No-show follow-up for car dealers
Car dealerships know this one well: test drives get booked and then forgotten by the buyer. The no-show follow-up flow handles it for you, between test drives, trade-ins and finance paperwork. Reaches out to people who missed their test drive and offers an easy way to rebook.
The problems it takes off your list
- Test drives get booked and then forgotten by the buyer.
- Service customers aren't reminded when they're due.
What it looks like in practice
Say you run a small family dealership with a service bay. A buyer doesn't turn up for their test drive. That afternoon they get a friendly message with a link to rebook. They pick a new time and it appears in Google Calendar.
How it works for car dealers
Step by step, this is what the no-show follow-up flow does with your buyers.
- A test drive is marked as a no-show in Google Calendar.
- A kind message goes out that day.
- It includes a link to rebook.
- If there's no reply, one more message follows.
- You see who rebooked.
Tools it connects to
For car dealerships, I usually connect it to Google Calendar. It runs on Twilio, WhatsApp Business API and n8n behind the scenes.
Questions from car dealerships
Does the no-show follow-up flow work with Google Calendar?
Often, yes. Before building the no-show follow-up flow I check your Google Calendar account and plan, because some features depend on API access. If there's a gap for your car dealership setup, you'll know before you pay anything.
What happens if something breaks?
The no-show follow-up flow sends you an alert when a step fails, so it never fails quietly in the middle of a busy week. You can fix small things with the notes I leave, or add the care plan at $49 a month and I'll handle it.
What does the no-show follow-up flow cost to run each month?
Setup for the no-show follow-up flow starts at $300 while the launch offer is on, for car dealerships and everyone else. Tools like OpenAI, Twilio and n8n hosting usually cost $5 to $30 a month, billed to you directly. I'll tell you the exact number before we start.
