Your Mechanics Are Under the Hood.
Nobody's Answering the Phone.
Your bays are full, your techs are working, and the phone is ringing off the hook. That customer with a check engine light who needs an appointment today? They just called the shop down the road. Arkline AI makes sure every call gets answered — even when your hands are covered in grease.
You'll be talking to our AI receptionist right now — no demo needed.
Every Missed Call Is a Repair Job That Went Somewhere Else
Your phone is your lifeline. Oil changes, brake jobs, diagnostics, tire rotations — they all start with a phone call. Here's what happens when nobody picks up.
Here's the reality: A busy Monday morning, your shop gets 25+ calls. Your service writers are checking in vehicles, your techs are elbow-deep in engines. The phone rings and rings. A customer whose car broke down and needs a tow and a full diagnostic — that's $800+ gone. A fleet manager looking for a shop to handle 10 vehicles a month? $5,000+/month gone. And they're not calling back.
Two Auto Shops. Same Call Volume.
Completely different results.

Built for the Way Auto Shops Actually Operate
Arkline AI isn't a generic answering service. It's trained to handle the exact calls your shop gets every single day.
Service Appointments
Oil changes, brake jobs, tire rotations, check engine lights — Arkline AI books appointments with vehicle year/make/model, mileage, and the customer's description of the problem. Your service writer gets a complete summary.
Emergency & Breakdown Calls
When someone's car breaks down, they need help now — not a voicemail. Arkline AI captures the situation, location, and vehicle details, then alerts your team immediately so you can respond fast.
Estimates & General Inquiries
Pricing questions, hours, what services you offer, whether you work on their make/model — your front desk answers these questions dozens of times a day. Arkline AI handles them all instantly.
Questions Shop Owners Ask Us
Yes. Arkline AI asks for year, make, model, mileage, and the customer's description of the issue. Your service writer gets a complete intake form — no phone tag, no missing details.
Arkline AI recognizes urgency. When a caller describes a breakdown, flat tire, or roadside situation, it captures their location and vehicle details, then immediately alerts your team so you can dispatch or respond quickly.
We set it up with your standard pricing for common services — oil changes, brake pads, tire rotations, diagnostics, etc. For complex jobs that require an in-person look, the AI lets the caller know and books them an appointment to come in.
No. Arkline AI sounds like a friendly, professional service advisor. Callers won't know the difference — they'll just know someone actually picked up the phone and helped them. That's what matters.
Arkline AI can handle fleet inquiries — capturing company name, number of vehicles, service needs, and preferred scheduling. It flags these as high-value leads so your team can follow up personally.
Most auto repair shops are fully live within a few days. We customize everything — your services, pricing, hours, booking flow, and routing rules. You just show up for a short onboarding call and we handle the rest.
