AI receptionist for trades and auto repair shops

On a job, phone ringing. Violet takes the next one.

The call you miss under a sink or under a car is the job that goes to the next name on the list. Violet answers in under two seconds, takes the address or the vehicle and what's wrong, books the visit or the bay, quotes the fees you set, and puts the 2 am emergency through to whoever's on call.

Plumbing

Burst pipes, leaking tanks, drain clears and estimate visits, with the address and the problem written on the booking.

62%

of calls to small businesses go unanswered or to voicemail.

Most callers don't leave a message. They call the next business on the list. And in our experience, the voicemail that does get one isn't being checked.

What she does for you

Answers. Routes. Saves you time. Wins back the work.

01 · Answers

Every call, picked up

In a crawlspace, on a roof, under the hoist. Violet answers in under two seconds, day and night, as many calls at once as come in. Nobody hears a voicemail greeting.

  • Under two seconds, 24/7
  • Unlimited calls at once
  • Calls and texts on one number
02 · Routes

The right call to the right person

She books the routine work herself and puts through the calls that need you: the emergency, the job that needs eyes on it, the customer who wants the owner. You choose who takes what, and when.

  • Your emergency rule, every time
  • On-call phone after hours
  • A text to you when nobody can pick up
03 · Saves time

Off the phone, on the tools

No more stopping a job to write an address on your hand. The address, the problem, the system or the vehicle go on the booking, so the tech knows before arriving.

  • Details on every booking
  • Call-out and standard prices quoted for you
  • "When's he coming?" answered from the booking
04 · Recovers

The work that used to go to voicemail

Calls at 7 pm become tomorrow's first jobs. Estimate requests get booked while you're on a roof. The caller who would have hung up on a voicemail and tried the next shop gets a time instead.

  • After-hours calls booked, not lost
  • Estimate visits booked while you work
  • Seasonal rushes handled in the evening
A day with Violet

A day across the trades, with Violet on the phone

6:30 am · HVAC

"No heat, and it's minus twenty"

Violet recognises an emergency, takes the address and the unit type, follows your rule (first slot today, or straight to the on-call phone), and texts the customer what happens next.

7:50 am · Auto repair

"Can I drop it off this morning?"

Before you've unlocked the door, Violet has booked the oil change drop-off at 8:30, taken the make and model, and texted the confirmation.

10:15 am · Plumbing and electrical

Four estimates booked while you're on a roof

A furnace replacement, a panel upgrade, a leaking tap and a bathroom rough-in. Violet books each as an estimate visit, with the address and the job written on the booking.

2:15 pm · Auto repair

The big quote goes to a person

"How much to replace a transmission?" isn't a price-list question. Violet takes the vehicle details and puts the caller through to the service desk, or takes the message and texts you.

6:40 pm · Auto repair

Tire season, after close

First snow in the forecast. Six callers after close want winter tires on. Violet books all six into the week, each with the vehicle and tire size noted.

11:50 pm · Plumbing

A call-out, with the fee agreed

A sump pump quits in a storm. Violet quotes the after-hours call-out fee you set, the customer agrees, and she puts the call through to the on-call tech with the details texted to both sides.

In their words

What callers say. What Violet does.

She learns the words your callers use for each service. You can see the list and edit it.

"My hot water tank is leaking"
Takes the address and the details, books the call-out, and flags it urgent if you've set that rule.
"What do you charge to come out?"
Quotes the call-out fee you set, and the after-hours fee if it's after hours.
"Can I get a quote on a new AC?"
Books an estimate visit and notes the home and the system.
"Oil change on a 2019 Civic"
Quotes your oil change price, books it, and notes the vehicle on the appointment.
"It's grinding when I brake"
Books a brake inspection and writes the symptom on the booking for the tech.
"Are you licensed?"
Answers from your facts, with your licence details if you entered them.
"Is my car ready?"
Puts the caller through to the desk, or takes the message, as you set it.

Questions

Violet for trades and auto repair shops

How does she handle emergencies at night?

By the rule you set. Most crews choose: quote the after-hours fee, take the address and the problem, and put the call straight through to the on-call phone. The details are texted to the tech and the customer.

Can she take the address, the vehicle and the problem?

Yes. The address, what's wrong, the kind of system or the year, make and model go on the booking, and your tech sees them in the dashboard or by text before arriving.

Can she quote?

She quotes what you gave a price to: call-out fees, after-hours fees, oil changes, tire swaps, diagnostics, a drain clear or a thermostat swap. Anything that needs eyes on it, she books as an estimate or puts through to a person.

Can she put calls through to the shop or the office?

Yes. You pick who takes transfers and when. A booking she handles herself; an estimate question, an upset customer or someone asking for the owner goes to a person, or comes to you as a text.

Does she work with Jobber or my field software?

Jobber, Google Calendar, Outlook and Square Appointments connect from the dashboard. For anything else, tell us what you run and within a business day we'll say how we'll connect it, free.

What about after hours?

She answers 24/7. A call at 7 pm becomes a booking for the morning. Nothing goes to voicemail, and nothing goes to the shop down the road.

What does it cost?

$149.99 CAD per month for voice, webchat and SMS, unlimited calls and texts, with a 14-day free trial that starts when she goes live. No setup fee, no contract.
