'Is my car ready yet?' — The most common call at your shop

How to automate status inquiries and pickup scheduling, saving 30 minutes a day.

About 25% of all calls at auto repair shops concern status inquiries about ongoing repairs and pickup coordination (Automotive Consumer Survey). Each of these calls interrupts the workflow for 3-5 minutes. An AI phone assistant provides automatic status updates, proactively notifies customers when their vehicle is ready, and coordinates pickup times — so the shop team can stay focused on the work.

Friday, 3:00 PM at the shop

Since this morning, Master Fischer has gotten five calls from customers all wanting the same thing: Is my car ready? Each time he has to crawl out from under a vehicle, wipe his hands, check the system, and update the customer. That's 25 minutes of interruption for information a system could have provided. And Mr. Weber, whose car has been ready since yesterday, still hasn't picked it up because he didn't hear the voicemail.
