Every customer at the counter, understood.
Bookings, faults, prices, MOT results - garage conversations are full of detail that has to land exactly right. When a customer doesn't speak English, guesswork at the counter costs you time, trust and sometimes the job itself. Phone Interpreter puts a live interpreter on speaker in two rings, so the conversation just happens.
30+ languages. Answers in two rings. No contract, cancel any time.
The counter moment every garage knows
A customer arrives with a fault they can't describe in English. Your advisor points, mimes, types into a phone app that mangles the technical words. Ten minutes later nobody is sure what was agreed, the price was never confirmed, and the customer leaves unsure whether to come back. Multiply that by every Polish, Romanian or Portuguese-speaking customer in your area, and the language barrier is quietly costing you real work.
Where it earns its keep in your garage
Three conversations a day where the interpreter pays for itself.
Booking a service or MOT
The customer calls or walks in, you dial your interpreter line and put it on speaker. Dates, vehicle details and prices go back and forth clearly in both languages - the booking lands in your diary correct first time.
Explaining a fault and quoting
Brake discs, timing belts, advisories - the interpreter handles the technical vocabulary and repeats prices carefully as full spoken numbers, so the customer authorises work knowing exactly what they've agreed to.
Handing the car back
Walk through what was done, what's on advisory and when to come back. The customer leaves understanding their own car - which is what brings them back to you instead of the garage down the road.
How it works
No apps, no logins, no equipment. Any phone with a speaker.
Call your interpreter line
Your business gets its own dedicated number. Ring it from the desk phone or any mobile.
Name the languages
Say the pair you need, or just start talking - it recognises the language and confirms in seconds.
Talk through it
Put it on speaker. One person speaks, pauses, and the interpreter carries it across - both directions, as long as you need.
Questions from garages and MOT centres
Can it handle technical car vocabulary?
Yes. It interprets everyday mechanical language naturally - brakes, clutch, suspension, diagnostics, MOT advisories - in both directions. If a customer uses a local or slang word for a part, it translates the meaning rather than the literal word.
How do prices come across?
Prices are repeated carefully as full spoken numbers in the customer's language - never symbols or ambiguous figures - because a misheard price is the most expensive mistake at any counter.
Do we need any equipment?
No. Any phone with a speaker works - the counter phone, a mobile, a cordless in the workshop. Dial your interpreter number, put it on speaker between you and the customer, and talk.
Which languages do our customers get?
All plans include every language we support - more than 30, including Polish, Romanian, Portuguese, Lithuanian, Punjabi and Urdu, which garages tell us come up most at the counter.
