Your phone rings when your hands are full
A detail takes hours. Your hands are in the seats, the paint or the coating, and the phone rings. If nobody answers, the customer calls the next shop. Some of those calls are quick questions. Some are your next big job.
Detail My Ride is an Ottawa detailing shop that also does ceramic coating, paint protection film, tint and wraps. Its team is on the cars all day. From October 3 to October 30, 2026, the Agent answered 281 calls over 28 days, 65 of them on a weekend. These are calls over 3 seconds, with our own test line left out.
Detail My Ride's callers speak English, French and Arabic. The Agent answers in English, and a caller who presses 2 gets French. Pressing 3 gets Arabic. Each call runs in one language. The details are on our bilingual answering service page.
Each caller asks for something different. Some want a price, some want to book, and some want a quote for ceramic coating or a wrap. The Agent texts the shop's own prices and a booking link, books the job when it can, and takes a full message for work that needs a quote.

What happens when a customer calls
Here is how a call goes at Detail My Ride. The call rings the shop's team first. If nobody picks up, the Agent answers and asks what the caller needs. For a booking, it adds the job to the shop calendar and sends a confirmation text. For a quote, or a question it can't answer, it takes a full message and the team calls back.

What detailers ask before they sign
Can an AI receptionist answer my detailing shop's calls in English and French?
Yes, with one language per call. The Agent greets in the language you choose, and a caller who wants another one presses a key. At the Ottawa shop, English comes first, 2 is French and 3 is Arabic. Texts after the call go out in one language too. For the full picture, see our bilingual answering service page.
Can it give prices and book my packages?
It texts the prices you set and books standard details into your calendar. For work that needs a quote, like ceramic coating, paint protection film or wraps, it takes a full message and your team calls back.
What if my week is full and I can't take more jobs?
You decide what the Agent books. When you are full you can limit it to certain jobs and have it take a message for the rest. Tell us and we change the rules for you.
What if a caller wants the owner or a person?
You set the rule. The Agent can ask who is calling and why, then try to transfer the call to you. If you don't pick up, it takes a full message so you can call back.
How much does it cost?
You pay for setup once, then a monthly fee for each shop location. You sign no contract, and a 30-day money-back guarantee covers your first month. The Pricing page lists the fees.
What is the 7-day Call-Leak Check?
It is a free 7-day test. Our Agent counts the calls your shop misses, and setup takes 5 to 10 minutes. Read how the 7-day Call-Leak Check works.
Do you work with detailers in my city?
Yes, in Ottawa, Gatineau and across Quebec and Ontario. The Agent answers your shop's phone line, so the city makes no difference. We build the same Agent for garages: see our AI receptionist for auto repair shops page.

Detailers it suits, and ones it doesn't
It fits detailing, coating, paint protection film, tint and wrap shops where the team has its hands on a car when the phone rings and the work books by appointment, or could. It also fits a shop whose callers speak more than one language and has nobody to answer in one of them.
Maybe someone at your desk already picks up every call, from opening to closing and after hours too. Then you may not need us, and we'll tell you that on the demo call.

How we set it up for a detailing shop
We build each Agent from the shop's own services, hours and calendar, then update it when those change. Detail My Ride in Ottawa is a client, and so are garages in Ottawa and Gatineau. Running an auto repair shop? See our AI receptionist for auto repair shops page.
