1

Answer and intake

Ava captures the caller, vehicle context, service interest, symptoms or package, preferred timing, and callback details.

2

Separate routine from review

Routine maintenance and detailing can move toward a mock window; diagnosis-heavy, warranty, insurance, or safety-sensitive calls route to staff.

3

Create a shop handoff

The call ends with a mock appointment or callback path plus notes the service advisor can review before following up.

Tip

Keep it short and realistic. These details shape the agent's responses in real time.

Booking guardrails

Book routine service. Route diagnosis-heavy work.

Auto calls can start with simple scheduling, but repair advice, unsafe-driving questions, warranty coverage, insurance claims, and exact pricing need a service advisor.

Will do

  • Capture vehicle make or model, service interest, symptoms, preferred timing, and callback details.
  • Offer mock windows for routine maintenance, detailing, tire, or brake intake when rules allow.
  • Summarize service-advisor notes so the shop can follow up without reconstructing the call.

Will route

  • Diagnosis-heavy repair questions, warning lights, unsafe driving, or tow decisions.
  • Warranty, insurance, claims, exact pricing, parts availability, or payment-sensitive requests.
  • Unclear symptoms, urgent breakdowns, or anything that needs a service advisor before booking.

Common requests

Call summary

Caller intent, urgency, timing, location context, and review notes stay together after the call.

Next-step task

Bookable calls move to a mock appointment or request. Review-heavy calls become callback tasks.

Policy handoff

The handoff keeps the reason for staff review visible so the team can respond with context.
