What calls look like for auto repair shops
Auto repair shops field a steady stream of calls that pull service writers away from customers at the counter: check engine lights, brake noises, oil changes, and people asking if their car is ready. Drivers with a problem usually call several shops and book the first one that gives them an appointment. The AI answers in your shop's name, captures the year, make, and model with the problem, and books the drop-off into an open slot.
Exact prices from your service menu
Add your service menu and approve it, and the AI tells callers the exact total for what they want, including several services at once, computed straight from your prices. Time-based charges you set, like an evening rate, are added automatically, and charges that depend on the job are mentioned instead of added silently. It never guesses a number. Until your prices are approved, it takes the caller's number so your team can text the price.
The details your team needs
For repairs that depend on a diagnosis, the AI captures what the caller needs and the best callback number, then alerts your team so nothing sits in voicemail.
Service appointments booked, reminders sent
Connect Google Calendar and the AI books service appointments into open times inside your hours without double-booking, then texts a confirmation and a reminder. Each service can have its own appointment length, so the AI only offers times where the whole appointment fits. Callers can call back to cancel or reschedule.
Every call in one place
Each call is logged in the built-in CRM with a transcript and summary, and returning callers are greeted by name. It never asks callers for a street address, since they aren't expecting anyone to come out. Sales pitches and robocalls are screened out.
Tire shops
Tire shop callers want to know if you have their size and how soon they can come in. The AI captures the vehicle and tire details the caller shares, answers questions about brands and services from your FAQs, and books the install or repair appointment. It doesn't check your tire inventory, so stock questions are taken as a message for your team.

FAQ
AI receptionist for auto repair shops: questions
Does the AI ask for the vehicle's year, make, and model?
Yes. When you pick an auto repair business type in setup, the AI captures the vehicle's year, make, and model along with the problem, and it never asks the caller for a street address since they're bringing the car to you.
Can it tell customers whether their car is ready?
It doesn't connect to your shop management system, so it won't read repair status. It takes the customer's name and number and texts your team so a service writer can call back, and it logs the call in the CRM.
