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.
24/7, never to voicemail. Handles pickups, safety, and transfers.
Reads your live database. Greets returning callers, pulls their cars.
Straight into your calendar, up to 30 days out. Protected against double-bookings.
Night drops, pickups, and the messy calls a shop actually gets.
Clean summaries, sorted so callbacks and urgent calls stand out.
In your voice. Auto-post or draft-only, your choice.
The same brain, typed. Live on shop websites today.
Revenue captured, calls handled, what people call about.
See who's calling and what they drive before you pick up.
Type a phone number or VIN. Every car, every visit, every dollar.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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."
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.
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.
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.
The caller rambled. Brooke wrote one clean line and tagged it so it stands out. (Sample shown with fabricated data.)
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.
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.
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.
Real reviews from Cooper Lake Automotive's Google profile, with the replies Brooke wrote and posted.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Today, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, or all time. Every tile below the selector respects the range you picked.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A returning customer's full history in one click, every car, every visit, every dollar, with last-visit deferred work flagged so your advisor can pick the conversation back up. (Sample shown with fabricated data.)
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.
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.
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.
