AI receptionist for tyre shops
The short answer
Last updated
How it works for tyre shops
Most callers don't know their tyre size. That's fine.
Tyre price calls stall because the caller doesn't know the size. FirstVoice gets past that on the first call, then books the fitting.
- Can text the caller a link to send a photo of the tyre sidewall, so you know the size
- Answers price and stock questions from the information you give us
- Books fitting, puncture repair and wheel alignment slots
- Treats a blowout at the roadside or a same-day fitting before a trip as a priority
- Takes fleet account enquiries and passes them on
