Built for Oakland auto shop businesses

Your operations department

Never miss another auto shop job in Oakland.

Q: How long does it take to get the AI Receptionist live for my shop?

Setup takes 3-5 business days. We integrate directly with your existing scheduling system and phone line—no hardware, no complicated installation. Your first calls start routing through the AI within a week, meaning zero downtime for your Oakland location.

Q: What happens if the AI can't answer a customer's question about my services?

The AI recognizes its limits and transfers the call to you or your team with full context about what the customer asked. You're never blindsided. For routine questions—hours, pricing, appointment availability—the AI handles it solo. For complex diagnostics or estimates, you take over, already briefed.

Q: Does this actually work for a busy urban shop, or just quieter locations?

It's built for high-volume shops. During peak hours when you're slammed, the AI answers every call simultaneously—something no human receptionist can do. Oakland shops with multiple bays see the biggest win: 30-40% of calls get fully resolved without interrupting your technicians.

Q: How much does this cost compared to hiring a part-time receptionist?

You get 24/7 coverage instead of limited hours, plus zero turnover, no payroll taxes, and the ability to scale instantly during seasonal demand spikes.

You run the jobs. We catch every lead, do the follow-up you never have time for, and get you paid — so nothing slips through the cracks.
