AI Automation for Auto Repair Shops

Auto repair shops get dragged down by customer status calls and delayed approvals. A focused portal can keep advisors, technicians, and customers aligned without replacing the shop system of record.

Before

Half my calls are 'is my car ready?' and bays sit waiting on approvals.

After

Customers approve by text and get updates automatically; bays keep moving.

Where automation helps

Start with the workflow that leaks the most time.

  • Text-based approvals with a timestamped decision trail
  • Automatic customer status updates tied to repair-order states
  • Advisor boards for pending approvals, bay status, and next action

Closest example

A repair-order portal for status updates and approvals

Most of your inbound calls are some version of “is my car ready?”, and every bay waiting on an approval callback is a bay not earning. This portal moves both onto the customer's phone.
