AI for Auto Repair Shops

Phone rings. Your techs are under cars.

Both bays are full, your service writer is at the counter, and the phone won't stop. Stakd answers every call and text, quotes by year, make, and model, and books the drop-off — so that lead never dials the shop down the street.

Built for auto repair. Custom-trained on your services and pricing.

The problem

A missed call is a car in someone else's bay.

When both bays are full and your writer is buried, the phone goes to voicemail. But nobody with a check-engine light waits — they hang up and call the next shop on the list. That brake job, that diagnostic, that whole repair order drives right past you.

1st

shop to answer and quote usually wins the repair order

Stakd answers every call in 1 ring.

Sounds human. Gets the year, make, and model. Quotes the job. Books the drop-off. Even after you've closed the bay doors.

What it does

Built for a busy shop.

Answers every call & text

1-ring pickup. Sounds like a real service writer. Gets the year, make, model, and the complaint — even while your whole crew is heads-down in the bays.

Quotes & books drop-offs

Gives a ballpark on common jobs like a brake inspection, then books the drop-off, sends a confirmation text, and notes the vehicle and symptom for the bay.

Catches missed calls

Any call you can't grab gets an instant text back that keeps the conversation alive — so the lead never has time to dial the shop down the street.

The math

What missed calls cost your shop

Calls in a busy week150
Calls you miss (typical: 30%)45
Recoverable with Stakd (~70%)31
Avg booked job value (e.g. brake job)$379
Revenue recovered per week$11,749

And that's before the bigger tickets — diagnostics, suspension, full repair orders. Multiply it across 52 weeks. The system pays for itself almost immediately.

How we set it up

Three steps. We do all the work.

STEP 1

30-min discovery call

We learn your services, your labor rates and price ranges, your service area, and how you like drop-offs scheduled.

STEP 2

We build your shop's AI

Custom-trained on YOUR shop. Plugged into your phone, texts, and shop-management calendar. Tested end-to-end.

STEP 3

Every call answered, every car booked

Calls picked up on the first ring. Jobs quoted. Drop-offs on the calendar. While your techs stay under the cars.

Pricing

Every quote is custom. Here's why.

A one-bay shop fielding 60 calls a month needs a different setup than a six-bay shop running 400. We don't pretend otherwise.

Call volumeMore calls = bigger build.
ChannelsVoice, text, chat, Instagram — pick what fits.
IntegrationsTekmetric, Shop-Ware, Shopmonkey — we wire it in.
Build complexityYear/make/model quoting, multi-location, etc.
Most clients pay back the investment in 30–60 days. No contracts. 30-day money-back.
Auto repair questions

Everything you need to know.

The AI does — on the first ring, every time. When your service writer is at the counter with a customer and your techs are buried under hoods, calls normally roll to voicemail or ring out. The AI picks up instantly, sounds like a real front-desk person, asks the year, make, and model, describes the problem, and books a drop-off. No customer waits on hold, and nobody hangs up to call the shop down the road.

Yes. We train the AI on your pricing logic, so it collects the year, make, model, and the symptom, then gives the caller an honest price range or a diagnostic-fee starting point — the same way your service writer would. For common jobs like a brake inspection or brake replacement, it can quote a ballpark on the spot and book the appointment before the caller shops anywhere else.

Both. A lot of younger customers and busy parents would rather text than call. The AI answers inbound texts, replies to your "Free brake inspection" ad leads, and instantly texts back anyone whose call you miss. It carries the full conversation over SMS — qualifies the vehicle, quotes the job, and books the drop-off — so a lead never sits unanswered.

Yes. We integrate with Tekmetric, Shop-Ware, Mitchell 1, Shopmonkey, AutoLeap, and most other shop-management systems. The AI books drop-offs and appointments directly into the system your service advisors already use, sends the customer a confirmation text, and notes the vehicle and complaint so the bay is ready when the car rolls in.

We typically have auto repair shops live in days — every system is 100% custom-built for your specific shop. We train the AI on your services, your labor rates and price ranges, your service area, your hours, and how you like drop-offs scheduled. You review and approve, then we flip the switch. Most owners are surprised at how natural it sounds on the first test call.

Then this matters even more. You're paying for every call and text that ad generates. If a lead calls while both your bays are full and gets voicemail, you paid for that lead and then lost it to the shop down the street. The AI answers every paid call and text, qualifies the vehicle, quotes the job, and books the brake inspection — protecting your ad spend and lowering your cost per booked car.

Pricing is custom based on your call volume, the number of AI features you need, and the size of your operation. We don't publish one-size-fits-all pricing because every auto repair shop is different — a one-bay shop is not a six-bay shop. Book a free demo and we'll build a custom quote for your situation. Most shops cover the cost with the cars they would have lost to voicemail in the first couple of weeks.
