Try the receptionist liveIt asks what your team would ask
Every enquiry is qualified with the questions you approve — so what reaches your team is ready to act on.
What is the registration and vehicle model?
What service or fault is involved?
Is the vehicle safe and able to move?
When is the MOT due?
Is a courtesy vehicle required?
What days work for drop-off?
It knows its limits
Anything outside its approved knowledge becomes a captured callback — never a guess. Urgent situations follow the exact escalation steps you define during setup, and you can tighten the rules whenever you like.
- Breakdown calls where the vehicle is in a live lane or unsafe location are told to contact their breakdown provider or 999 first, using your approved wording
- Never gives regulated advice — it captures the matter and books the conversation with a qualified person
- Confidential and sensitive enquiries are handled with wording you approve, and nothing is discussed beyond it
- Urgent matters from existing clients skip the queue and reach the right person immediately
Set up for you in three steps
We learn your business
Your services, coverage, pricing rules, opening hours and escalation contacts become one approved knowledge base — signed off by you.
You test it privately
A private demo line and chat built around your business. Try to break it. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
Calls and chats go live
A simple divert on your existing number and a snippet on your website. Every conversation becomes a structured summary.
Works alongside the tools you already use — it can send booking links or create structured booking requests for your team to confirm.
What garages & mechanics usually ask
No. It can sit behind your existing team and answer only when the line is busy, unanswered or closed. It can also handle all first-response enquiries if that suits your workflow.
Avail-able can send booking links and structured requests without a deep integration. Direct availability and booking can be enabled where your calendar or business software provides suitable authorised access.
It says that your team will confirm, captures the caller or visitor details, and routes the enquiry. It does not invent answers.
Yes. It is trained on your approved services, pricing guidance, policies, coverage and tone. You test it privately and sign off before it handles live enquiries.
No. Your existing number can divert calls on busy, no answer or after hours. A separate campaign number can also be used when required.
A focused deployment can usually be prepared within about a week once your services, rules and escalation contacts have been supplied and approved.
