AI virtual receptionist for workshops: every call answered without interrupting the work.

Designed for car repair workshops: it answers calls while your technicians work, whether they are bookings for a service, questions about the status of a repair or requests for a quote. It confirms the vehicle and registration against the customer record and never offers a time without a free bay.

Four calls your workshop gets every day

In a workshop, the phone rings while the whole team is working. These are the four most common calls.

“Is my car ready?”

It is the most frequent call in a workshop. If the workshop software is connected, the agent checks the repair status in real time and tells the customer. If not, it takes note and opens a request with an assignee and a committed date, so that the customer gets an answer on time.

A service appointment

The customer calls to book an appointment. The agent identifies them by their number, checks the vehicles in their record and confirms which one they will bring in, reading the registration aloud. Each service takes its real duration, and it only offers times with a technician and a bay available.

“It’s making a strange noise”

The customer’s description is recorded in their own words, with no incomplete summaries. A request is opened with its priority and deadline, and the technician reads the description before inspecting the vehicle.

Only times with a free bay

Lifts and bays are booked as resources. If they are all taken at that time, the agent does not offer it, even if the caller insists. When a time frees up, it becomes available again for the next customer.

What improves in your workshop from the first call

In phone handling, in the information your team receives, in the setup and in regulatory compliance.

On the call

It identifies the customer by their number, checks the vehicles in their record and confirms the vehicle and registration aloud before offering a time. It books, changes and cancels appointments on the real calendar and only offers times with a free technician and bay. It reads registrations letter by letter and phone numbers digit by digit, and if it is interrupted, it stops talking and listens. If the caller asks to speak to a person, it transfers the call to whoever is available at that moment.

In the panel

Every call is transcribed turn by turn, with what the agent looked up and how long it took to respond. The calendar has one column per technician, and lifts and bays are booked separately, as resources. Anything not resolved on the call goes to the requests inbox, with an assignee and a committed date set by the system: four hours if it is urgent, twenty-four if it is high, seventy-two if it is normal and seven days if it is low.

When you set it up

The agent is tested before it is published, and the panel shows the list of what is still missing before it can take real calls. The voice can be your receptionist’s, cloned from ten or twelve seconds of recording and with their express consent. For each piece of data that comes from your workshop software, you decide what the agent does with it: says it, says it only if asked, confirms the last four digits, uses it for identification or never discloses it.

What the law requires

When the call is answered, an announcement says that an artificial intelligence is answering, and it cannot be switched off (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Art. 50). Recording is off by default and, if you switch it on, it does not start until the recording notice has been played. You decide how long transcripts are kept, between seven days and three years. There are five access roles: anyone with view-only access sees sensitive data masked, and every time someone listens to a recording it is logged.

The bay and the lift are resources with their own hours, just like each technician. If there is no free technician or resource, the agent does not offer that time.

00:00Workshop agent

Good morning, you’ve called the workshop. You’re speaking to a virtual assistant powered by artificial intelligence. How can I help you?

00:07Customer

Good morning. I wanted to bring the car in for its service.

00:11Workshop agent

Certainly, Mr Arenas. Your record shows two vehicles: a Seat León, registration 1234 ABC, and a Renault Clio, registration 5678 BCD. Which of the two will you be bringing in?

00:23Customer

The León.

00:26Workshop agent

The 60,000-kilometre service takes about two hours on a lift. I can offer you Tuesday the 15th at nine or Thursday the 17th at half past eleven. Which day would you prefer?

00:39Customer

Tuesday.

00:42Workshop agent

Confirmed: Tuesday the 15th at nine, Seat León 1234 ABC, with Javier Ruiz in bay 2. I will send you a link in case you need to cancel it. Is there anything else I can help you with?

00:55Customer

No, thank you.

00:57Workshop agent

Thank you for calling, Mr Arenas. Have a good day.

A panel that speaks your workshop’s language

Customers, technicians and repairs. Real screenshots of the panel, unretouched.

Requests inbox of a garage in the panel: a quote past its deadline, brakes that are making noise again, a tow truck on the motorway and a customer asking about their car, each with the person in charge, its deadline and its priority.

The requests inbox

Every request the agent cannot resolve is recorded here, with an assignee and a committed date. Those closest to falling due appear first.

A garage’s call open in the panel: the notice that it was not recorded, the turn-by-turn transcript with how long each answer took, the agent’s lookups in the vehicles and the calendar, and the caller’s tone curve.

The call, turn by turn

What the customer said, what the agent replied, how long each response took and what it looked up to answer. If the call was not recorded, the panel says so.

Everything included for your workshop from day one

Up and running in 1 day and set up with your services, technicians and bays.

Lifts and bays as resources

Each bay and each lift has its own hours and is booked as well as the technician. Without a free bay, that time is not offered over the phone.

Technicians with their own hours

Each technician has their own hours, specialities and days off, and the calendar shows one column per technician.

Customer record with their vehicles

Make, model and registration number of each vehicle. The agent reads them from the record and confirms which one the customer will bring in before offering a time; if the customer is new, the record is created automatically.

Repairs and requests with deadlines

Anything not resolved on the call becomes a request with an assignee and a committed date: four hours if it is urgent, twenty-four if it is high, seventy-two if it is normal and seven days if it is low.

Services with their price

Each appointment keeps the price the service had on the day it was booked, even if your prices change later.

Payments and payment links

The agent sends payment links and takes card payments during the call. Only the last four digits of the card are stored.

Frequently asked questions about the virtual receptionist for workshops

Answers to the most common questions before you request a demo.

How does it know which car they are talking about?

From the customer record, which holds their vehicles with make, model and registration number. The agent recognises the number they are calling from, reads the cars in the record and, if there is more than one, asks which one they are bringing in and confirms it aloud before giving a time. If the customer is new, the record is created automatically with what they tell it.

Can it give a time if there is no free bay or lift?

No. Bays and lifts are set up as resources with their own hours, and an appointment needs a technician and a resource at the same time. If either is missing, that time is not offered, even if the caller asks for it. Your team can still assign it from the panel, and it is recorded as a manual assignment.

Can it say what a repair is going to cost?

It gives the price of the services on your price list, with the exact amount. If a repair is not on the price list, it does not make up a price: it records what the customer describes and opens a request with an assignee and a committed date so that your team calls them back with the quote.

Can it take payment over the phone?

It sends payment links and takes card payments during the call, and the payment is recorded in the panel with its description and status. Only the last four digits of the card are stored, and your payment gateway credentials are kept encrypted in a vault and are never sent to the browser.
