What do you do when the car repairman wants to call/text you when the car is finished? Or any other similar situations?

I use VOIP numbers for that. One per business.

No car.

But in general, email.

I can make calls from my phone/laptop, using VOIP.

I could receive as well if I wanted to, but I rarely need to be called, so I do not normally keep a number, and I could not be called when out and about anyway, because wifi-only, but you do get an answerphone, so people can leave a message.
