Industry workflow

AI receptionist and booking for auto repair shops

Calls come in while you are under a hood or writing an estimate. Switchboard-IQ answers in your shop name, books the service appointment into your calendar, and sends the reminder, so the bay stays full without you dropping a wrench to grab the phone.

Common call types

Service appointment

Capture the vehicle, the problem, and preferred timing, and book it into your calendar.

Quote or estimate request

Collect the details your team needs and schedule a callback or drop-off from your approved script.

Status check

Handle "is my car ready" calls with your approved rules so the front counter is not tied up.

After-hours drop-off

Answer questions about after-hours drop-off and book the next open service slot.

New customer

Recognize a first-time caller, capture their information, and get them on the schedule.

Parts or vendor call

Separate operational calls from paying customers and route them to the right person.

Built to cut no-shows

An empty bay is lost revenue. Switchboard-IQ books into your calendar and sends automated reminders within your approved consent rules, so more scheduled jobs actually show up. Reminder and text features are configured and approved during setup.
