An AI workforce for auto shops

Run the bays.
Not the to-do list.

Automola connects bookings, front desk messages, reviews, waitlists, and customer follow-up so appointments and repeat visits keep moving.

For the booking, no-show, review, or repeat visit your front desk should not have to chase manually.

She felt ignored after the reschedule. I drafted an apology and a way to make it right — your word before it posts.

Why now

23% of online leads never get a reply at all — the rest wait an average of 42 hours

Harvard Business Review, 2011

A customer fills out a form or messages a few shops and books whoever replies first. Sarah replies and sends the status updates; Nova follows up on the quotes that went quiet.

For auto repair, tire shops & detailers

Start with examples.
Create the rest.

Bookings. Customers. Schedule. Retention. Start with the moments that keep the day full, then create managers for the rest.

Integrations

Your tools stay.
Work moves between them.

Bring the software you already use. If a tool has an API, webhook, integration, or exportable signal, Automola can run a coded workflow across it. What’s below is a starting point — not a limit.

It listens across the stack.

Jobs, leads, inboxes, reviews, calendars, service history, APIs, and workflow triggers you already have.

It acts across platforms.

Research a lead, move a job, draft a reply, update a deal, ask for a review, call an API, or run a webhook — from one workflow.

Humans stay in control.

Public replies, access changes, new promises, and customer-sensitive messages wait for your word before anything risky goes out.

Your team can run it too

Your team gets lanes.
You keep the rules.

Invite the people who already help run auto repair. Each person sees the work, receipts, and approvals you assign.

The company moves without becoming a free-for-all.

How control stays yours

Work moves quietly.
Control stays visible.

Receipts for the work.

Every action links back to the message, job, customer note, or source record behind it.

Sensitive work waits.

Risky moves arrive as one card: the situation, the recommendation, and the draft.

Routine work runs.

Inside the line you set, managers handle the repeated work and log it.

One tap stops it.

Pause a workflow, change a rule, or route the decision to someone you trust.

Your rules decide what runs, what waits, and who can approve it. Your data stays in your accounts, read to do the work, never sold, never used to train anyone else’s.

Questions

Auto repair, answered.

How does Automola work for auto repair?

Automola connects bookings, front desk messages, reviews, waitlists, and customer follow-up so appointments and repeat visits keep moving. You hire managers by function — Sarah and Atlas — and they run the routine across the tools you already use, bringing you only the decisions that need your word.

What does Automola handle for auto repair without me?

The recurring work that keeps pulling you back in, across customers, bookings, schedule, and the board. Routine actions run on their own inside your rules; anything sensitive — a public reply, a refund, a big spend — is drafted and held for your word.

Which tools does Automola connect for auto repair?

The software you already run, including Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, Mitchell 1, and Google Business Profile. Your tools stay in place — Automola connects the handoffs around them and leaves a receipt for every action.

Who stays in control?

You do. You set what each manager may do and what needs your approval; big spend, public messages, and sensitive replies wait for an Approve or Hold. Every action leaves a receipt you can open, and you can change a rule or pause a workflow any time.

What does Automola cost, and how do I start?

It is free during the invite-only private beta — we onboard ten companies a week, and a real person helps set up your company in its first month. Paid pricing is per manager, never per seat, and arrives when we open to general access.

The next move

Start with one manager.Keep control.

Connect Shopmonkey, Tekmetric and Mitchell 1 and the rest of the stack you already use. Choose the workflow that keeps pulling you back in, set the approval rules, then let the work start moving.
