Built for Oakland auto shop businesses

Your operations department

Never miss another auto shop job in Oakland.

Q: How fast does the AI Text Agent actually respond to customer messages?

Instantly. Customers texting during off-hours or while you're in the bay get replies within seconds, not hours. That speed matters in Oakland where service demand is constant and customers shop around quickly. It's the difference between booking the appointment and losing it to a competitor.

Q: Can the AI handle questions about my specific services and pricing?

Yes. We train it on your menu, labor rates, warranty terms, and availability so it answers accurately without guessing. It knows when you're booked, what you charge for a brake job, and how to push customers toward booking instead of just answering and disappearing.

Q: What if a customer asks something the AI can't handle?

It escalates to you with full context so you're never starting from zero. The AI also flags patterns—if three people ask about the same issue, you'll know there's a question worth adding to your FAQ. Over time, the agent handles more without your intervention.

Q: How much does this cost compared to hiring part-time front desk help?

Far less than a part-time employee, and it never calls in sick. You pay a flat monthly fee with no hiring, training, or payroll overhead. For shops in Oakland's competitive market, that efficiency margin often pays for itself in recovered bookings alone.

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.
