WHO WE SERVE // AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR
AI systems for auto repair shops
Your techs make money in the bay, not on the phone. We build a front desk that answers every call and books the bay, status updates that stop the “is my car ready?” calls and follow-up that brings customers back for the next service.
THE SHORT ANSWER
What does The AI-Team do for auto repair shops?
The AI-Team builds and runs AI systems for independent auto repair shops. An AI receptionist answers every call 24/7 and books the bay, status texts stop the “is my car ready?” calls and estimates can be approved by text. Declined-work follow-up, maintenance reminders and review requests run automatically, with a monthly ROI report.

MISSION OBJECTIVES
Where auto repair shops lose money, and how we fix it
THE PROBLEM
The phone rings while everyone is under a hood
THE FIX
AI answers every call, captures the year, make, model and the problem and books the drop-off in an open bay.
THE PROBLEM
Customers call all day asking if their car is ready
THE FIX
Status texts go out automatically at check-in, diagnosis, parts arrival and ready for pickup.
THE PROBLEM
Estimates wait on approval while the car sits on the lift
THE FIX
Estimates go out by text for approval and e-signature, so the work starts sooner.
THE PROBLEM
Declined and deferred work is never followed up
THE FIX
Customers get reminders about the repairs they put off, timed to when they’re likely ready.
THE PROBLEM
Customers forget oil changes and maintenance
THE FIX
Date- and mileage-based service reminders by text, email and AI call bring them back, and review requests go out after every pickup.
FIELD MANUAL // SAMPLE AUTOMATED SOP
Check engine light to completed repair
This is an example of one standard operating procedure we turn into an automation. Every step runs on its own, and your team only steps in when a person is needed.
- A customer calls about a check engine light.
- AI collects the year, make, model, mileage and symptoms, books a drop-off and sends a confirmation text.
- After diagnosis, the estimate goes out by text and the customer approves it from their phone.
- Status texts go out as parts arrive, and a ready-for-pickup text includes a payment link.
- After pickup, the customer gets a thank-you, a review request and a reminder scheduled for their next service.

What we set up for you
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Questions we hear
Can the AI quote repair prices over the phone?
Only if you want it to. We set the rules with you: it can quote fixed-price services like oil changes or tire rotations and send diagnostic questions to a service writer.
Does it work with my shop management software?
Often, yes. The platform connects to other software through its integrations and API. Your free stack audit checks your shop system before we promise anything.
How much does an AI receptionist cost for auto repair shops?
Every plan has a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly fee. Squad fits solo owners and small crews, Unit fits growing teams and Command fits multi-location operators. Current pricing is on our Plans page, and a free 30-minute mission briefing estimates your return before you commit.
How long does setup take?
The first phase, your AI front desk plus missed-call text-back and follow-up, typically goes live within a few weeks. We map your services, booking rules and scripts with you, test everything, then launch on your existing phone number. Deeper automations are added over the following months.
Can the AI send repair status updates and estimate approvals?
Yes. Customers get status texts as the car moves from inspection to repair to ready, and estimates can be approved by text or e-signature, so cars are not left on the lift waiting for a callback.
