For auto repair shops

Auto repair marketing agency: keep the bays full with AI

Service advisors can't answer the phone while they're writing up a customer at the counter. AI answers, books the appointment and sends service reminders that bring customers back.

  • Appointments booked by AI
  • Service reminders that bring cars back
  • More reviews

The call that came in while you were under a car

A check-engine light comes on during a commute. The driver calls two shops from the car park. One rings out because everyone is in the bays. The other answers, asks the make and symptoms and offers tomorrow at 8. That shop gets the repair, and with good service, the next five years of maintenance.

Shops rarely lose customers on price. They lose them at the phone, and again six months later when nobody reminds the customer their service is due.

Three fixes, in the order we'd do them

Fix 1

Answer while the bays are full

The receptionist takes the vehicle details and symptoms, books the drop-off and tells customers your diagnostic fee and hours.

See AI Receptionist
Fix 2

Bring customers back

Service-due reminders, a thank-you after each visit and a review request.

See CRM & Marketing Automation
Fix 3

Win 'mechanic near me'

Service pages for brakes, diagnostics, tyres and inspections, a complete profile and steady reviews.

Compliance built in
  • Text replies and follow-ups only go to people who contacted you, with your business name and STOP to opt out (US carrier rules and Canada's CASL).
  • No AI cold calling. Outbound AI calls need prior consent in both countries (FCC ruling, via Cooley; CRTC).
  • Reviews are requested from real customers only. Fake or incentivized reviews break platform rules and consumer protection law in both countries.
  • Licence and insurance details in ads and on your profile are taken from your documents, never invented.
