Automation examples for your garage
AI for auto repair shops is an assistant that handles bookings, sends quotes with follow-up and lets customers know when their vehicle is ready. At Aventib we connect it to your garage's WhatsApp and to your workshop software or diary, so you stop putting your tools down every time someone calls to ask about their car.
What interrupts the work in a garage?
Calls with greasy hands
You are changing brake pads and the phone rings. Washing your hands to answer every call costs you workshop time several times a day.
Is my car ready yet?
A large share of calls are customers asking whether their vehicle is finished. It is a fair question, but asked twenty times a day it throws the day off.
Quotes left waiting
You find the timing belt needs replacing, send the quote and the customer does not reply. The car takes up space in the workshop and the job cannot move on.
Services that get forgotten
Your customers do not remember when the oil change or the ITV (Spain's equivalent of the MOT) is due. If nobody reminds them, they end up going to another garage or waiting until something breaks.
What AI for auto repair shops can do
Tell us what you need
Garage booking on WhatsApp
The customer gives the registration, model and what is wrong with the car, and the assistant offers free slots based on the type of job. The booking goes into your diary with the vehicle details already noted.
Quotes with follow-up
The quote reaches the customer on WhatsApp with a button to accept it or ask questions. If they do not reply within the time you set, they get a reminder and you can see the status of each one.
Car-ready alert
When you mark a job as finished, the customer receives a message with collection times and the amount, if you choose. No more calls asking.
Service and ITV reminders
Based on the date and mileage of the last service, the system lets each customer know when maintenance, an oil change or the ITV is coming up, and offers them a booking.

We improve your Google Business Profile and ask happy customers for reviews, so you appear when someone looks for a trusted garage nearby.
How a typical Wednesday works in your garage
An example of how it works. Every business is set up to fit.
- Booking requested before opening
A customer messages to say their brakes are squealing. The assistant takes the registration and model and books them in first thing the next day.
- Quote sent
While checking another car, you see the shock absorbers need replacing. You send the quote from your phone and the customer receives it on WhatsApp.
- Quote approved
The customer accepts it from the message. You get the confirmation and can order the parts without making a single call.
- Car ready, customer told
You finish a service and mark it as done. The customer receives the alert with collection times.
- Maintenance reminder
Several customers whose last service was a year ago receive a message inviting them to book an oil change.
Benefits of AI for auto repair shops
Fewer calls means fewer interruptions and more time spent on repairs, which is what the garage bills for.
Quotes are answered sooner and finished vehicles are collected on time, so space in the workshop turns over better.
Service reminders keep you in touch with every customer and make it easier for them to come back to your garage for the next service.

Frequently asked questions about AI for auto repair shops
How does garage booking on WhatsApp work?
The customer messages the garage's WhatsApp, the assistant asks for the registration, model and reason for the visit and offers the available slots. The booking is saved in your diary. If the problem seems urgent or complex, it alerts you so you can assess it.
Does AI for auto repair shops diagnose faults?
No. It can collect the symptoms the customer describes so you arrive at the booking with more information, but diagnosis and repair are always done by a mechanic. The assistant gives no technical advice on vehicle safety.
Does it integrate with my auto repair shop software?
It depends on the software. Some allow the diary and job card status to be connected, and others do not. We check this at the start. If there is no connection, we set up a simple way to mark jobs as finished from your phone.
How is the car-ready alert sent?
When you mark the job as finished in your system or from your phone, a message goes out automatically to the customer with collection times. You decide what information it includes and whether the amount is added.
How much does AI for a garage cost?
It depends on what you want to automate, how many customers you have and the tools you already use. We do not give fixed prices without knowing your garage. After talking to you, we send you a clear proposal with everything set out.
Does it work for body shops or motorbike garages?
Yes. In body and paint shops it helps a lot with quotes and photos of damage, and in motorbike garages with seasonal services. We adapt the messages and questions to the type of work you do.
Shall we talk about your business?
We'll reply with a first idea of how we can help. No commitment.
