Catch missed and after-hours auto shop calls and train advisors with the same AI

who Nick Collier, owner of Tire City Auto Repair, a three-location family business (and Tire Pros National Council member)

What it does

He started using Auto Shop Agents for call intake: catching calls that slip when everyone is busy, letting customers schedule after hours, and following up on missed opportunities. The same platform analyzes how each service advisor communicates and lets advisors practice scenarios on their own time.

The problem

Calls slip through when the shop is busy, after-hours callers cannot book, and formal advisor training gets squeezed out by daily volume.

What happened

As reported by MOTOR: he stayed engaged because of the training side, describing it as a built-in checklist advisors can practice with. He cautions that subscriptions stack up and shops should aim AI at their weakest workflow. No revenue figures given.
