๐Ÿ”ง AI Receptionist for Auto Repair

Keep Every Bay Booked, Every Call Answered

Ava answers calls while your techs work, handles the seasonal tire rush without breaking a sweat, and books service appointments 24/7, so you never lose a customer to voicemail again.

Sound Familiar?

Every auto repair shop deals with these problems. Most just accept them. There's a better way.

๐Ÿ”ง

Techs Can't Answer Phones

Your mechanics are under a car, not at a desk. Every missed call during a busy morning is a customer booking with the shop across the street.

โ„๏ธ

Seasonal Rush Overload

October and April hit like a wall: everyone wants winter tires or a spring tune-up at the same time. Your phone rings off the hook and half those calls go unanswered.

๐Ÿ’ธ

Estimate Calls That Go Nowhere

Callers want a quick quote, you spend 10 minutes on the phone, and they never book. Meanwhile, a real booking call is sitting on hold.

๐Ÿšซ

No-Show Appointments

A no-show on a lift is a $200+ revenue hole in your day. Without reminders, customers forget: and your techs stand around.

How Ava Helps Your Shop

24/7 Call Answering

Every call answered in under 1 second, even at 7 AM when your first tech is just arriving and the phone is already ringing.

๐Ÿ“…

Service Appointment Booking

Ava books oil changes, brake jobs, diagnostics, and tire swaps in real time. Checks bay availability, confirms appointment type, sends SMS confirmation.

๐Ÿ”

Estimate & Service Intake

Ava captures vehicle make, model, year, mileage, and the issue described, so your service advisor has full context before the car even arrives.

โ„๏ธ

Seasonal Campaign Handling

Run winter tire or spring tune-up specials? Ava promotes your current offers, books seasonal appointments, and handles the surge without swamping your front desk.

โ— Live Call

Caller

Hi, I need to get my winter tires swapped over before the snow hits. Do you have any appointments this week?
๐Ÿค–
Absolutely, tire changeovers are booking fast this time of year! Are you bringing your own tires and rims, or would you like us to store your summer set here?

Caller

I have my own set on rims. Just need them swapped and balanced.
๐Ÿค–
Perfect. For a tire swap and balance on four wheels, we're looking at roughly $80โ€“$100 depending on your vehicle. What's the year, make, and model?

Caller

2021 Toyota RAV4.
๐Ÿค–
Great. We have openings Thursday at 8 AM, Thursday at 2 PM, or Friday morning at 9 AM. Which works best?

Caller

Thursday 8 AM.
๐Ÿค–
You're all set. Thursday at 8 AM for a tire swap and balance on your 2021 RAV4. Can I grab your name and mobile number for a confirmation text?

Caller

Dave Kim, 905-555-0187.
๐Ÿค–
Thanks Dave! Confirmation text is on its way. Plan for about an hour. We'll see you Thursday morning!

October Tire Rush

The first snowfall warning hits and 40 people call in two days wanting winter tire swaps. Ava handles every call simultaneously, fills your booking slots in order, and tells overflow callers the earliest available date, no hold music, no frustrated customers.

๐Ÿ”ง

Diagnostic Intake

A customer calls about a check engine light. Ava captures the vehicle, symptoms, and urgency, books a diagnostic appointment, and flags it for your service advisor. The tech pulls the car's history before the customer even arrives.

๐ŸŒ™

After-Hours Breakdown
