Give auto repair callers a clear next step while your bays stay busy.
Organize service requests, drop-off questions and callbacks without promising an unconfirmed repair.
For businesses in the US and Gulf. Technicians cannot stop each job to answer. Repair-status calls crowd out new bookings. Callers expect a price before diagnosis. We scope the workflow with your team before building it.

See our agency portfolioYour questions.
Can it tell customers when repairs will be done?
Only repeat a verified update authorized for that customer. Otherwise request a staff callback.
Can it say a car is safe to drive?
No. Safety concerns need a qualified professional or the caller’s roadside-assistance route.
Can it work with Shopmonkey?
Shopmonkey is a booking-tool example, not a confirmed AI by 8 Digital integration. We need to check your plan, access and booking rules. Until a connection is tested, staff confirm requests.
What happens after closing time?
Collect next-day service requests and share approved drop-off instructions without exposing keys or codes. This workflow must be agreed and tested before launch.
What does the receptionist cost?
The draft launch offer is $1,500 setup plus $400 per month. Confirm currency, taxes, usage limits and any extra charges in your written quote before buying.
Will callers know it is AI, and can they reach a person?
The proposed greeting says it is an AI assistant. Agree a staff handoff and an out-of-hours fallback before launch. Recording and privacy wording need lawyer review.
How would you check AI visibility for auto repair shops?
Start with local questions such as: Which auto repair shops in your city service hybrid cars? Record the date, location, service and answer, then review gaps in your public business information. This is a draft audit method, not a result.
Does the audit guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us?
No. AI answers change and we cannot control them. The draft audit price is $490; scope, currency and taxes need confirmation. Any ongoing work is quoted separately.
