Booking & Missed-Call Recovery for Heavy Equipment Repair

Redline Revenue installs the full system for heavy equipment shops — tracked phone, missed-call text-back, online booking with vertical-specific intake, deposits, SMS reminders, and Google review automation. $397/mo flat. One hydraulic cylinder rebuild on a komatsu pc360 covers it.

Quick Answer

Heavy equipment shops need a booking system because gc calls about a cat 320 down on a job site and you can't get a tech there until tuesday — they go to the next number. Redline Revenue installs the full intake stack — missed-call text-back, online booking with vertical-specific fields, deposits, SMS reminders, and Google review automation — for $397/mo flat. $1,200–$8,000 avg tickets mean one captured job covers Defense by itself.

The Math

$1,200–$8,000 avg ticket × 1 job covers $397/mo.

Every job past that is pure upside. GC calls about a Cat 320 down on a job site and you can't get a tech there until Tuesday — they go to the next number.

What You Get

The full system, tuned for heavy equipment shops

When a gcs with equipment down on active job sites calls during a job, they get a text inside 60 seconds. When they pick a slot, they pay a deposit. Reminders fire. Reviews happen. You don't touch the phone unless you want to.

Custom-Coded Website

Built around your specialty — real schema, real trade vocabulary, your actual service list. Not a Lato-template auto repair site.

Booking Calendar & Quote Request Form

Customers pick a time, describe the job, and upload photos. Vertical-specific intake fields capture exactly what you need before you roll a truck.

Missed Call Text-Back

When you can't answer, an auto-SMS fires inside 11 seconds. The lead doesn't have time to call the next shop.

Automated SMS Reminders

Confirmation, 24-hour, and 2-hour reminders. Deposits at booking. No-show rate drops from 23% to under 4%.

Webchat + Tracked Phone

Chat bubble routes to your phone as SMS. Tracked phone number tells you which ad dollar booked which job.

Smart Review Routing

Happy customers go to Google for a public review. Unhappy ones route to a private feedback form. Your star rating compounds without public damage.

Why heavy equipment shops need a booking system

Heavy equipment downtime is brutally expensive — a Cat 336 excavator sitting idle on a road job costs the GC $1,200 a day in crew time alone, more if it puts the project behind on a liquidated-damages clause. That's why GCs and rental coordinators don't shop on price; they shop on speed. The mechanic shop or mobile tech who can confirm a yard call inside 30 minutes and roll a truck the same day wins the recurring work. Voicemail loses it.

The tickets justify a real intake system. A hydraulic cylinder rebuild on a Komatsu PC360 is $3,500. A final drive on a CAT 259D skid steer is $4,200. A full hydraulic pump replacement on a Bobcat T770 runs $6,800. One captured call covers Defense ($397/mo) for a year. The math doesn't work the other way: missing two yard-call requests a month is $7K of leaked revenue, every month.

Documentation matters here in a way it doesn't at a corner mechanic. GCs want photo documentation of pre-repair condition (insurance reasons), written estimates with line-item parts, and an end-of-job invoice with hours and tech notes. A booking system with photo upload, quote PDFs, and email-on-completion produces all of that automatically. Without it, you're either spending two hours a day in QuickBooks or losing the next bid because your paperwork was sloppy.

The structural pain we fix

  • GC calls about a Cat 320 down on a job site and you can't get a tech there until Tuesday — they go to the next number

  • Hydraulic cylinder rebuild on a Komatsu is a 3-day job and the customer wants daily SMS updates you don't have a system for

  • Insurance damage estimate on a backhoe needs photos, codes, and a written quote — voicemail can't capture that

  • Yard call for a skid steer with a bad final drive and the rental coordinator wants a quote in 2 hours, not 2 days
