AI for garages, MOT centres & dealers
In a garage the phone always rings when your hands are full. Katalis helps garages, MOT centres and dealers use AI to catch every booking and enquiry, so a missed call stops being lost work.
There’s no one-size-fits-all AI
A garage day is planned around ramp time: MOTs, services and repairs booked into slots, with breakdowns and walk-ins squeezed in. Once a car is up, the job often grows, and the customer has to be called and the extra work priced and approved before it goes ahead. Parts get ordered on the day, customers ring to ask if the car's ready, and every car you've ever seen comes due for its MOT again.
What you probably already use
AI slots into what you’ve got — we don’t make you rip it out and start again.
Where AI helps depends on your setup
If you take bookings by phone only…
…the first win is usually a 24/7 assistant that answers, books people in and cuts the interruptions, so the phone stops running your day.
If you're already on an online booking system…
…it's less about booking and more about no-shows and questions — reminders that quietly fill gaps, and FAQs answered round the clock.
If it's mostly just you…
…taking the front-desk admin off you is the single biggest time-saver — you get your evenings back, not only your appointment slots.
Where AI actually helps
The phone rings while you're under a car.
A 24/7 assistant books MOTs and services and answers pricing and availability, so you don't stop the job to catch the phone.
No-shows leave the ramps empty.
Automatic reminders confirm bookings and cut the gaps in your day.
Quoting and chasing approval for extra work.
Draft clear quotes and follow up for approval automatically, so work isn't held up waiting on a callback.
