The work between calls
Your team stays focused. Your pipeline stays moving.
Chimewrench handles the follow-through that is easy to miss on a busy service day, with a voice and workflow built around how contractors actually operate.
Missed-call recovery
When you can't pick up, Layla answers, takes down the problem, urgency and address, and books the next open slot. For salons, Layla books appointments right on your Chimewrench calendar; if you use another booking app, Layla sends you a request instead. Requests sent to another booking app stay pending until the owner reviews and confirms the next step.
The lead is still warm
Estimate follow-up
Review the queue, edit the prepared draft, then copy it and send it from your phone when an estimate is ready for a customer decision.
Maintenance reminders
Review due customers, edit the prepared draft, then copy it and send it from your phone when it is time to reconnect.

A note from the team
Chimewrench is built in Wilson, North Carolina, because small businesses lose customers when the phone rings while they're busy with someone in the chair. We set up every shop ourselves, and you can reach us directly at chimewrench@gmail.com.
