What it handles for auto body shops
Books estimates
Drive-in estimates go on your calendar with the vehicle, the damage, and the insurance company.
Asks if it’s drivable
A car that isn’t safe to drive gets a transfer to you or your tow details, based on your rules.
Answers insurance questions
Which insurers you work with, rentals, and how claims usually go at your shop, from what you tell it.
Takes status calls
“Is my car ready?” calls become a Talk Note with the customer’s name and vehicle, so you call back once.

Questions from auto body shops
Can it tell a customer their car is ready?
Not yet. It takes the message with the vehicle and claim details, and texts it to you.
Can it give an estimate from photos?
No. If you do photo estimates, it tells callers how to send photos. Otherwise it books an in-person estimate.
What about hail storms and deer season?
It answers up to 10 calls at once, so a hail storm or a busy fall doesn’t bury your front counter.
