Brooke, in plain English.

She answers your phone around the clock, knows your shop and your customers, books straight into the system you already run, and stays inside the rules you set. Here is the whole thing, top to bottom.

Everything she does

One AI, the whole front desk

Calls

How does she answer the phone?

She answers every call, day or night, and never sends a caller to voicemail. After hours she picks up right away. During business hours she waits about 30 seconds, roughly six rings, before she answers, so your team gets first crack at the calls they want to take. If nobody at the counter grabs it, she does.

She sounds natural and professional. She knows your hours and your holiday closures, so she never tells a caller you are open when the doors are locked. And anyone who wants a person can reach one.

Recognition

How does she know who is calling?

Before she says her first word, she quietly looks up the caller ID in your shop's own system. If it is a returning customer, she greets them by name, sees the vehicles on their account, and can pull up their recent service. She is reading your live records the same way your advisor would, so she is never starting from zero on a regular.

If the lookup ever comes back empty or the number is not on file, she simply treats it as a new customer and moves on. Nobody gets a false "welcome back," and the call never freezes.

Booking

Where do the appointments go?

Straight into the shop management system you already run, in real time, the moment she books them. Not a side spreadsheet. Not a calendar somebody re-types in the morning. Not a sync that catches up overnight. Your advisor opens the system and the appointment is already there.

She reads that same system on every call and writes back to it. She can book, she can change an existing appointment, she can add a service to one, and she can cancel, all by phone.

  • Real appointments, not a copy. Bookings land in your system as real work, so there is no double entry and nothing to reconcile later.
  • Books up to 30 days out. Every lookup gives her your next 30 days: how full each day is, which waiter slots are open by the hour, and everything this customer already has scheduled.
  • Follows your capacity caps. You set the limits, per shop: how many waiters a day, how many in any one hour, how many drop-offs, how far ahead you will book. She follows whatever you set and never overbooks. If a slot is taken, she offers the open ones around it. If a date is past your booking window, she tells the caller the latest day she can get them in and offers an alternative.
  • Knows a waiter from a drop-off. She keeps a list of the quick jobs a customer can actually sit and wait for, an oil change, a rotation, a battery, an air filter, a bulb, your inspection. Anything bigger she flags as a several-hour job and warns the caller before she books them as a waiter, then still books it if they want to wait. She never quietly puts someone in a chair for a job that takes all afternoon.
  • Adds a service without double-booking a tech. "While I'm in, can you check my brakes?" becomes a change to the existing appointment, not a second booking, so your bay is never accidentally scheduled twice. The original request is kept and the note is added on top of it.
Real calls

How does she handle the calls a shop actually gets?

The calls a shop actually gets are messier than any script. Somebody dropping a car off after you have closed, or on their way in to grab theirs. She has a specific, deliberate way of handling each one, worked out on real calls at our own shop.

A night drop after you have closed.

If your shop has a night drop box, she reads your exact drop-off instructions, word for word, and books the job for the next day you are actually open, not the evening the keys go in the slot. A Friday-night drop over a closed weekend books for Monday. Shops without a night drop never hear it offered.

Someone on the way to pick up their car.

She catches that it is a pickup, not a new appointment, and pings your team herself with a clean note. During hours that is "on the way, about ten minutes out, here is the vehicle." After hours she asks once whether the pickup was pre-arranged and tells the caller honestly that nobody will be there to hand over keys, then leaves a note for the morning. She never says "see you soon" to a locked shop.

Safety

What if a caller's car is unsafe?

Safety comes before anything else, every time. If a caller mentions overheating, smoke, a burning smell, brakes that feel wrong, or steering gone hard, she tells them to get the car safely off the road and shut it down before she does anything else. No booking, no transfer, no questions first. The safe-stop comes first.

Then she explains plainly why it matters, including the honest cost risk of driving on, and points them to towing that the customer arranges and pays for. If they are already a customer, she offers a drop-off, never a waiter, because the car is in trouble, and she flags the note as urgent so your team sees it. A safety call always leaves a message for the shop, even when she also booked the drop-off, and she never tells a stranded caller everything is fine. A new caller stuck on the roadside gets one quick question and an honest "I won't keep you while you're dealing with this."

Transfers

Can callers still reach a real person?

Yes, always. Anyone who asks for a person gets transferred to your shop's main line. The request interrupts whatever she is doing the moment she hears it, so a caller never has to fight through the AI to reach a human.

After hours she is honest instead of theatrical. She does not fake a transfer into an empty office. She says nobody is in and offers to take a message for first thing in the morning. And she is built so no caller ever ends up stranded on the line.

  • No dead air if a transfer fails. If the transfer does not connect, she comes back with "looks like everyone's busy, let me take a quick message," instead of leaving the caller hanging.
  • No caller left in limbo. If a transfer bounces back unanswered, she recognizes the same caller instead of greeting them again as new, offers to take a message or try once more, and flags it so your team knows a human already missed this one. She will not loop it forever.
Pricing on the phone

How does she handle price questions?

Exactly how you tell her to, and you pick one of two modes. In the strict mode she quotes nothing at all: every price question becomes a callback for an advisor, and she has a polite way to hold the line with a caller who keeps pushing. In the other mode she quotes only from a list of prices you approved, reads the exact number, says the disclaimer you require, and then offers to book.

  • Strict no-quote mode. She states no prices. Every "how much for a timing belt" turns into a message for your advisor, with a calm script for callers who press.
  • Owner-approved list mode. She reads one exact price from the list you gave her, word for word, adds the disclaimer you set, and offers to get them on the schedule.
  • No guessing, ever. No ballparks, no "around" or "starts at," no comparing to a number the caller throws out, and she never reads a price off an old invoice. If it is not a price you handed her, she does not say it.
Messages

What does a message look like when she takes one?

One clean line, on the same screen as your calls, not a wall of transcript. She listens to the whole call and writes a summary your advisor can read in a second. The full recording and transcript are right there if you ever want them, but you usually will not need them.

Every message is sorted for your queue, so the ones that need action stand out. A price request, a callback, a call a human already missed: those get surfaced instead of buried. An existing customer is never re-asked for their name and number, and after hours she is honest about timing. She says someone will reach out first thing once you are back in, never that they will call "shortly," because after hours that would be a lie.

Reputation

How does she handle your Google reviews?

Every Google review lands in the same dashboard you already use. You read the review, read the reply the AI wrote in your shop's voice, and hit publish, all without leaving the dashboard. Nothing goes to Google until you say so.

Would rather write your own? Type it, and a "Clean up with AI" button fixes the spelling and grammar and tightens the tone, without ever adding a fact you did not write. The replies read like you because the wording is pulled from the way you actually reply, not a corporate template.

You keep the tough ones.

Any review at one or two stars always comes to a human, never an automatic reply. And she watches a 60-day window, so if someone edits an old review months later, she catches it.

Or let her post the good ones.

If you want, turn on auto-posting for reviews of three stars and up, replied to in your voice under your shop's name, while the one- and two-star reviews still route to you. Your call, and you can change it any time.

Website chat

Does she work on the website too?

Yes. The same Brooke that answers your phone also answers a chat box on your website, typed instead of spoken. It is the same brain, the same rules, and the same live look-up into your shop's system. It is running on a shop website today.

On chat she collects the name and number the way she would on a call, then helps the same way: answering questions and booking appointments. She will not go hunting in your database on an empty phone number. She gathers what she needs first.

Service history by voice

Can she answer "when was my last oil change?"

Yes, right on the call. She is reading your live records, so she can tell a customer when they were last in, what got done, and roughly what the mileage was, the same information your advisor would see on screen.

If the customer has more than one vehicle, she asks which one instead of guessing, and she never lists their whole garage back at them. She reads results as plain service names, "tire rotation and balance," not parts-counter noise, rounds mileage the way a person would say it, and never reads out invoice totals or work-order numbers.

The dashboard

What do you see in the morning?

One screen that shows what Brooke did. You open it and know in about a minute: what came in, what she got done, and what it was worth. Everything is grouped clearly, and every count is clickable so you can drop straight into the calls behind it.

A real 30-day view from our own shop. Fully customizable, so you and your advisors each see what matters to you.

Since launch

A headline strip across the top shows the lifetime numbers from the day you went live: estimated revenue captured, total conversations, appointments booked, messages taken, calls transferred. The proof in dollars that she is earning her keep. Those totals hold because every call is copied into your own store within seconds of it ending, so your history is not at the mercy of the phone platform's short retention.

Pick a time range

Today, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, or all time. Every tile below the selector respects the range you picked.

Volume tiles. What came in.
  • Total conversations, with a small trend sparkline
  • Phone calls and chat sessions

  • New vs returning callers
What Brooke got done. The action.
  • Appointments booked

  • Revenue captured at your average ticket
  • ROI: revenue captured, net of your monthly Sparviko cost, with the math shown openly
Recent conversations

Each row shows the caller, a tag (new, returning, blocked), a call or chat badge, the first line of the call, the time, and the length. Open any row for the full recording and a turn-by-turn transcript, with a small pill on each turn showing how long she took to respond, so you can see exactly where a call dragged.

Follow-up loop

Calls that need action stay lit up until someone marks them handled. A banner shows what the caller needs in a line or two, with buttons named for your own advisors and a snooze. A chime plays on a new one, and if it is still open late in the afternoon it chimes again so a callback never slips.

Urgent alert

A safety or high-priority call raises a banner naming the caller and how long ago. Click it to filter, then mark it resolved, which records who handled it and lets you add a note. Your dashboard shows your business, who called and what was booked and what it was worth, not report cards on the AI.

Search

Type a name, phone, or vehicle in the top bar to pull up matching calls from the last 30 days, which is all we keep.

Blocked numbers panel

Anyone currently blocked, with the reason on record. Block from any call row for a set number of hours, unblock with a reason that is logged, and review a caller's history before you decide.

Website bookings

Keep the booking widget you already have on your site. She enters what comes in so nobody re-types it, and the confirmation only says "booked" when the write actually landed. If one fails, you get an "action needed" alert instead of a silent miss. It is counted as time saved, never as revenue, so the numbers stay honest.

What people call about

The top services people asked for in the period, plus an hour-of-day view so you can see when your phone actually rings and staff around it.

Make it yours

A gear menu lets each person show or hide sections and individual tiles, saved per browser, so an owner and an advisor can each see the view that matters to them. The whole section is branded with your assistant's name.

Service history

Type a phone number or a VIN. See everything.

A separate page where you look a customer up by phone number or VIN and get their whole history in one click: every car on the account, every visit, every dollar. No three-year window, no cutoff, all the way back. It is the same data Brooke reads on a call, so the AI on the phone and the advisor on screen always agree.

The last visit's deferred work is flagged, so your advisor can pick the conversation back up: the natural upsell list, already sorted for you.

The pop-out

Who is calling, before you say hello

When the phone rings, a small window pops up in the corner of your advisor's screen with the caller's name and every car they own, before anyone picks up. Quick context, so your advisor already knows who they are talking to.

This is what your advisor sees the moment the phone rings. The pop-out appears in the corner with the caller's name and every car they own, before anyone says hello. An unknown number pops "not found," so the desk knows it is someone new. (Sample shown with fabricated data.)

The pop-out is just the "who is this" moment. The deeper history, the deferred work, the last visit, all of that lives on the dashboard and the service history page. This is only the quick context before you pick up.

It installs like a real desktop app with one click, and there is a simple 4-step setup guide with no command line: install it, pin it to your taskbar, have it start when you sign in, and turn on alerts. That is it.

What it needs. The pop-out only works if your phone provider offers API access, the technical hook that lets it see who is calling. Many business providers do, RingCentral is one. Some basic phone and cable-bundle lines do not. We check whether yours supports it during setup, before you commit to anything, and we are happy to walk you through it. When it does, you give us a key from your provider's settings with your written permission, you stay in control, and you can switch it off anytime.
What she doesn't do

What she will not do

Just as important as what she handles. She is a receptionist, not your advisor and not a mechanic, and she is built to hand off the moment a call is past what a front desk should decide. Here is where she stops.

Setup

How do we set you up, and how is it kept right?

A guided questionnaire walks you through your hours, pricing, staff, services, holidays, and exactly what you want your assistant to handle. If a question is unclear, a help bot right in the form answers it in plain English. You pick her name (or his), her voice, and whether she sounds female or male. You decide every rule.

The form is not public. We send each new shop their own link after we have talked. One real phone call from us finishes wiring her up, and then you go live. After that, we update her within one business day of any pricing or hours change you tell us about.

And it stays right because every change is checked before it reaches your line. A second AI reviews every call within the hour and flags anything off to a human, and every update is tested against dozens of simulated callers before it ever touches your phone.
