Built around your shop — not bolted on

By the time they hang up, the dead riding mower fixes is quoted, booked, and on the tech's phone.

Not an AI receptionist bolted onto someone else's software. DispatchNode prices from your mobile small engine repair catalog and rules, books the job on the board, collects Stripe, and the tech sees it on their phone.

Anatomy of a Lost Job

7:15 PM - Urgent Call

A landscaper calls about a commercial mower that won't start on a packed mowing day.

6:30 AM – No Answer

"Please leave a message or press 1 for..."

7:18 PM - Lead Hangs Up

Searches Google, hires a competitor who answers.

Bottom Line

Estimated Opportunity Lost

The Old Way:
Losing Repairs to Voicemail.

April dumps 200 calls for clogged-carburetor riding mowers onto a solo operator. By mid-May, the voicemail box is full, and 40% of those callers booked with a competitor who picked up the phone.

A customer says 'it won't start' over the phone. That symptom could mean a $4 spark plug, a $45 carburetor rebuild, or a $400 cracked engine block. A blind quote over the phone guarantees either lost money or a lost customer.

A technician needs a discontinued carburetor bowl gasket for a 2003 riding mower. Three hours of searching online parts catalogs for a $12 part burns an entire morning of billable labor worth $225.

Mobile Small Engine Repair — why missed calls hurt

Market reality

A homeowner pulls the starter cord on a generator 72 hours before a hurricane makes landfall. Dead pull, no spark. The hardware store is sold out of generators. The first mobile mechanic who answers the phone and can diagnose a varnished carburetor books a $150 emergency repair. Every unanswered call sends $150 to a competitor.

How Summit wins the job

A homeowner's portable generator won't fire 3 days before a forecasted hurricane. The AI agent answers immediately and runs a structured diagnostic: Does it have fresh fuel? Is the choke engaged? When did it last run? The answers—stale fuel and 14 months of sitting—point to a varnished carburetor. The system quotes a $150 emergency carb-clean-and-plug service and routes the van for a 7 AM strike the next morning. The technician's pre-route briefing specifies the exact carburetor rebuild kit and spark plug gap for that generator model. The tech drains the varnished fuel, sprays out the jets, installs a fresh plug, and fires the engine on the first pull. The AI agent immediately texts the homeowner a $75 fall winterization package offer, locking in off-season revenue before the generator sits idle again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the system pre-diagnose engine issues before dispatching the van?

The AI agent runs a structured diagnostic tree during the call: Does the engine crank? Is there fresh fuel less than 30 days old? Has the unit sat unused for more than 3 months? Each answer narrows the failure to a specific component. The technician's pre-route briefing lists the exact carburetor rebuild kit, ignition coil, and spark plug needed—eliminating return trips for missing parts.
