In Explore: What it replaces

Four bills. One AutoBook.

A CRM, chat, an answering service and BDC callbacks. For less.

Most stores pay several vendors to answer, chase and book the same customers, and none of them talk to each other. AutoBook does that work itself, on one customer record. Run it alongside what you have while you try it, and every lead still reaches your CRM.

AutoBook, all of it on one recordOne monthly price, all in

You pay several vendors to do one job.

Answer the customer, book the visit, follow up. Today that work is split across tools that each do a piece, and people fill the gaps by hand.

None of them talkThe chat tool doesn't know about the call. The CRM doesn't know they were in service yesterday. Your team re-keys the same customer twice.
Someone still types every replyA CRM or a texting tool is a place people type into. The follow-up only happens if someone does it, and overdue tasks pile up.
After hours becomes a messageAn answering service takes a message and someone calls back the next day. It can't book the visit or say what's on your lot.

How it works.

01

Everything comes through one door

Website chat, your lead sources, calls, texts, email and the booking page all land on one record per customer, on both desks.

02

The AI does the work

It answers in seconds at any hour, books real open times, sends the reminders and keeps following up, by selling rules you write in plain English.

03

Your people get who needs them

The customers who need a person land on one To do list, with their own rep. Leads, bookings and sold or lost updates still go to your CRM.

Tool by tool.

What each does today, and what AutoBook does instead. Example figures; yours will differ.

Your CRM EXAMPLE: ABOUT $2,500/MOToday: keeps leads and tasks; follow-up happens only if someone does it.AutoBook: one record per customer with every call, text, chat and email, a pipeline built from what actually happened, and one To do list.
Website chat EXAMPLE: ABOUT $500/MOToday: takes a name and number and passes it on. It ends when the shopper leaves.AutoBook: the AI answers their actual question at any hour, shows real cars from your lot with price and kilometres, and books the test drive.
Answering service EXAMPLE: ABOUT $1,000/MOToday: takes a message, and someone calls back the next day.AutoBook: answers in your store's name, books, moves or cancels visits on the call, rings the rep's app when they want a person, and texts back any call that rings out.
BDC callbacks EXAMPLE: ABOUT $2,700/MOToday: set hours, and the quality depends on who's in the seat that day.AutoBook: first answer, booking, reminders and follow-up done the same way on every shift. Your BDC keeps the conversations that need a person.
Booking and remindersToday: a separate scheduler, apart from the conversation.AutoBook: only real open times, then a confirmation and reminders with a link to move or cancel. Service visits booked at the counter in your DMS get the same reminders.
Texting and campaignsToday: someone types every reply, and personal-phone texts are never logged.AutoBook: the AI answers texts in seconds, reps text from the store's number, and campaigns to your own customers have the AI write each message and book the replies.A campaign step can have the AI phone each customer and try to book them on the call.

A customer texts on Tuesday and calls on Thursday, and the AI picks up exactly where they left off.

Switch at your own pace.

Nothing to rip out. Month to month.

Run it alongsideYour website, numbers, DMS and CRM stay as they are while you try it.
Leads still reach your CRMEvery new lead, booking and sold or lost update goes to your CRM, and you see each one was delivered.
Then drop what you don't needFor most stores it takes the place of a separate chat tool, texting tool, scheduler and answering service.

Questions dealers ask.

We already pay for a CRM and a chat tool.You can run it alongside them, and leads keep going to your CRM. It does the chat and the phone answering itself, so you may not need a separate chat tool or answering service.
We already have a BDC.Great, keep them on the calls that need a person. AutoBook takes the first answer, the 11 PM texts and the Saturday rush, and hands your people the customers who are ready.
Who owns the customer data?Your store does. Reps work from the store's numbers, and the account owner can download every customer as a spreadsheet whenever they want.
