# Call Service-Due Customers

Empty bays this week? Your overdue-maintenance list is already sitting in the DMS. AINORA makes warm, AI-disclosed phone calls to your own customers who are due or overdue for service, reminds them what is due, and books them into your slow weeks. Done for you. Your own customers only, never cold lists. The AI says it is an AI. Opt-outs are scrubbed and honored.

## What this is (and is not)
- It IS: outbound, interval-triggered calling to your own customers who are due or overdue for maintenance, pulled from your DMS or shop management records.
- It is NOT: cold calling, bought lists, debt collection, or recovering money owed. This is about booking warm customers into service.
- It is NOT the same as our inbound AI receptionist for auto shops. That answers calls that come to you. See https://ainora.lt/industries/auto-service for the inbound side.
- It is earlier than win-back: service-due reaches customers before they drift away. Win-back reaches customers who already went quiet. See https://ainora.lt/win-back-auto-service-customers.

## Market context (sourced)
- Increasing customer retention by 5% increases profits by 25% to 95% (Reichheld, Bain & Company): Harvard Business Review, https://hbr.org/2014/10/the-value-of-keeping-the-right-customers
- 64% of service customers book their service appointments by phone: CDK Global Service Shopper 4.0, https://www.cdkglobal.com/insights/service-shopper-40-dealerships-gain-ground
- Acquiring a new customer costs anywhere from 5 to 25 times more than retaining an existing one: Harvard Business Review, https://hbr.org/2014/10/the-value-of-keeping-the-right-customers

## How it works
1. You pull your due-for-service list from your DMS (last oil change, brake check, inspection due, etc.).
2. We scrub it (opt-outs removed first) and match it to the weeks where your bays look thin.
3. The AI calls each overdue customer, discloses it is an AI from your shop, reminds them what is due, and offers a slot.
4. Bookings, recordings, and outcomes flow back to your system. Slow weeks fill up.

## What it fills the bays with
- Overdue oil changes and routine service.
- Inspections and seasonal maintenance (tire swaps, pre-winter checks).
- Thin weeks you can see coming, booked in before the bays go quiet.
- Customers your automatic SMS and email reminders never reached.

## How we keep it warm and above board
- Your own customers who are due for service and have an existing relationship only. Never bought lists, never cold calls.
- The AI discloses it is an AI at the start of every call.
- Opt-outs scrubbed before dialing and honored instantly; every call recorded and logged.
- An existing relationship does not by itself make every call permissible. We set the campaign around opt-in-first practice and your consent records, and you approve the script before launch.

## Integrations
Your DMS, shop management system, calendar, and CRM. We read your service intervals, write the bookings back, and log every outcome.
