Automotive Dealerships

Every missed call is a missed RO. We answer them all.

AI phone agents that answer every service call on the first ring, book appointments directly into your DMS, and convert more callers into repair orders — 24/7, including nights, weekends, and the lunch rush your BDC can't cover.

The Problem

Your service drive is printing money. Your phones are leaving it on the table.

Fixed ops is the most profitable department in the dealership — but the front door to that revenue is a ringing phone that nobody picks up.

Service advisors are with customers. BDC reps are at lunch. After-hours calls go to voicemail and never get returned. Every unanswered call is a repair order that walks to the independent shop down the street.

Flexbone AI Active
Inbound Service Call
Flexbone"Thanks for calling the service department. How can I help you today?"
Customer"Hi, I need to get my oil changed on my 2021 Camry. Can I get an appointment this week?"
Flexbone"Absolutely. I've got openings Thursday at 9:30 AM and Friday at 2:00 PM. Which works better for you?"
Customer"Thursday at 9:30 works."
Flexbone"You're all set. Thursday at 9:30 AM for a synthetic oil change on your 2021 Camry. I'm also seeing you're due for a tire rotation based on your mileage — want me to add that?"
Customer"Yeah, let's do it."

Nobody answers during peak hours

Monday mornings. Lunch breaks. 4:45 PM. These are exactly when customers call — and exactly when your team is slammed. Calls roll to voicemail. Customers hang up and call the next shop.

BDC staffing is a constant headache

Turnover in dealer BDCs runs 30–50% annually. Training takes weeks. You're either overstaffed and burning payroll or understaffed and missing revenue. There's no good equilibrium.

After-hours is a black hole

Customers Google "oil change near me" at 9 PM and call. They get a voicemail. They don't leave a message. They book with the competitor who answered. You never even know it happened.

Booked appointments don't stick

Even when calls get answered, the handoff is sloppy. Appointments get entered wrong, confirmation calls don't go out, customers no-show. The service lane has empty bays while the phone log shows 40 bookings.

Service Dashboard

Every Appointment, Every Call, One View

Every call the AI handles shows up in real time — customer identified, service matched, appointment booked, confirmation sent. Your service manager sees it all without touching the phone.

What We Automate

AI that books like your best service advisor — on every single call.

Not a phone tree. Not an IVR. A conversational AI agent that understands service scheduling, talks to your DMS, and gets customers on the books in under two minutes.

01

First-Ring Inbound Call Answering

Every service call answered instantly — no hold music, no "please listen carefully as our menu options have changed." AI handles the conversation naturally, identifies what the customer needs, and moves straight to booking. After hours, weekends, holidays — doesn't matter.

Zero Hold TimeAfter-HoursWeekend & HolidayOverflow
02

Live DMS Appointment Booking

AI books directly into your scheduling system — XTime, CDK, Reynolds, Tekion, or whatever your dealership runs. Checks advisor availability, matches the right service type to the right time slot and bay capacity, confirms with the customer, and sends the confirmation text.

XTimeCDK / ReynoldsTekionReal-Time Availability
03

Service Menu & Pricing Intelligence

Customers call asking "how much for brakes on my 2019 Camry?" AI knows your service menu, your pricing, your current specials. It quotes accurately, recommends manufacturer-suggested maintenance based on mileage, and upsells relevant services naturally.

04

Recall & Warranty Routing

Customer calls about a recall notice. AI verifies the recall applies to their VIN, confirms parts availability logic, and books the appointment with the right time allocation. For warranty work, AI captures symptom details and routes to the appropriate advisor.

05

Confirmation & No-Show Recovery

After booking, AI handles the entire confirmation sequence — day-before reminder calls, morning-of texts, and if a customer no-shows, an immediate outbound call to reschedule. Keeps your service lane full and your advisors focused on customers in front of them.

Post-Call Workflow & Handoff

This is where most competitors stop at the booking. Flexbone keeps going. After the call, AI can trigger downstream workflows — create the RO shell in the DMS, notify the parts department, flag VIP or fleet customers for advisor prep, and log the full transcript.

Beyond the Booking

Everyone can answer a call. We automate what happens after.

The market is full of AI voice bots that answer calls and book appointments. That's table stakes. The reason dealers still struggle isn't the booking — it's everything around it. The confirmation that didn't go out. The parts that weren't ordered. The advisor who didn't know the customer's history. The no-show that never got a callback.

For Dealer Groups

One AI layer across every rooftop. Finally, consistent service scheduling.

Whether you're running 5 stores or 150, the problem is the same: every location answers phones differently, books differently, and loses customers differently. Flexbone gives you a single AI system across all rooftops — same customer experience, same booking accuracy, same reporting.

Centralized Call Handling, Localized Execution

One system that knows each store's service menu, hours, advisors, and DMS. Customers always reach the right location with the right information.

Standardize Across Acquisitions

Just bought three stores running three different DMS platforms? Flexbone works across all of them without requiring migration or retraining.

Group-Wide Analytics

See call volume, answer rates, booking conversion, and no-show rates across every rooftop in one dashboard. Spot the stores that are leaking and fix them.

Reduce BDC Headcount Dependency

Stop trying to staff a 12-person BDC across multiple locations. AI handles the volume. Your people handle the exceptions.

  • No-shows sit in empty bays while advisors chase callbacks
  • No visibility into call performance across rooftops

Who This Is For

From single-point dealers to national groups.

Single-Point Franchised Dealers

Can't justify a full BDC team but can't afford to miss calls either. Flexbone gives you enterprise-level phone coverage at a fraction of BDC payroll. Your service advisors stay on the drive, not on the phone.

Multi-Rooftop Dealer Groups

5–50 locations with inconsistent call handling across stores. Flexbone normalizes the customer experience and gives your ops team visibility into every location's phone performance.

Fixed Ops–Focused Groups

Service absorption is your metric. Every unanswered call is a hit to your absorption rate. AI ensures maximum appointment capture so your bays stay full and your fixed ops covers the overhead.

Independent & Multi-Brand Dealers

Running Toyota, Honda, and Chevy under one roof with different service menus and recall logic? AI handles the complexity of multi-brand scheduling without mixing up customers or appointments.

Dealer BDCs & Centralized Call Centers

Already have a BDC? Flexbone handles the overflow and after-hours volume your team can't cover. AI works alongside your reps, not instead of them — catching the calls that currently go to voicemail.

Security & Compliance

Enterprise-Grade from Day One

Built for organizations that handle customer PII and financial data.

Encryption

How We Deploy

Built Around Your Dealership, Not a Generic Template

A single-point dealer doesn't operate the same way as a 40-rooftop group with centralized BDC and multiple DMS platforms. Flexbone deploys a team that learns your workflows and builds the AI around how your dealership actually runs.

01

Week 1 — Discovery & Mapping

We learn your service workflow, DMS setup, service menu, scheduling rules, advisor assignments, and after-hours coverage needs.

02

Week 2 — Build & Integration

We configure the AI agents, integrate with your DMS and phone system, build your dashboard, and test against real service call scenarios from your stores.

03

Week 3 — Go-Live

Service calls start flowing through the AI. Your team has full visibility in the dashboard while we monitor booking accuracy and call quality in real time.

04

Week 4 — Optimize & Harden

We tune accuracy, add edge cases, and iterate with your team daily. Ongoing optimization continues as your service menu changes, new advisors join, and you add rooftops.
