AI Automation for Workshops
You're elbow-deep in a gearbox and the phone's ringing off the hook. Service reminders? Quote follow-ups? Review chasing? When exactly were you meant to do that? Never. That's what AI is for.
AI Overview
AI automation for mechanics and auto repair workshops handles service reminders, rego notifications, quote follow-ups, and review requests automatically. Australian workshops using AI bring 35% more customers back for scheduled services, close 2x more quotes, and reclaim 10 hours per week from phone admin.
The three things leaking money from your workshop.
You're fixing cars, not running a call centre. But here we are.
Customers who never come back
Last year's service customer is due again this month. They don't know. You don't remind them. They go to the place around the corner. You just lost $400–$1,200 in work because no one sent an SMS.
Quotes that never convert
You quote the brake job. Customer says "I'll think about it." You never follow up. They forget. Six weeks later they're back because the brakes failed. Could've been booked in week one.
Booking chaos
Phone rings mid-job. You take the booking on a post-it. You lose the post-it. The customer shows up Tuesday and you've double-booked. Everyone is cranky. Your reputation takes a hit.
Four automations that bring cars back and keep bookings straight.
Set them up once. They work while you're head-down in a sump.
Service & Rego Reminders
AI watches service intervals and rego dates. Sends a friendly SMS 30 days out with a one-click booking link. Your customers come back automatically.
Quote SMS Follow-Ups
Quoted a job? AI chases it on day 2, day 5, and day 10 by SMS. "Hey, still keen on the brake job?" Simple, friendly, and converts twice as many quotes.
Booking Confirmations
Every booking gets an instant confirmation SMS plus a reminder 24 hours before. No more no-shows, no more double-bookings, no more post-it notes.
Review Requests
Two hours after pickup, AI sends a Google review request while the customer is still feeling fresh. Your star rating climbs while you stay on the tools.
Plugs into the workshop software you already run.
Your existing setup stays. The AI just feeds it faster.

Does AI work with Workshop Software?
How do service and rego reminders work?
Will customers actually respond to SMS quote follow-ups?
Can it handle review requests after a service?
