An AI workforce for auto shops

Run the bays.
Not the to-do list.

Sarah answers the "is my car ready?" texts before they pile up and sends the inspection results for approval. Nova follows up the brake job the customer declined in March, so deferred work comes back instead of driving off. Atlas reshuffles the board when a comeback eats a bay. Pico asks for the review the second the car is done.

For the customer still waiting on a quote you meant to text.

Why now

Nearly half of the work a shop recommends drives off un-approved — and most of it is never followed up on

BOLT ON Technology / MOTOR, 2026

A customer defers the brakes until next month, and next month no one calls. Sarah sends the inspection results and a reminder when the work comes due; Nova follows up on the quotes that went quiet, so deferred work comes back instead of driving off for good.

For auto repair, tire shops & detailers

Start with examples.
Create the rest.

Customers. New work. Retention. The board. Declined jobs, cars done-but-not-followed-up, reviews never asked for, a bay sitting empty — different managers catch different ones.

  • "Your car's ready" goes out the minute the tech closes the ticket, not whenever someone finally gets to it

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 system.

Questions

Auto repair, answered.

How does Automola work for auto repair?

Sarah answers the "is my car ready?" texts before they pile up and sends the inspection results for approval. Nova follows up the brake job the customer declined in March, so deferred work comes back instead of driving off. Atlas reshuffles the board when a comeback eats a bay. Pico asks for the review the second the car is done. You hire managers by function — Sarah, Pico, Nova, 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, follow-up, new work, and the board. Routine actions run on their own inside your rules; anything sensitive — a public reply, access change, new promise, or customer-sensitive situation — 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; public messages, access changes, new promises, 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.
