AI automation for independent auto shops

Your shop keeps booking, following up, and capturing jobs — even when nobody can answer the phone.

Bookd Mechanic gives auto repair shops a smarter digital front desk: missed-call text back, AI website chat, SMS follow-up, appointment support, lead capture, reminders, review requests, and optional AI voice reception.

24/7 Lead Response While your team is busy, closed, or under the hood.
Faster Text Back Catch customers before they call the next shop.
Less Front Desk Pressure Fewer missed calls, forgotten follow-ups, and manual chasing.

One missed repair order can cost more than the system.

Bookd helps capture the calls, chats, and follow-ups that slip away when everyone is working on cars.

The math is brutal
$400+

That is what one average repair order can be worth. Miss a few calls a week and the lost revenue adds up fast.

Every missed call is a job you already earned — going somewhere else.

Auto shops do not usually lose jobs because they are bad at fixing cars. They lose jobs because the customer needed help right now, the phone rang twice, nobody answered, and the next shop picked up.

Where shops leak money

Your team is busy doing the work. Bookd Mechanic keeps the front end moving.

🔧

Under the hood

The owner or tech is working on a vehicle and cannot stop every time the phone rings.

📞

Slammed at the desk

Your front desk is checking people in, explaining repairs, handling vendors, and juggling the schedule.

🌙

After hours

Customers search for help at night or on weekends. Bookd Mechanic can capture them before they disappear.

💸

The follow-up gap

Quotes, no-shows, old leads, review requests, and reminders get missed when the day gets busy.

Built for auto repair

A smarter front desk for the services your shop already sells.

Brakes, oil changes, diagnostics, no-starts, AC, tires, maintenance, inspections, and more — trained around your shop.

💬

AI Website Chat Widget

Answer service questions, collect customer details, explain policies, and guide visitors toward appointment requests right from your website.

📲

Missed Call Text Back

When someone calls and nobody answers, Bookd Mechanic can instantly text back so the lead does not go cold.

🗓️

Appointment Support

Help customers request service, share preferred times, describe the issue, and move toward the next step without adding front-desk workload.

🚗

Vehicle Intake Questions

Collect year, make, model, symptoms, warning lights, urgency, contact info, and preferred communication method before the appointment.

🔁

Follow-Up Automations

Review Request Workflow

One system. Many shop services.

Brakes, diagnostics, maintenance, repairs, inspections, and more.

  • Oil changes and maintenance requests
  • Brake inspections and repair inquiries
  • Check engine light and diagnostic requests
  • No-start, battery, alternator, and electrical questions
  • AC, cooling system, suspension, tire, and alignment inquiries
  • Quote follow-ups, appointment reminders, and review requests
How it works

We build it around your shop, then let it support your team.

You do not need to be technical. We configure the system, train it on your business, and connect it to the places your leads already come from.

01

Audit your lead leaks

We look at missed calls, slow follow-up, website gaps, booking friction, review opportunities, and after-hours lead capture.

02

Train your shop AI

We add your services, hours, booking rules, customer intake questions, policies, tone, and shop-specific details.

03

Connect chat, SMS, and workflows

Bookd Mechanic can support website leads, texts, missed calls, reminders, follow-ups, reviews, and more.

04

Capture more repair orders

Your team stays focused on cars while Bookd keeps leads moving toward booking, rebooking, and reviews.

Real concerns. Straight answers.

This is not about replacing good people. It is about not losing good jobs.

“My customers want a real person.”

Good. Bookd Mechanic is there to respond fast, collect details, and move people toward the next step. You still control the relationship.

“My front desk already handles it.”

Then this helps them. It catches the calls, forms, texts, reminders, and follow-ups that pile up when the day gets busy.

“I do not trust AI with my shop.”

We train it around your rules, your services, your policies, and your approval process. It does not diagnose with certainty or make promises you would not make.

“I cannot afford another system.”

If one recovered brake job, diagnostic, or maintenance appointment pays for the month, the better question is how many calls you can afford to miss.
