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.

A real call at Garage Lebreton Krown, step by step

A Krown customer called at 8:14 on a Thursday morning in October 2026. The Agent took the call in French and booked a tire change in under two minutes. Nobody at the shop had to stop working. Here is the call, translated, with the customer's name removed.

Hear the real call (in French, name beeped out):

AgentHello [name]. For English, press two. Which of your vehicles are you calling about: the 2018 Golf SE or the 2018 Volkswagen Golf?
CustomerThe 2018 Volkswagen.
Note 1: It knew the caller. A returning customer is greeted by name, with their vehicles already on file.
AgentThanks. What service do you need today? For example rustproofing, an oil change, tires, brakes.
Customer(unclear on the line) ...tires.
AgentJust to confirm, is it a tire change? Are your tires already on rims, or do they need to be mounted?
CustomerOn the rims.
Note 2: It checked instead of guessing. The answer came through garbled, so the Agent confirmed the job before going further.
AgentPerfect. Would you like to wait on site or leave the vehicle for the day?
CustomerWait on site.
Note 3: It asked what the shop needs to know. Tires on rims or not, waiting or drop-off: the details a service advisor asks before booking a tire change.
AgentThe first opening is October 15 at 11 AM. I also have 1 PM. Does either one work?
CustomerIs it possible to get a Friday or a Monday?
AgentYes. The next available Monday is October 19 at 9 AM. We're closed Friday afternoons. Would you like Monday at 9?
CustomerCould I book for October 26?
AgentThe first opening on October 26 is 8 AM. I also have 9 AM.
CustomerNine.
Note 4: It worked from the real calendar. Three different requests, three real answers, including the shop's Friday hours.
AgentYour appointment is confirmed for October 26 at 9 AM, and you'll get a confirmation text shortly. Thank you for booking with Garage Lebreton Krown. Can I help you with anything else?
Note 5: It booked and confirmed. The appointment went into the calendar and the customer got a text.

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.

N. 07

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.

N. 08

Based in Gatineau, working with shops in Ottawa and Gatineau

We set up and run the Agent for garages in Gatineau, Ottawa and across Quebec and Ontario. Your Agent speaks the way your customers do: Quebec French or English.

N. 09

Hear your shop's Agent before you decide

On a 30-minute call we play an Agent set up for a garage like yours, and you ask it whatever your customers ask.
