Program description
AutoHound sends SMS text messages on behalf of collision repair shops to their customers about vehicle repairs: status updates, pickup notifications, appointment reminders, and two-way replies to customer questions.
Opt-in
You receive messages only after providing your mobile number and consent to your repair shop (typically at vehicle drop-off), or after texting the shop first. Consent is not a condition of purchase or service. See how opt-in works for the full process.
Message frequency
Message frequency varies with your repair — typically a few messages over the course of a repair order.
Fees
Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier plan.
Opt-out and help
Reply STOP at any time to cancel and stop receiving messages. Reply START to re-subscribe. Reply HELP or contact your repair shop, or AutoHound at (888) 477-0652 or help@autohound.io, for assistance.
Carriers
Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Supported carriers include all major U.S. networks.
