Your Phone Keeps Ringing While Your Hands Are Full
Running an auto repair shop means your hands are usually dirty, holding a wrench, or reaching into an engine bay. You can hear the phone ringing from across the shop, but you can't exactly drop everything mid-repair to answer it. And by the time you wipe off your hands and get to the phone, they've already hung up and called someone else. It's frustrating because you know you do great work—but customers can't hire you if they can't reach you.
You're in the middle of a timing belt replacement and the phone starts ringing
You can't just stop mid-job. Your hands are covered in grease, parts are laid out in order, and walking away could mean starting over. The caller gives up after a few rings and tries the next shop on their list.
A driver's car breaks down at 7 PM on a Tuesday night
They desperately need help and they're searching for a mechanic who can get them back on the road. Your shop would be perfect, but you closed two hours ago. By morning, they've already had the car towed to whoever answered their call that night.
Monday morning hits and your phone won't stop ringing
Every weekend breakdown, every check engine light, every strange noise that started on Saturday—they're all calling right now. While you're talking to one customer, three more go to voicemail. By the time you call them back, they've booked with someone faster.
Your Front Desk, Always Ready
Gets All the Details You Need
Your receptionist asks callers for their vehicle year, make, and model, along with what's going on with the car and when they'd like to bring it in. You get all this information sent to your phone instantly—so you can call them back ready to confirm the appointment instead of starting from scratch.
Knows When It's Urgent
When someone calls because their car won't start or they're stuck on the side of the road, your receptionist recognizes the urgency. They gather the essential details quickly and notify you right away so you can decide how to respond—whether that's calling back immediately or helping arrange a tow.
Asks the Right Questions
Instead of vague messages like 'car is making a noise,' your receptionist digs deeper. When did it start? What does it sound like? Does it happen when braking or accelerating? Your technicians get useful information before the car even rolls into the bay.
Never Closes
Car problems don't wait for business hours. When customers notice something wrong on their evening commute or during a weekend errand, they can call right then and there. Your receptionist takes their information so you can follow up first thing—before they've had a chance to call anyone else.

How It Helps Your Business
Real scenarios where our AI receptionist saves you time and money
Oil Changes and Routine Maintenance
The bread and butter of any shop. Your receptionist captures oil change requests, tire rotations, and scheduled maintenance calls with all the vehicle details, so your team can quickly confirm appointments and keep those bays turning over.
Breakdowns and Roadside Calls
When a customer is stranded with a car that won't start or just died at a red light, they need help fast. Your receptionist gets the location, what happened, and vehicle info—then alerts you immediately so you can decide how to help.
Check Engine Lights and Diagnostics
That mysterious dashboard light or strange noise needs a professional diagnosis. Your receptionist gathers what symptoms the customer is experiencing, when it started, and what makes it better or worse—giving your techs a head start before the car arrives.
Quote Requests
Customers shopping for repair quotes want quick answers. Your receptionist captures exactly what work they need, their vehicle information, and how to reach them—so you can prepare an accurate estimate and call back before they've moved on.
