## The problem

- 40 percent of service calls go unanswered during peak hours when service advisors are helping in-shop customers.
- 67 percent of callers will not leave a voicemail - they call the next shop on Google.
- 78 percent of car owners book with the shop that responds first to a breakdown call.
- Technicians pulled off work to answer estimate calls lose 15-30 billable minutes per interruption.
- After-hours breakdowns go unscheduled until morning - by then the tow truck has dropped the vehicle somewhere else.
- Follow-up calls to rebook declined work (brake recommendations, tire replacement) rarely happen - service advisors run out of hours.

## How Ainora solves it

**Service booking with bay and tech awareness.** AI checks real-time availability by bay type (alignment rack, diagnostic bay, lift) and technician specialty, quotes appointment duration accurately, and books into your shop management system.

**Estimate inquiries answered.** AI quotes preliminary pricing from your configured rate sheet (oil change, brake pads, battery, diagnostic fee), schedules detailed estimates, and gathers vehicle info so techs do not waste time re-asking basics.

**Parts availability checks.** AI pulls inventory status and lead times from your system - customers hear "we have it, come in today" or "we can order it, expected Thursday" instead of "I will have to call you back."

**Tow coordination.** AI takes the intake call from the tow driver or the stranded customer, captures address, vehicle info, and chief complaint, assigns a bay, and notifies the service advisor.

**Status updates for waiting customers.** AI looks up work order status and pushes updates by SMS - reducing front-desk interruptions while keeping customers informed.

**Decline-work follow-up.** AI calls customers 7-14 days after they decline recommended work (brakes, tires) and rebooks - recovering revenue that usually walks out the door.

## FAQ

**Can AI handle complex diagnostic questions?**
AI captures symptoms, when the issue started, and any codes the customer has seen, then books a diagnostic appointment. Technical judgment stays with your tech.

**What about warranty and recall questions?**
AI answers from your configured warranty rules and redirects OEM recall questions to the dealer if appropriate.

**Does it work for multi-location shop groups?**
Yes - AI routes by ZIP code or by the location the customer explicitly asks for, and each shop has its own calendar and inventory view.

**Can it speak Spanish?**
Yes - and Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, and 95+ other languages. Important in markets with strong immigrant customer bases.
