Auto Repair
AI receptionist for auto repair shops in Canada
Answer every call, book every job. Cedri is Canada's Bilingual AI Receptionist. It answers your auto shop phone 24 hours a day, in English and French, and books Oil Change, Brake Service and Diagnostic Check into the calendar in your Cedri app while the caller is still on the line. When a caller describes an emergency, Cedri puts them through to the number you set, or takes an urgent message if you have not set one. You get a text after every call.

What Cedri does on an auto repair call
Cedri starts with the services it finds on your website or business listing, or with Oil Change, Brake Service and Diagnostic Check if it finds none, so it can take a real booking on the very first call. Add, rename or remove services in the app any time.
Answers in English and French
Callers are answered in the language they speak, on the same line, with no menu to press through.
Books the job, not a message
Cedri reads your live availability and locks in a real slot before the caller hangs up.
Passes the call to you
When a caller asks for a person, Cedri can put the call through to a number you choose.
Texts the caller, and you
The caller gets a confirmation text when the booking is made and a reminder the day before. They can reply 2 to cancel. You get a text with their number and a short summary after every call.
What Cedri asks a caller before booking
A booking is only worth having when it arrives with the details. Before it books, Cedri asks for the make, model and year, what the car is doing, and whether it can still be driven. The answers are written on the booking you see in the app.
The vehicle before the appointment
A garage cannot plan anything useful without knowing what is coming in. Cedri asks for the make, model and year, what the car is doing, and whether it can still be driven, and all three are on the booking before your service advisor opens it. Whether you work on that vehicle stays your call: Cedri passes the details along instead of promising anyone you can take their car. A caller who would rather drop in is told what the schedule looks like instead of being turned away.
Warranty terms live on your estimate
Any warranty depends on the repair and the parts, so the template says your team confirms it on the estimate before work starts.
Symptoms in the caller’s words
Cedri writes down what the driver describes rather than naming a fault. Naming it is what the diagnostic check is for.
A car stranded on the road reaches you
When a caller is stranded on the road, Cedri takes the location, their number and what is happening, then transfers the call to your transfer number, even after closing. With no transfer number set, it takes an urgent message.
An answering service for auto repair shops that books the job
A traditional answering service takes a message, often billed by the minute. Cedri answers every auto repair call 24 hours a day, in English and French, and the job is in your calendar before the caller hangs up. You keep your number: forward every call to Cedri, or only the ones you miss.

What callers ask, and what Cedri says
Here is some of what Cedri says from the very first call, before you change anything. These answers send questions about your licence, your insurance and your warranties to you. Cedri says a price only when it finds one in your service list, your answers or your website, so check those prices in the app before you go live. Edit any answer in the app.
A caller asks: “Do I need an appointment?”
Cedri answers: “Booking ahead is the surest way to get a spot. If you’d rather drop in, tell me and I’ll check what the schedule looks like.”
A caller asks: “What vehicles do you service?”
Cedri answers: “Tell me the make, model and year and I’ll pass it along so the team can confirm they work on it.”
A caller asks: “Do you offer a warranty?”
Cedri answers: “Any warranty depends on the repair and on the parts used. The team confirms what applies on your estimate before any work starts.”
