Service writing is one of the busiest jobs in any auto shop. The phone is ringing while a writer is mid-estimate with the customer in front of them. Calls that get missed turn into customers booking somewhere else.
A useful AI for auto shops handles the inbound booking call end-to-end: pulls the VIN, asks what the issue is, checks bay availability, lines up the parts, and either books or hands off if the conversation needs a writer's judgment. The agent writes the appointment directly into Tekmetric, Shop-Ware, CDK, or Mitchell 1, the system the team already lives in.
The ROI is straightforward. Every missed booking call is a real customer who went elsewhere. Recovering even a fifth of them, at typical job values, is worth thousands per month per shop.
Vorel recovers roughly $48k per month per shop on bookings that would have otherwise gone to a competitor.
