Trade with a customer-facing business

AI automation for auto repair shops.

The phone never stops, appointments pile up, work orders have to be entered by hand. We automate call handling, appointment scheduling and job intake, so your technicians can turn wrenches instead of typing.

The bottleneck in the shop: the phone never stops ringing.

Six time-sinks every auto repair shop knows.

Missed calls while working under the car

The technician is under the lift, the phone rings, and rings. Every second caller eventually gives up and calls the competitor instead. New customers lost before they even make it into the file.

100% of calls answered, around the clock

Scheduling with limited lifts

Lift, technician, special tool, each resource has its own bottleneck. Book appointments without checking them against each other and you produce idle time or queues on the shop floor.

Real-time sync with the workshop planner

Work order intake

Record the problem, enter vehicle data, type up the diagnosis, capture labor items, for every single job. Time your technicians and front desk aren't spending on the actual work.

Order captured by voice, structured automatically

Invoicing and inspection certificates

Inspection and emissions certificates, test protocols, invoices with the right labor items and parts, every process is maintained separately, often twice or three times over.

Documents generated straight from the order

Parts ordering

Original part from the dealer or independent parts trade? Check three suppliers, compare prices, verify delivery time, per vehicle. It adds up to hours per week.

Automatic price comparison with delivery-time check

Customer communication

The vehicle is ready, the customer has no idea. Pickup was agreed, then no-show. Costs exceeded, nobody gave a heads-up. Customer loyalty breaks down over simple status updates.

Automatic status updates via SMS or WhatsApp

What we automate in auto repair shops specifically.

AI call handling with booking

The AI answers calls 24/7, asks for the vehicle, the issue and the preferred time, checks against the workshop calendar and books an appointment on the spot. Complex cases are handed off to the master technician.

Scheduling assistant

Lift availability, technician qualification and customer preference are matched up. The AI only offers slots where person, space and tool align, and avoids double-bookings automatically.

Voice-based order intake

At vehicle drop-off the technician dictates the damage, diagnosis and planned work, the AI structures the input, fills the required fields and creates the work order directly in the system.

Inspection reminders for regulars

Vehicles with an upcoming statutory inspection are identified from your customer base, and customers are contacted six weeks ahead by SMS, email or letter, with a direct appointment suggestion.

Parts price comparison

Enter the part number, the AI checks supplier portals and the open market, comparing price, delivery time and warranty. The parts manager sees a ready-made order list with a recommendation.

Customer emails on repair progress

As soon as a step is completed, the customer receives a clear message, „Diagnosis done, cost estimate to follow“ or „Vehicle ready for pickup from 4 pm“. Fewer questions at the counter.

Cost estimate from photos and diagnosis

The customer sends photos of the damage or the front desk takes them on site. The AI categorizes sheet-metal, glass and paint damage, estimates the scope of work and produces an initial draft for the cost estimate.

A typical case from the auto repair shop.

Independent auto repair shop, 8 technicians

A brand-independent business with a high share of regular customers and a steady flow of new ones. Before the project: call volume was simply too high, an estimated 25% of all incoming calls went unanswered because the front desk was busy at the counter or nobody was free. Scheduling effectively tied up half a full-time role, and conflicts between lift and technician availability came up daily.

After the rollout: the AI call handling now takes calls around the clock, suggests appointments from the workshop calendar and captures vehicle data and the customer's description directly. The customer gets a booking confirmation by SMS while still on the call. Complex issues, such as engine noises or unclear symptoms, are forwarded to the master technician with a complete note.

Everything from a single source.

Consulting

We analyze your phone, scheduling and order processes with the front desk, master technician and parts service. A clear list: which lever delivers the most, where it pays to start.

Development

We build the solution to fit your workshop software, phone system and DATEV/lexoffice connection. Pilot in weeks, not months.

Operations

After go-live we stay on board. Adjusting the call scripts, maintaining the scheduling rules, training your team.

How a project runs with us.

02

Pilot project

One concrete use case (e.g. AI call handling) live in 4-6 weeks.

03

Integration

Connection to workshop software, phone system and accounting, no parallel worlds.

04

Scaling

Roll out further use cases from your priority list.

Questions from the auto repair shop.

Yes. The AI captures the problem description, categorizes it by urgency and complexity, and books simple jobs (oil change, tire change, inspection) directly. Critical cases, engine noises, brake problems, unclear symptoms, are passed to the master technician as a note, including a callback number and time window.
The AI has real-time access to your workshop planner, lift availability, technician time, special-tool availability. It only offers slots where all three resources line up. Double-bookings or appointments without a free lift are ruled out.
Yes. Both systems have documented interfaces the AI uses to create work orders directly, pull vehicle data and enter appointments. We also connect Autoflex, Carmacs and older installations, typically via the existing API or CSV exports.
For common damage types, sheet metal, glass, paint, the AI delivers very usable preliminary estimates. For engine and transmission damage, the photo analysis serves as an initial orientation; the final cost estimate is produced as before, after visual inspection and diagnosis by your master technician.
A monthly flat fee in the three-figure range plus a one-time setup for integration and configuration. The exact range depends on the number of use cases and the complexity of the system integration. We name the figure in the first call, once we have briefly seen your systems.

Let's talk for 30 minutes.

By the end you'll know whether AI automation pays off for your auto repair shop, and if so, where the best entry point is.
