A 35-year shop owner built this.
Not some guy in Silicon Valley.
He got tired of watching good shops — shops that do great work — lose jobs to the chains down the road for one dumb reason: nobody answered the phone. So he built the AI team he wished he'd had twenty years ago.
Why I built this
My family and I built All American Paint and Body in San Diego and sold it to Crash Champions for $6 million — using the same systems the big chains run on. GetDandy puts those systems in every independent shop.
"GetDandy is the tool I wish I'd had when we were building our shop."
Your bays stay full — without hiring a service writer
GetDandy connects an AI team to your phone, texts, and Google listing. It answers, books, and follows up while you're under the hood.
Carrie answers every call
Picks up 24/7 in a natural voice, answers questions, and books the job straight onto your calendar — even at 2AM. Connects to Tekmetric, Mitchell, Shop-Ware, and Shopmonkey.
Brandi handles your reputation
Generates reviews after every job and keeps your Google Business Profile sharp, so you show up first when someone searches "auto repair near me."
Megan shows the money
See exactly how many jobs and how much revenue the AI booked — updated in real time. You only scale what pays.
This isn't an answering service
Answering services take a message. GetDandy books the job — it knows your services, your pricing, and your calendar, and it follows up until the estimate closes. 62% of missed callers never call back, and 83% of customers would rather text your shop than call in the first place — Carrie and Brandi answer both, instantly, every time.
Arizona Engine Rebuilding
"We were missing calls every afternoon while we were in the shop. Dandy picks up every one, answers the engine questions, and books the job before they call the guy down the street. It's making us money — I check the dashboard every day and see exactly how much. It is a no-brainer."

Questions, answered
Did an actual shop owner build this?
Yes. I grew up in the business — my family owned All American Painted Body in San Diego, and I helped run it day to day: answering phones, chasing estimates, managing techs, and fighting for every review we could get. What finally changed the shop was putting in the same systems the big consolidators had — real call handling, follow-up that never dropped, and a reputation engine that kept us at the top of the map. In 2023 we sold the shop to Crash Champions for $6 million in cash.
I built GetDandy so independent shops can run those same systems without hiring a marketing team or a front-desk crew. It's built from ten-plus years in a real shop, not a Silicon Valley guess at what shops need.
Will it sound like a robot to my customers?
No — it answers in a natural voice, knows your services and pricing, and hands off to you for anything it can't handle. Most callers can't tell.
Does it work with my shop management software?
Yes — GetDandy connects to Tekmetric, Mitchell, Shop-Ware, and Shopmonkey, so booked jobs land where you already work.
