when you open, from your script, so a breakdown on Saturday night has a time to aim for on Monday. If you want an on-call mobile instead, calls can route there first and fall back to Aria.
Tyre shop vs mechanical — same system?
Same system, different script. A tyre shop's Aria asks for size and whether it's a puncture or a set; a mechanical workshop's asks for the symptom and whether it's a service. You write the questions, we set them up, and you can change them any time.
Two workshops?
Yes. One platform, a number per shop. Each keeps its own greeting, ring group and after-hours rule. Calls can overflow between shops when one is flat out, and it's one bill and one Australian support team.
New handsets?
Not necessarily. Compatible existing handsets can be reused, and a softphone on a mobile does the job for anyone who is mostly in the bay. New Yealink handsets start from $285 to buy, or can be rented. We confirm what you have on the onboarding call.
