The calls you can’t take.
Answered while you work.
Detailing is two hands on a machine for hours: a rotary polisher, a steam wand, a vacuum in a footwell. You can't stop mid-correction to answer, and you're not taking a call with wet microfiber in one hand. Spring pollen and winter road salt bring a wave of calls, and the ones that go to voicemail rarely call back.
Questions about ceramic coating, paint correction or headlight restoration
It answers from the service descriptions you've approved and passes the inquiry to you, so you can talk through the paint and the options yourself.
"How much for a full interior on a minivan?"
It never states a price. Size, condition and pet hair all change the job, so it tells the caller the team will go through pricing when they call back.
"Do I need to give you water and power?" or "Can you do it at my office?"
It answers from the FAQs and service area you've set up, and takes a message if the answer isn't there.

Your business.
In your own words.
You teach it in plain words during setup, and it only uses answers you approve. For a auto detailing business, start with these.
Your packages and what each one includes, so it can describe them without quoting a price
Your service area for mobile work, and whether you also have a shop customers can drop off at
What you need on site: water, a power outlet, shade or a garage
The specialist work you do and don't do: ceramic coating, paint correction, boats, RVs, fleet and dealer work
A few good
questions.
What auto detailers ask before the first hello.
Will it tell callers what a detail costs?
No. It never states a price, even for your standard packages. It tells the caller the team will go through pricing when they call back, so you can ask about the vehicle's condition first.
I'm mobile. Will it get the right address?
Yes. It asks where the vehicle will be, including the ZIP code, so you know whether it's a driveway, an apartment lot or an office parking garage before you call back.
Can it explain the difference between a coating and a wax?
Only in your words. Add an FAQ about coatings, correction or sealants and it will answer from that. Anything you haven't written, it takes as a message for you.
Does it book the slot?
No. It asks once when suits the customer and passes that on. You confirm the day when you call back, which matters when one correction job can take a whole day.
Do I need a new phone number?
No. You can forward the number on your van and your listings to Avowis, or get a new local number from us.
