Incoming Call...
Customer
"Hi, I need a full detail for my SUV. How much does that cost and when can you fit me in?"
AI Receptionist
"Our full SUV detail is $249 and includes interior/exterior wash, wax, and protection. I have Thursday at 10 AM available. Should I book that for you?"
✓ Appointment Booked • Thursday 10 AM
You're losing customers every day your bays sit empty. Car owners call after hours, no-shows waste your time, and your team can't keep up. There's a better way.
Someone needs a detail before their big event, calls at 7 PM, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked with a competitor who answered immediately.
While you're applying ceramic coating, three more calls come in. Booking requests, service questions, pricing inquiries—you can't be everywhere at once. Customers get frustrated waiting, and you lose appointments.
You block out your bay, prep your supplies, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty slot.
