Can the AI provide repair cost estimates?

Yes. Based on the vehicle make, model, and described issue, the AI provides price ranges from your configured service menu — oil change, brake pad replacement, diagnostic fee — while noting that final pricing depends on inspection.

Does the chat collect vehicle information before the appointment?

It does. Year, make, model, mileage, VIN (optional), and a detailed symptom description are gathered through conversation so your team is prepared when the vehicle arrives.

Can the AI handle appointment updates and status checks?

Absolutely. Customers message to check repair status, approve additional work, and get notified when their vehicle is ready for pickup — all through the chat channel.
