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
The day runs on the diary. The phone rings for bookings, changes and the same handful of questions — often while you're mid-appointment with someone else. No-shows leave gaps you can't fill, reminders happen by hand (or not at all), and the front desk carries a load that has nothing to do with the service you're actually brilliant at.
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.
Common questions
Will it know my prices and services?
Yes — we set it up around your actual pricing and services so its answers match how you really work.
Will it work with my booking system?
Usually yes — we fit AI around the tools you already use wherever we can.
How much does it cost?
A first assistant or automation usually starts around £2,000–£5,000 plus a little each month, all + VAT. It depends on your setup, and the first chat is free.
