of service calls go unanswered during peak hours
When every advisor is with a customer, the phone rings out. That's a missed oil change, a missed tire rotation, a missed relationship. Online booking means the phone doesn't have to ring.
a week on scheduling back-and-forth
Phone calls, voicemails, follow-ups. Your service advisors should be advising, not playing phone tag with customers trying to book a brake inspection.
per user, per month. That's what most shop tools charge
Add a service advisor, pay more. Hit a booking cap, pay more. Automotive-specific tools lock you into annual contracts and charge for features that should be standard.
One link for every service bay
Astrocal gives your shop or dealership a single booking page (or an embedded widget on your existing website) that handles your full service menu, all advisor availability, and deposits upfront. No app to download, no account required for customers.
Every service, every advisor
Set up your full menu (oil changes, inspections, tire rotations, test drives) with the right duration for each. Assign services to specific advisors or bays. Customers book the right slot at a time that's actually free.
Deposits reduce no-shows
Require a deposit at the point of booking via Stripe. If they cancel without enough notice, you keep it. Cancellation policy is yours to set.
Automatic reminders
Email reminders go out 24 hours and 1 hour before every appointment. Fewer missed appointments, without your front desk lifting a finger.
Your brand, not ours
Match your dealership's colours and logo exactly. On paid plans, Astrocal branding disappears. Your customers see your name, not ours.
Syncs with Google Calendar
Your Astrocal schedule and your Google Calendar stay in sync in real time. Block time for lunch or meetings and those slots close automatically.
Works on your website
Paste one line of code and the booking widget appears on your site. No redirect, no third-party page. Customers book without leaving your dealership's website.
Live before your next service appointment
See it live. This is a real booking widget.

Add every service you offer (oil changes, inspections, brake jobs, test drives) with the right duration and price. Assign services to specific advisors or service bays.
Share the link everywhere
Add it to your website, Google Business Profile, or email signature. Embed the widget directly on your site. Customers choose a service, pick a slot, and pay a deposit. No phone calls needed.
Keep your bays full
Reminders go out on their own. Cancellations free up the slot automatically. Your Google Calendar stays in sync. Your service advisors stop playing phone tag.
