The AI receptionist for auto detailing
An AI receptionist for auto detailing answers while you're buffing a hood or laying down coating. It picks up every call and text 24/7 in English and Spanish, gets the vehicle, condition and package, books the detail on your calendar, and texts you a summary of every call.
Call the receptionist and hear it for yourself.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you.The calls a detailer actually gets
Detail customers text and call at all hours and book whoever gets back to them first. These are the calls that come in while the polisher is running.
"How much for a full detail on an SUV?"
It asks year, make, model, size and condition, quotes from your package pricing and books the slot.
Ceramic coating and correction
A new car owner wants paint correction and a coating. It gets the vehicle, paint condition and timeline, asks for photos and books a consultation or drop-off.
Pet hair, smoke and spills
"My kid spilled a milkshake in the back seat." It notes the problem, asks for a photo and books an interior job with the right time block.
Mobile detail logistics
For mobile work it collects the address, whether there's water and power, and where the car is parked, then books the visit.
Why detailers put it on the phone
Keep your hands on the car
You can't drop a polisher mid-pass to answer. The receptionist picks up on the first ring every time.
Vehicle and condition up front
Year, make, model, size, pet hair, stains and paint condition come in a written summary before the car shows up.
Packages sold right
It walks callers through your packages and add-ons from your notes, so they book the detail that fits the car.
English and Spanish
Customers get answered in English or Spanish, by call or text, 24/7, including late-night shoppers.
Dealers and fleets put through
Set rules so dealership and fleet accounts reach you directly while retail customers get booked.
Same number
Your number gets ported in, so the number on your trailer, van and Instagram keeps working.
