  1. Hello, I’m the workshop’s AI receptionist. What would you like to arrange?
  2. An annual service for a 2020 hatchback. Can I drop it off before work?
  3. Our early drop-off uses the side gate. What make and model should I put on the request?
  4. It’s a SEAT León. Friday would be easiest.

01

Identify the job before discussing timing

A scheduled service and an intermittent fault need different workshop time. Ask for the make, model, year and reason for the enquiry. A service adviser can use those details to decide what inspection or appointment to offer.

02

Make drop-off instructions usable

Someone leaving a vehicle before work needs the entrance, opening time and key handover procedure. Add parking restrictions, what to bring and the shop’s actual arrangements for after-hours drop-off.

03

Give repair updates to the right person

Ask for a job reference through the shop’s chosen channel when a customer wants an update. A service adviser confirms parts delivery, completion and the final bill. Route safety concerns according to the workshop’s instructions.

FAQ

Common questions

Can it diagnose a warning light?

It can record what the driver saw and provide the workshop’s approved contact. Diagnosis requires qualified assessment.

Can it quote for a routine service?

Use the workshop’s published packages and explain which vehicle details a final quote requires.
