AI Receptionist & Service Booking for Dealerships & Workshops | Attorus
Industries · Automotive

Every missed call is a bay sitting empty.

Attorus is the AI front desk for service departments and independent workshops. It answers the service line 24/7, books logbook work straight into the diary, sends the reminders that stop no-shows, and chases the customers who've quietly lapsed.

Australian-built and managed from Adelaide. Openly AI, and happy to prove it works before you commit.

Any chance of a logbook service on a '21 Ranger this week? Might need front pads looked at too.
Can do both in the one visit. What's the rego? I've got Thursday 8:15am, or Friday 10:30am with a loan car.
S641 KTP. Friday with the loaner, thanks.
Locked in, Friday 10:30am with the loan car. SMS confirmation coming now, and I'll remind you Thursday arvo.
Answering across
01 / The problem
counter 3 deep · phone ringing

The counter always beats the phone

Your service advisor is mid-handover with a customer at the counter while the phone rings out. The caller does not leave a voicemail. They ring the next workshop on Google and book the logbook service there.

8:04 pm · booking attempt

Car admin happens after dinner

People remember the service is overdue at 8pm with the fridge open. If they cannot lock in a slot right then, the chain workshop with online booking gets the job at 8am, and you never knew the enquiry existed.

service due · never chased

Overdue customers drift, bays sit empty

Everyone who skipped their last service is sitting in your service history, slowly drifting to the chains. Ringing them is nobody’s job, so quiet weeks stay quiet and the hoists sit still.

Bays full · phones answered

Techs on the tools can't run the front desk, and advisors can't be in two places. The agent answers and books while the bays stay busy.

02 / How it works

Answer, qualify, book, follow up.

01

Answers the service line, every time

Phone, SMS, website chat and Facebook, around the clock. The Saturday morning rush and the 8pm booking attempt both get answered on the first ring.

First ringSaturday rushAfter hours
02

Books the job properly

Logbook service, tyres, brakes, diagnostics. It captures rego, make and model, asks the right questions about the fault, offers real slots and locks the job into the diary.

Rego captureLogbookDiary slot
03

Stops the no-shows

SMS confirmation at booking, a reminder the arvo before, and one-tap rescheduling. A forgotten booking becomes a moved booking instead of an empty bay hour.

04

Fills the quiet weeks

Service-due and win-back campaigns go out automatically on a schedule you approve, and recall or seasonal pushes, like pre-rego checks, run on request.

03 / A worked scenario

A Saturday logbook booking, taken while the workshop is shut.

Inbound call · Saturday 4:00 PM Sample scenario · illustrative

A caller wants a logbook service for a 2022 Ranger. The agent checks bay availability against the diary, offers Tuesday 8:00 AM or Wednesday 1:00 PM, and takes Tuesday. It captures the rego, the odometer reading and a note about a rattle over speed humps.

Booked for Tuesday 8:00 AM. SMS confirmation with drop-off instructions, the rego and service notes attached to the customer record, and the advisor sees the whole thing on Monday morning without re-typing a word.

04 / What it does

Built for the way your week actually runs.

01

24/7 service-line answering

Every call picked up, even with the counter three deep and both advisors flat out.

02

After-hours bookings

The diary fills overnight while the roller door is down.

03

No-show protection

Confirmations, reminders and easy rescheduling protect every booked bay hour.

04

Service-due win-backs

Lapsed customers get a friendly chase before the chain workshops get them.

05

Multi-site ready

One system across every location, routing each caller to the right diary, with one report for the group.

06

Overflow answering

When both advisors are serving, the agent catches the calls that would have rung out.

05 / Channels and integrations

The channels that matter here, plugged into what you run.

Channel fit
PhoneSMSEmailLive chat

Automotive is a phone trade first. Phone and SMS carry the bookings and the missed-call text-backs, email handles quote threads and fleet work, and live chat picks up the people comparing workshops on Google before they ring anyone.

06 / FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Can it quote service prices?

It quotes only from the price list you supply, and flags anything non-standard for a human callback. It never invents a number to keep a caller happy.

What about existing customers?

Anyone in your CRM is recognised, so the rego and the service history come up with the conversation rather than being asked for again.

Can it send booking reminders?

Yes. SMS or email reminders are attached to every booking automatically, on the channel the customer used.

Can it book directly into our workshop diary?

It books into your calendar today, and we build custom connections into your existing tools during onboarding. What that looks like for your systems is scoped on the call.

What about parts pricing or quotes it can't answer?

The agent is trained on your knowledge base during onboarding, so it handles the questions you want it to handle. Anything outside scope, like a driveline quote that needs eyes on the car, goes to your team with a summary of the conversation. It never makes answers up.

Does it handle multiple locations?

Yes. It is built multi-site from day one. It routes each caller by location, books into the right diary, and gives the group one report across every site.

Will older customers put up with AI on the phone?

The demos being produced for this page are recorded off a real Attorus bot, so you can judge for yourself. The conversation is natural, and anyone who asks for a human gets one, straight away.

Can it do recall or service-due campaigns?

Yes. Outbound SMS and email sequences to your own customer list, covering service-due reminders, win-backs, recalls, and seasonal pushes like pre-rego checks.

How long does it take to go live?

It is done for you. We train the agent on your services, your bays and your booking rules, connect your channels and diary, and test it before it goes live. Exact scope and timing are confirmed on the call.

Is it really AI?

Yes, openly. We sell Attorus as an AI front desk, and this page and our sales calls say so plainly. How it is presented to your customers is agreed with you during onboarding.

Cost is the question everybody asks first: how much does this actually cost? The rest are on the FAQ.

Start

Full bays start with answered phones.

Every answered call is a booked bay hour, and every reminder is a no-show that didn't happen. Book a 30-minute call and see it on your own service line. A few extra booked bay hours a month cover it.

Every service booking is the same handful of questions. See automated appointment booking
