AI Solutions for Auto Repair & Dealerships
AI for auto repair shops, body shops, ITV centres and dealerships, whatsApp booking, photo damage estimation, parts OCR and follow-ups.
What AI for Automotive Can Do for Your Business
- Booking and Quoting by Chat: We deploy a WhatsApp bot that books services and quotes common jobs (oil change, ITV prep, brake pads) with real-time calendar access, an AI that estimates repair cost from customer-sent photos for insurance claims, parts-invoice OCR into your management software, and automated follow-up nudges after the car is picked up.
- Damage Estimation from Photos: Customer sends crash photos via WhatsApp and AI estimates parts and labor in a pre-diagnostic, great for insurance claims.
- Parts Invoice OCR: Supplier invoices read and pushed into your management software automatically, no typing.
- Pickup Follow-Up & Review Nudge: After the car is picked up, AI sends a WhatsApp follow-up and a Google review request in the customer language.
- Dealership Lead Qualification: For dealers, aI qualifies Coches.net / Wallapop leads 24/7, books test drives directly.
- Bilingual Service: Our bilingual team ships English and Spanish content natively. Your AI agent speaks your customers' language without awkward translations.
- Work Order to Invoice: Parts, labour hours and warranty items turned into an invoice the customer understands, with the insurer paperwork filled in the same pass.
- Parts Purchasing and Margin: Supplier invoices matched against parts fitted, flagging price rises and telling you the real margin per job rather than per month.
- Workshop Load and Mechanic Hours: Bay occupancy planned from booked jobs, with billable versus worked hours compared per mechanic.
- Warranty and Insurer Claims: Warranty claims and insurer authorisations prepared with photos and estimates, and chased until they are paid.
- Vehicle Condition on Arrival: Existing dents and scratches recorded automatically when the car enters, which ends the argument about whether the workshop caused it.
- Bay Occupancy and Safety: Cameras show which bays are working, which are waiting on parts, and flag jobs running without the right protection.
- Translated for Whoever Picks It Up: When a conversation is handed to a person, the whole thread is translated into the language your staff work in, and their replies go back out in the customer's language. Nobody on your team has to understand the language the customer wrote in.
- Your Own Chat, Not Only WhatsApp: WhatsApp is one channel, not the plan. We build real-time chat straight into your own website or app, as we did for Boathous and ReservPark, and connect Instagram, web chat, email or the phone line to the same assistant, so the conversation lives where your customers already are.
- Fits the Tools You Already Run: Our bilingual team ships English and Spanish content natively. Your AI agent speaks your customers' language without awkward translations.

AI for Automotive: FAQ
Can the damage estimator really replace a first look?
Not fully, but it's accurate enough for insurance pre-authorisation and to save the customer a trip before they bring the car in. Final estimate always by the body-shop manager.
Do I need a specific management software?
No. We connect to whatever shop-management or accounting tool you already run (API or export). If you'd rather ditch it, we also build a custom shop-management layer in code on your cloud at a fraction of the long-term cost.
How much?
A workshop starter with WhatsApp, reception and invoices, damage estimation on top, and a dealership with lead qualification are three different scopes. A free call is enough to place yours and we send the number in writing.
Does the WhatsApp bot cover ITV prep?
Yes, booking pre-ITV inspections, post-fail re-checks, and reminders before annual expiry. It's one of the highest-ROI use cases.
Multilingual for tourist areas?
Any language the customer writes in, with no fixed list. It pays off in coastal towns where a good part of the residents are foreign.
Do you work with businesses across Spain and internationally remotely?
Yes. We work fully remotely with clients across Spain, Europe, the US and LATAM. We run video calls, live demos and collaborative documentation for every milestone, and we're available in your time zone.
