Sectors
Motor Trade
The motor trade operates across long hours, high customer expectations, and time-critical situations. Whether a customer is enquiring about a new vehicle, booking a service, chasing a repair update, or calling for roadside recovery at the side of a motorway at 2am - every call matters, and every call needs answered.
Hub NI provides tailored call handling and customer contact services for motor trade businesses of all sizes - from single-site dealerships to national recovery networks. Our agents are trained to represent your brand professionally, capture the right information accurately, and escalate urgent situations without delay.
For recovery operators in particular, 24/7 availability isn't optional - it's the service. Hub NI acts as your always-on dispatch and call handling partner, ensuring drivers in distress are always met with a calm, professional voice and swift action. For showrooms and garages, we provide overflow cover, out-of-hours answering, and sales enquiry capture so no lead is ever lost to a missed call.

Professional call answering for vehicle sales enquiries, test drive bookings, and part-exchange requests - in your dealership's name, every time.

Evening, weekend, and bank holiday answering so customers and recovery callers always reach a person - not a voicemail.

Any Questions? We’ve Got This
If you’re thinking it, someone already asked it and we’ve answered it here.
Can Hub NI answer calls in our dealership's name?
Yes - our agents answer every call professionally using your business name, following a script tailored to your brand and processes. To your customers, we are a seamless extension of your team.
Do you provide 24/7 cover for recovery operators?
Absolutely. For recovery companies, around-the-clock availability isn't optional - it's the service. Hub NI provides 24/7 call handling and dispatch support, ensuring drivers in distress are always met with a calm, professional response regardless of the time.
Can you handle service and repair booking calls for our garage or dealership?
Yes. Our agents can capture booking details, take customer information, and relay appointments directly to your service team in real time - by email, SMS or integrated directly into your system.
We already have a reception team - can Hub NI just handle overflow?
Absolutely - overflow is one of our most popular arrangements for motor trade clients. We step in seamlessly when your team is busy, on another call, or unavailable, so no enquiry is ever missed.
What happens with urgent recovery calls out of hours?
Urgent calls are triaged and escalated immediately to your on-call team or driver - following a process we agree with you in advance. Nothing is left to voicemail when it matters most.
How quickly can Hub NI be set up for our business?
Most clients are up and running within a few days. We'll agree your call script, escalation process and any system integrations with you upfront, then handle everything from there.
Do you handle customer contact beyond phone calls for motor trade businesses?
Yes - Hub NI supports motor trade businesses across multiple channels, not just voice. We can manage live chat on your website, WhatsApp enquiries, and AI-powered digital messaging for routine queries such as opening hours, service availability, and booking confirmations. For recovery operators, voice remains the primary channel, but for showrooms and garages looking to engage customers digitally, we offer a fully hybrid solution that combines AI automation with live agent support — seamlessly handing over to a real person when the conversation needs a human touch.
