Every auto shop knows the phone can either drive revenue or quietly cost you business.
When your service advisors are helping customers at the counter, coordinating with technicians, and managing the day-to-day flow of the shop, the phone keeps ringing. And when calls go unanswered, opportunities don’t wait around. They move on to the next shop.
That’s exactly why we built the AI Executive Assistant—a modern, intelligent virtual receptionist for auto shops that doesn’t just answer calls, but actually understands them, responds naturally, and routes them with purpose.
Let’s be honest—most call answering systems haven’t evolved.
These menu-based systems are outdated, frustrating, and often create friction before the conversation even begins. Customers don’t want to navigate a maze just to ask a simple question. And worse, they can’t explain what they need upfront, which leads to misrouted calls and wasted time.
Voicemail isn’t much better. Customers rarely leave messages anymore. If they don’t get an answer right away, they move on.
That’s where the AI Executive Assistant that acts as a human receptionist stands apart.
The AI Executive Assistant replaces rigid menus and missed calls with real conversation.
Instead of forcing customers to “press 1,” it allows them to simply say what they need:
From there, the system understands the request, asks follow-up questions if needed, and routes the call to the right person or department.
This conversational approach is what makes it powerful. It removes friction, improves the customer experience, and ensures calls are handled properly from the very first interaction.
There are plenty of AI tools out there claiming to answer calls. But most fall into one of two categories:
The AI Executive Assistant is different because it was built specifically for auto repair shops, with real-world workflows in mind.
It doesn’t just answer calls. It understands the business behind them.
It can:
This is not a generic chatbot. It’s a purpose-built system designed to support how your shop actually operates.
Your phone is one of the most important touchpoints in your business. But without the right system in place, it can quickly become a bottleneck.
The AI virtual receptionist ensures:
Instead of interrupting your service advisors every few minutes, it acts as a virtual receptionist, filters out routine questions and allows them to focus on high-value conversations.
That means:
At In Motion Brands, we didn’t build this in a vacuum.
Since launching in 2021, we’ve worked closely with shop owners across North America. Over the years, we’ve learned what actually drives growth in this industry—and what gets in the way.
We’ve never been interested in transactional, one-off solutions. Our focus has always been on helping shop owners:
That’s why our clients meet regularly with our managing partners to review not just marketing performance, but the broader business drivers behind their success.
The AI Executive Assistant is a direct extension of that philosophy.
One of the biggest advantages of this system is what happens after the call.
We don’t just answer calls—we analyze them.
Our team has developed integrations that allow us to:
This level of insight helps shops continuously improve, turning their phone process into a measurable and optimized part of their business.
Not every shop is the right fit for what we offer—and we’re okay with that.
Over time, we’ve learned that the best results come from working with clients who value:
We’ve even made decisions to not expand in certain markets when the data showed it would negatively impact our existing clients. That’s not common in our industry, but it reflects how seriously we take our partnerships.
Because when our clients grow, we grow.
While the AI Executive Assistant is a powerful tool on its own, it’s part of a larger ecosystem designed to drive results.
Our core services include:
Everything we build is designed with one goal in mind:
To help you get more customers, keep them, and grow your business.
