Common Scheduling Challenges for Auto Repair Shops

Mechanics can't answer phones when they're under a car
Customers unsure what service they need, causing scheduling confusion
Empty service bays from no-shows and last-minute cancellations
Lack of vehicle info before arrival slowing down service intake
Oil change customers and major repair jobs competing for the same slots

How AI Solves These for Auto Repair Shops

1

Symptom-Based Booking

Customer says 'my brakes are squealing and the car pulls left.' The chatbot identifies a likely brake service, estimates duration, and books the appropriate bay and time.

2

Vehicle Info Collection

The chatbot collects year, make, model, mileage, and VIN before arrival — so your techs can pull up service history and order parts in advance.

3

Service Bay Optimization

Different jobs need different bays and time blocks. Oil changes get 30-minute quick bays; transmission work gets full-day lifts. The AI schedules accordingly.

4

Drop-Off Instructions

Automated confirmations include drop-off time, key drop location, shuttle info, and estimated completion — reducing morning check-in chaos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the chatbot collect vehicle information?

Yes. It asks for year, make, model, mileage, and a description of the issue. This info appears in the booking so your team is prepped before the car arrives.

Does it handle different service types and durations?

Yes. Oil changes, brake jobs, diagnostics, and major repairs each get their own event type with unique durations, bay assignments, and pricing.

Can customers get estimated costs during booking?

Yes. Set price ranges per service type that the chatbot shares during booking. Final quotes are provided after inspection, but estimates set expectations.
