AI phone receptionist
Books oil, brakes, diagnostics, and general service appointments against your hours and bay capacity rules—and captures year/make/model and concern notes for the advisor.
Auto Repair
AI Receptionist for Auto Repair Shops
Your advisors are writing estimates while the line lights up with “is my car done?” calls. Every status check that steals a bay conversation is a delayed RO—and every missed booking ring is a vehicle that goes to the shop down the road.
The problem
Auto service phones mix high-value appointment requests with repetitive status checks. Without deflection and booking automation, the desk becomes a call center and the shop loses throughput.
- Appointment requests during peak drop-off hours hit hold or voicemail while advisors check in cars at the counter.
- Status-check calls (“Is it ready?” “Did parts land?”) interrupt technicians and advisors dozens of times a day.
- Reminder gaps create no-shows for alignments, diagnostics, and fleet slots you already reserved on the board.
- After-hours breakdown callers need a next-day appointment or tow guidance—not silence until the writer unlocks the door.
What we install
An AI receptionist that books service appointments, answers routine status questions from rules you set, and runs reminders so the desk stays focused on vehicles in the bay.
Status-call deflection
For in-progress ROs, the agent can share the status language you authorize (or push callers to a text/portal update) instead of pulling a writer off a customer at the counter.
Reminder automation
Appointment reminders and follow-ups reduce no-shows and bring deferred work back when the customer is ready to schedule.
Missed-call text-back
Anyone who cannot get through gets an SMS with booking options so a broken-down driver still puts a hold on your schedule.
How it works for auto repair
1. Set services, hours, and status rules
We load what you book over the phone, after-hours messaging, and what the AI may say about vehicle status versus what must stay with an advisor.
2. Connect the appointment book
Slots sync to your calendar or shop system where supported. Advisors get vehicle details and concern notes with every new appointment.
3. Keep writers on the counter—and the bays moving
Routine booking and status deflection drop off the human queue. You review transcripts and tighten scripts around the jobs that make you money.
Auto Repair FAQ
Only from rules and data you approve—or via text/portal deflection. It will not invent ETAs; uncertain cases route to an advisor.
We map appointment types to durations and bay rules you provide so mornings do not get overbooked.
The agent collects vehicle and location basics, shares your tow or next-day guidance, and books the next available slot.
Shops that confirm appointments see fewer empty slots. Timing and channels match how your customers already communicate, with opt-out handling.
Most multi-bay shops choose Mercy Growth. Single-bay shops sometimes start on Starter.
