AI Call Answering for Automotive Businesses

From dealerships to body shops, automotive businesses miss thousands in revenue every month from calls going to voicemail. Agent IA Vocal answers every call, schedules service appointments, and follows up on test drive leads — automatically.

Single-site main dealers, multi-site dealer groups, and independent garages use Agent IA Vocal to capture every MOT booking, service appointment, test-drive enquiry and parts question — pushed into Keyloop, Pinewood, CDK or Gemini in real time.

What it does

How Agent IA Vocal helps.

Service scheduling 24/7

Callers request oil changes, brake jobs, or recalls. The AI books the appointment directly into your DMS.

Test drive scheduling

Interested buyers can schedule test drives directly without waiting for a salesperson.

Lead follow-up

AI follows up with showroom visitors who didn't buy — increasing close rates by up to 20%.

Recall notifications

Proactively calls customers about open recalls and books their service visit.

Parts inquiry routing

Parts inquiries get routed to the right department — no more transferred and dropped calls.

Multi-location routing

Large dealer groups can route callers to the right location automatically.

Sales enquiries, after hours and at scale

Most dealerships have a BDC / showroom team that runs 8-6 Mon-Sat. The 60% of enquiries that come outside those hours go to voicemail or a generic answering service. Agent IA Vocal acts as your 24/7 BDC overflow — qualifying buyers, booking test drives, and pushing leads into your CRM with full transcripts.

  • VRM / stock-specific enquiries
  • Test-drive booking against the sales calendar
  • Part-exchange valuation intake (reg, mileage, condition, MOT/service history)
  • FCA-aware finance pre-qualification questions
  • Push to Enquiry Max, RAC Auto Trader Stock Manager, Dealerweb, or your CRM
  • SMS confirmation to buyer with sales executive contact info

"Our showroom stops taking calls at 6 PM. We were leaving every evening and weekend to voicemail. Now we're booking 30+ test drives a week we wouldn't have caught — and the conversion rate matches our daytime enquiries."

"I run a 3-bay independent garage. I can't have my hands on a brake job and answer the phone at the same time. Agent IA Vocal books the next slot, gives the customer a quote range, and texts me the details. I get a full diary without paying for a receptionist."
