🚗 Car Dealerships

NEVER LOSE
ANOTHER SALE
TO A MISSED CALL

31% of inbound dealership calls go unanswered. Every one is a potential sale or service booking — going to whoever picks up first. We fix that with an AI receptionist that works 24/7, knows your stock, qualifies every buyer, and books test drives while you sleep.

Customer calling about a used Golf GTI seen on Autotrader
Customer
Is the Golf GTI still available? The VN19JPL one?
Alex — AI Receptionist
Yes, that one's still available — full main dealer service history, two previous owners. Were you thinking of coming in for a look?
Customer
What finance options are there? Ideally around £300/month
Alex — AI Receptionist
At £300–350/month PCP we can usually make that work. Can I book a callback with one of our team for 9am Thursday?

The Problem

A Motivated Buyer Can Become
Someone Else's Customer in Hours

The sale isn't lost because of the car. It's lost because nobody was there to answer.

🌙 After Hours
🔥
9pm: Sees Your Listing
Finds it on Autotrader, loves it. Customer is motivated and in buying mode.
🚫
⚠ Gap — No Way to Reach You
Dealership closed. No instant contact — only a web enquiry form they may not fill out.
📱
Keeps Browsing
Still in buying mode — just not with you anymore.
💸
Finds Another Car — Sale Lost
Books an appointment with a competitor who had an after-hours system. You never knew they were interested.
☀️ During the Day
📋
2pm: Spots Your Listing
Calls during business hours. Ready to enquire, in buying mode.
⚠ Gap — Can't Get Through
On hold, no answer, or just rings out. Your team is busy with walk-ins or other calls.
🔄
Tries Once More
Gives it one more attempt later that afternoon. Still nothing.
😤
Gives Up — Calls a Competitor
Who picks straight up. Your team never knew they called.
1.
After-hours calls go unanswered
Your busiest enquiry times are evenings and weekends — when your team isn't working.
2.
Your team chases instead of selling
Mornings start with lead admin, not conversations with motivated buyers who are ready now.
3.
Inconsistent customer experience
Quality depends entirely on who picks up — and when. Without a consistent process, every call is a lottery.

The Solution

One AI Receptionist.
Working Round the Clock.

Natural conversations that don't feel scripted. Built around the way you run your business.

📞

Every Call Gets Answered. Even at 10pm.

Your AI receptionist picks up when your team can't — answering questions on specs, features, and availability, qualifying the customer, then booking a test drive or scheduling a callback. Your team wakes up to a qualified lead, not a missed call.

BEFORE Missed call at 9pm → customer goes cold
AFTER Answered, qualified & logged by 9:01pm
🔄

Every Lead Followed Up Without Fail.

A web lead or WhatsApp comes in at 11pm. Your AI responds instantly — answering questions and keeping the customer warm. Your sales executive arrives in the morning to a booked appointment, not a cold inbox.

BEFORE Lead sits in inbox overnight — goes cold
AFTER Followed up instantly, team briefed by morning

Every Customer Gets Your Best.

Your best salesperson knows your stock, your offers, and exactly how to qualify a buyer. So does your AI. Every single time. No off days, no shortcuts — whether it's Tuesday morning or Saturday evening.

BEFORE Quality depends on who picks up — and when
AFTER Consistent, professional, on-brand every time
