AI receptionists for auto repair shops.

By Cameron Drummond, editor.

The mechanic is under a car when the phone rings. Every unanswered call is a service booking that went down the road.

Short answer: 5 vendors in our dataset name auto repair on their own site. 4 publish a fixed monthly price, from US$29/mo (Dialzara); Smith.ai also has a free tier. 1 is usage-based or quote-only.

Questions

What is the cheapest AI receptionist for auto repair shops?

Smith.ai: Free: 25 calls/mo, then $3.00/call. Pro: $150/mo for 75 calls (~$2.00/call). Enterprise: $500/mo for 300 calls (~$1.67/call). Volume discounts on higher call packs.

How did you decide which vendors serve auto repair shops?

A vendor is listed only if its own website names auto repair as an industry it serves. The source page is linked in the table. We did not test industry-specific features.

What should I ask before signing?

Ask how it captures make, model and the fault, and how urgent jobs reach a service adviser.
