What the phone looks like for a Manchester dealership
Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester has a population of around 2.8 million, built on media, technology and a dense network of independent trades across ten boroughs. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a dealership working across the Northern Quarter, Salford and Didsbury most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A buyer who cannot reach you about a specific car simply rings the next dealer advertising a similar one.
Callwise answers on your own 0161 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Manchester dealerships ask us
Do we keep our 0161 number?
Yes. Your existing 0161 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Manchester customers reach you changes.
Do you work with dealerships outside Manchester?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Manchester and everywhere across Greater Manchester is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
When do buyers actually ring?
Evenings and Sundays, because that is when people browse listings. Those are exactly the hours most showrooms are closed or thin on staff.
Can it confirm a car is still there?
If your stock list is available to it, directly. Otherwise it takes the registration or stock number and gets an answer to the customer fast.
Will it discuss finance?
It explains what you offer in general terms and books the appointment. It gives no personal recommendation and no approval.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Manchester customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
