An auto repair shop runs on bays, not desks: the service advisor answering the phone is usually also writing up estimates, calling customers with updates, and checking cars in, all at the same time. Every call that goes unanswered during a job is a missed estimate, and estimates are how a shop fills its bay schedule for the week.
Everything here handles scheduling, estimates, and reminders. Diagnosis and repair recommendations stay entirely with your techs and service advisors.
AI solutions built for auto repair shops
AI Virtual Receptionist
A phone system that answers every call like your best front-desk hire would, minus the hold music, the missed calls, and the overseas call center script.
Learn moreAI Lead Follow-Up Automation
A lead contacted within five minutes converts dramatically better than one contacted an hour later. This system makes sure five minutes never turns into five hours.
Learn moreAI Virtual Teammate
Not a chatbot bolted onto your website. A dedicated AI that owns one specific role in your operation and runs it the same way every single day.
Learn moreAI Chatbot / Auto-Bot
Most chatbots read from a script. This one is trained on your actual business and can read a document, pull the right fields, and take the next step correctly.
Learn moreReview & Reputation Management
Your online reputation shouldn't depend on remembering to ask. This system asks at the right moment, and catches problems before they go public.
Learn moreInvoicing & Payment Follow-Up
Every invoice follows the same automatic path from sent to paid, so no one has to remember to chase a late payment.
Learn moreWhy this works for auto repair shops
- An AI receptionist can answer routine scheduling and estimate-status questions without pulling a service advisor off the phone with a customer already in the shop.
- Appointment and pickup reminders sent automatically cut no-shows and reduce cars sitting on the lot longer than they need to.
- Estimate follow-up (checking back in on a quote that hasn't been approved yet) is one of the highest-ROI, most-neglected automations in a repair shop.
Tools & integrations
The AI layer connects directly to the software auto repair shops already run on:
Frequently asked questions
What can it answer for customers?
Routine scheduling and estimate-status questions, so a service advisor isn't pulled off a customer who is already standing in the shop.
Does it follow up on estimates?
Yes. Checking back in on a quote that hasn't been approved yet is one of the highest-ROI automations in a repair shop, and appointment and pickup reminders cut no-shows.
Does it diagnose or recommend repairs?
No. It handles scheduling, estimates, and reminders. Diagnosis and repair recommendations stay with your techs and service advisors.
Which shop software does it work with?
Tekmetric and Shop-Ware, plus Vapi, Retell AI, Twilio, and Google Calendar.
How much does it cost, and how long does setup take?
Every plan can be live in under two weeks. Plans start at $199 a month for the Virtual Receptionist alone, $499 a month adds Lead Follow-Up Automation and Review & Reputation Management, and the complete system starts at $799 a month. Final pricing depends on call volume and business needs, and we confirm exact numbers on your first call.
