The Stack

Six systems, tuned for automotive.

Each piece plugs into the software you already use — and they all talk to each other.

Chapter 01

Voice AI service advisor

Books oil changes to diagnostics — direct into your SMS.

Customers call, describe the symptom, and the agent books the right appointment slot with the right tech, adds vehicle history, and texts the customer a confirmation with a loaner option. Confirmations send via Gmail, Slack pings the service manager on diagnostics, and QuickBooks Online keeps the ticket value visible in real time.

Service drive booked solid, no schedulers needed.
Chapter 02

Estimate & status chatbot

Photo in, ballpark out. Then live job status.

Customers upload a photo of the damage or warning light, get an honest estimate range, and after drop-off can text the bot anytime for live status updates from the shop management system. Estimates archive in Google Workspace, Mailchimp sends the post-visit follow-up, and Canva builds the social-proof clips from happy reviews.

Fewer 'is it ready yet' calls. Higher trust.
Chapter 03

Local SEO for every service line

Brake repair, transmission, EV service — own each search.

We build a landing page for every service and make-model combo you handle, push AutoService schema, and tune your Google Business Profile so you rank above the dealership in the map pack. Google Maps stays perfectly synced, Canva renders every service-line hero, and Trello tracks the content pipeline.

Outrank the dealer on the searches that matter.
Chapter 04

'Under the Hood' podcast

Demystify car care — and become the trusted shop.

Short episodes explaining when to actually replace brakes, the truth about synthetic oil, and EV maintenance basics. Owners listen, trust grows, and they bring the family fleet to you. Episodes publish via Google Workspace, social cuts drop through Canva, and Mailchimp keeps your service-due list warm between visits.

Word-of-mouth at scale.
Chapter 05

Digital service advisor avatar

A friendly face explains every repair recommendation.

Your top advisor's avatar records personalized videos for each repair order — explaining why the brake pads are at 3mm, with photos from the lift. Customers approve more work because they understand it. Videos send through Gmail, queue inside HubSpot follow-up sequences, and surface in Square checkout when the customer pays.

Chapter 06

Agentic AI for declined-services recovery

Declined today → booked next month, automatically.

An agent reads every declined work line from Tekmetric, schedules a smart follow-up by SMS or call at the right interval, and books the customer back when they're ready — without anyone lifting a finger. Pipedrive moves the deal stage, Mailchimp delivers the nurture, and QuickBooks Online sees declined work convert back into revenue.
