Every call you miss goes to the next shop on the list
You answer the phone between jobs. Calls come in while your hands are in an engine, during lunch, after 5 and all weekend. Most callers won't leave a voicemail. They call the next garage on Google, and that shop gets the brake job.
During tire changeover the phone rings all day and nobody has a free hand. That is when a missed call costs the most. In Quebec, winter tires are mandatory from December 1, so November is the busiest month on a Gatineau shop's phone.

Why does this cost more than an app?
A low-cost app gives you the software. We give you a working system.
We set up the Agent around your shop, connect it to your calendar and test the booking flow. Then we watch calls and texts, catch problems and improve the system every week. You don't learn how to configure it, review failed calls or fix booking issues, and you never have to wonder whether it's working. You're paying for fewer missed jobs and less work for your team.
575 improvements made to our clients' systems since August 2026, 405 of them in October. Call flow changes, booking fixes, text corrections, routing updates and usage alerts.

What shop owners ask before they sign
Can an AI receptionist book appointments for my shop?
Yes. The Agent books straight into your calendar, picks a slot length that fits the job, and texts the customer a confirmation. You decide which jobs it can book and which ones it takes as a request for you to call back.
Will my customers know it's not a person, and will they hate it?
Some will notice. Most are happy someone picked up. Today an unanswered call goes to voicemail, which is already a recording, and most people hang up on it. The Agent books the job or takes a full message instead.
I already have someone on the phone. Why would I need this?
A person covers business hours and one call at a time. The Agent covers evenings, weekends, lunch and the second and third caller when the line is busy. It's backup, not a replacement.
What if a customer asks a technical question or wants a price?
You set the rules, the same way you would with a new receptionist. If you tell it not to diagnose over the phone, it won't. It takes the details and tells the customer you'll call back.
Will I stop answering my own phone?
Your phone can ring first. The Agent picks up only when you can't.
I'm not good with technology. Is this complicated?
We set everything up and keep it running. You get a text when someone books, and you look at your calendar in the morning. You keep your phone number.
Does it work with my shop software?
Bookings go into your calendar. Tell us what you use for work orders and we'll tell you on the demo call whether it connects.
How much does it cost?
A one-time setup and a monthly fee per location, with calls and texts included. No contract, and a 30-day guarantee. See Pricing, and why it costs more than an app.

Built for shops that run on appointments
It works best for independent repair and tire shops that book by appointment, or want to, and lose calls while the team is working. If nearly all your work is walk-in, tell us on the demo call. We'll say straight if it isn't a fit.
It is also done for you, unlike a cheap app you set up yourself:
We write the script
A cheap app gives you a tool and a blank page. We write what the Agent says from your services, your hours and your calendar.
We fix it
When a call goes wrong, you don't open a settings page. You tell us, and we change it.
We check the calls
We listen to how the calls went, so you don't have to, and you get a monthly report.

Hear your shop's Agent before you decide
