An AI receptionist built for auto repair shops
You're under a car on a lift with dirty hands. The phone is ringing at the counter and there's nobody at the counter.
Keep your number. Cancel anytime.
- Assistant:
Eastgate Auto, this is your assistant — how can I help?
- Caller:
Hi, my car's making a grinding noise. Can you look at it?
It knows what your callers mean
Nobody rings up and asks for the name on your price list. Clayta matches what people actually say to the right service and duration.
The call you can never take
The phone always rings when you're under a car and nobody's at the counter. That's the one Clayta is for.
Answers while you work
Books diagnostic, oil and filter service, brake job and the rest of your list, without you putting anything down.
Answers what you get asked
Prices, hours, how long diagnostic takes — it answers from what you've told it, and takes a message rather than guessing when it hasn't been told.
Answers after you've closed
You're open maybe 50 hours a week. There are 168. A call at nine on a Sunday either becomes a booking or becomes somebody else's.
Your phone right now is a liability

An English greeting they may not finish listening to
Knowing what was said
A name on a notepad, if that

Questions from repair shops
Callers describe a noise, not a repair. Can it book from that?
It books a diagnostic, which is the honest answer to a noise, and captures the description in the caller's own words along with make, model and year if you ask for them. You get the symptom before the car arrives instead of after.
Will it quote a repair over the phone?
Only what you have priced — a standard service, an inspection, a set of pads. Anything that depends on what you find gets booked as a diagnostic with a note, rather than a number the caller will hold you to.
Can it tell someone whether their car is ready?
It answers from what it has been given. Job status lives in whatever system you use, so unless that has been set up it takes a message and tells you, rather than guessing that a car is finished when it is on a lift in pieces.
