Sample conversation
Morning, my MOT is due on the 24th and I'd like you to check it over first. Oil change too
Morning Mark. What car is it? The oil price depends on the engine.
Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost, 2019
For that engine, oil and filter is €89. The pre-MOT check is €30 and if all's fine there's nothing else to pay. I can fit you in Tuesday the 21st at 9:00, ready by the afternoon.
Great. The front tyres are getting low too, have you got any?
I can order two Michelin 205/55 R16 at €105 each, fitted and balanced. To order them we take a €50 deposit, deducted from the invoice:
Done
The problem
Bookings and quotes you lose while you're under a car
With greasy hands nobody picks up the phone. And a customer calling to book won't wait: they try the next garage on Google.
- Missed calls during the day that only get returned at closing time.
- Customers asking «is my car ready yet?» again and again, interrupting the work.
- Price requests on WhatsApp left unanswered that go to another garage.
- Services and oil changes nobody reminds the customer about, so they get them done elsewhere.

Use cases
From a WhatsApp quote to the car-ready message
Booking a service, oil change or pre-MOT
The customer gives the car and what it needs. The agent gives an estimate, offers a slot based on job length and confirms with a reminder.
Tyres
Asks for the size (or a photo of the sidewall), offers options with fitted prices, takes the order deposit and books the fitting.
Car-ready notice
You mark the job complete in the dashboard or your software sends a webhook, and the customer gets a WhatsApp with the amount and pickup times.
Maintenance reminder
A year after the last oil change, or a month before the MOT, the agent messages the customer and suggests a booking.

In plain terms: what is a WhatsApp chatbot for garages
It's an assistant that replies for you on WhatsApp using your garage's information: services, opening hours, price estimates, turnaround times and how you work. It writes like a person, in short messages, collects the car details and books by job length.
It doesn't diagnose faults or give fixed quotes for repairs. For a service, an oil change or tyres it can estimate using your rates. For a strange noise or a warning light, it explains the car needs looking at and books it in. If the customer asks for a person or things get complicated, it hands over to someone at the garage.
Day to day it takes care of the repetitive bits: garage bookings on WhatsApp based on job length, WhatsApp quotes for routine jobs and a car-ready message on WhatsApp when you finish. The point is to stop losing customers because you can't get to the phone, and to stop answering ten times a day whether a car is ready.

Yes. Connect it by scanning a QR code in 2 minutes or through the official Meta API.
Can it give garage quotes on WhatsApp?
Yes, as estimates: it quotes routine jobs using the rates you set. It doesn't give fixed quotes; faults that need diagnosing are left until you've seen the car.

Yes. It checks your diary (built-in or synced with Google Calendar), offers slots based on job length, confirms the booking and sends a reminder 24 hours before.
What if it doesn't know the answer?
It tells the customer it will check and hands the conversation to someone at the garage, who replies from the dashboard.
Can it tell customers on WhatsApp when their car is ready?
Yes. You mark the job as done in the dashboard, or your garage software sends it via webhook, and the agent messages the customer on WhatsApp with the amount and pickup times.
Does it connect to my garage management software?
There are no native integrations with every system, but you get a public API and webhooks to connect it directly or through n8n, Make or Zapier.
Can it take phone calls too?
Yes, with the voice agent: it uses your garage's cloned voice, replies in under a second, handles interruptions and transfers to a person when needed.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. We're a Spanish company based in Granada, data is handled under GDPR and you have human support.
