A FEW THINGS BEFORE WE GET UNDER THE HOOD

Good questions. Straight answers.

How does it help us stop missing customers while we’re working?

Your AI receptionist answers calls while your team stays focused on repairs. It gathers the caller’s name, contact details, vehicle, and reason for calling, so a new customer’s request does not get lost while everyone is busy.

How can it help turn more calls into booked work?

It answers service questions using your shop’s approved information, captures estimate requests, and helps callers take the next step toward an appointment. Your team can follow up with the details already collected, instead of starting over or chasing missed calls.

Can it help organize our appointment schedule?

With live booking configured, it checks availability and books within your shop’s appointment rules. It can also collect preferred times and service details for your team to confirm, keeping appointment requests clear and easier to manage.

Can it handle customer questions without interrupting a mechanic?

It can answer routine questions about your hours, location, services, and shop policies using information you approve. Questions that need a technician’s judgment or a confirmed repair update are passed to your team for follow-up.

Can it help with repair quotes over the phone?

It collects vehicle details, symptoms, and the service requested. It can share prices you approve; when a diagnosis or inspection is needed, it gathers an estimate request for your team to review. Your shop stays in control of repair pricing.

Can it keep customers updated about appointments and pickup?

Appointment reminders and booking details can go to a customer’s regular phone. Vehicle-ready messages and pickup confirmations can be set up around updates approved by your staff, so customers know the next step without repeatedly calling the shop.

How does it make customer follow-up easier?

It collects the caller’s contact details and reason for calling, including the vehicle, requested service, and preferred appointment time. That gives your team useful context when following up on a new inquiry, estimate request, or customer question.

Do we have to use John’s voice?

No. John is only the demo voice. You can choose another available voice and customize the greeting, tone, and conversation flow to suit your shop. We’ll help you choose and test it during setup.

What do we need to get started?

Bring your service list, business hours, appointment rules, approved pricing, and common customer questions. We use those details to tailor your receptionist, then let you test real shop scenarios before it starts answering your calls.
