What changed for McIntyre’s Lawnmower & Locksmith Shop

The challenge

Two service lines. One legacy shop.

McIntyre's has served Westfield, NJ for generations: small-engine repair on one side, locksmith on the other. Two different customer types, two different sales cycles, one family-owned shop holding it all together.

The legacy operations relied on tribal knowledge and phone follow-up. The next generation needed a digital layer that captured both service-line customer bases and routed them appropriately.

The job: install a CRM that respects the dual specialty (small-engine repair on one track, locksmith service on another) with shared review velocity that fuels both.

01

Inbound Falling Through Cracks

Inbound came from phone, web, walk-in, and referrals, with no unified system to catch every lead and respond before the prospect bounced.

02

No Follow-Up Discipline

First-time customers came in, got service, and were never contacted again. The repeat-purchase lever was just sitting there unused.

03

Review Generation Ad-Hoc

Customers loved the service. Almost none of them ever wrote a review. The reputation engine was running on memory only.

04

No Operational Visibility

Owner-operator couldn’t see lead flow, response time, or conversion rate. Every decision was vibes-based instead of data-based.

Our approach

Three layers. Built for the category.

Niche local businesses win on response time and reputation. We built the engine that captures every inbound, books fast, and turns delighted customers into the brand’s most reliable acquisition channel.

01

Inbound Capture System

Phone, web, chat, and walk-in all feed one pipeline. Missed-call text-back, instant SMS confirmation, no leak between channels.

02

Booking + Follow-Up

Calendar links, automated reminders, and post-visit follow-up built into the journey. Repeat customers come back because the experience never gets dropped.

03

Reputation Velocity

Review generation automation that turns every great visit into a public 5-star. Local rankings improve. CAC drops. Compounding loop.

The results

Two specialties. One engine.
