The eight areas in auto repair
- Marketing: AI writes Google posts about common failures on the exact cars you see most.
- Receptionist: AI texts customers back while your advisor is still on the phone with the next one.
- Estimates: AI pulls parts prices and labor times so estimates are accurate.
- Scheduling: AI slots express oil changes between the transmission jobs without losing bays.
- Invoicing: AI catches the upsells you approved but never added to the final ticket.
- Reviews: AI asks for reviews only after completed work, never while the car is still in the bay.
- Bookkeeping: AI shows true profit per bay instead of just overall car count.
- My Business: AI flags which service advisors are losing sales on the same menu items every week.
