For Auto Repair Shops

The AI Receptionist Built for Auto Repair Shops

Your advisor is under a car, hands covered in grease, phone across the shop. Vanguard answers every call, quotes your services, and books the appointment — so a repair job doesn't go to the shop down the street because nobody picked up.

The problem

A ringing phone doesn't stop for a brake job.

Whoever's closest to the phone is usually elbow-deep in an engine bay, not standing at a desk. Calls go unanswered, or someone has to stop mid-repair to jog over and pick up — bad for the car on the lift and bad for whoever's waiting on hold.

A repair job is worth a lot more than a single haircut or manicure — losing one because nobody answered isn't a small miss, it's real revenue walking to a competitor.

Vanguard answers every time, whether your whole team is under a hood or the shop's closed for the night.

How it works

From missed call to booked bay.

  1. Forward your shop's line.
    Keep your same number — no new number to hand out.

  2. A caller asks about a service.
    Oil change, brakes, alignment, whatever you offer, with your real prices — Vanguard already knows it, because you set it up once.

  3. Vanguard checks and confirms.
    It checks your existing Vanguard appointments so two callers can't get booked for the same slot, then confirms the new one on the spot.

  4. It's in your app.
    You see the new appointment before your advisor is back at the desk.

Built for shops like yours

Why auto repair shops use Vanguard.

Greasy hands don't stop the phone from ringing — Vanguard does the picking up

Answers 24/7, including after close and during a full bay day.

Every quote matches your real price list

Oil changes, brakes, alignments — Vanguard quotes exactly what you set up, every call.

Two customers, zero scheduling conflicts

Vanguard checks your existing Vanguard appointments before confirming a new one.

Diagnostics become a callback, not a lost customer

Anything that needs the car in front of someone first is taken as a message with a name and number.

English and Spanish, same line

No transfer, no second number — Vanguard follows the caller's language automatically.

Questions

Shop owners ask us.

No. The free trial runs for 14 days or 100 minutes, whichever comes first, with no credit card required — same voice, same AI model, same phone number, and no charge if you go past the minutes.
Yes — you set them up once (oil changes, brakes, alignments, whatever you offer, with your real prices) and Vanguard quotes them correctly on every call.
If you want that asked every time, tell us when you set up your business and Vanguard will ask for it on every call — it's not automatic out of the box, but it's easy to set up.
No — it books against your Vanguard schedule only, not any shop management system you already use. If you run appointments in both places, you'll need to check both until everything lives in one system.
It answers the call and takes down what's going on and a callback number, like any other call — it doesn't do automatic emergency dispatch or towing coordination.
No. You keep your number and forward calls to Vanguard — all of them, or just the ones you don't pick up.
