Automotive
Fill your service bays and boost customer retention
Automated service reminders, appointment scheduling, and video estimates. Built for dealerships and independent repair shops.
The Challenge
Automotive businesses leave money on the table
Missed service calls, lack of follow-up, and disconnected departments hurt revenue and customer retention.
Lost Service Appointments
Customers call for service while your advisors are with other customers. Calls go to voicemail. They book with a competitor.
No Recall Follow-Up
Customers due for maintenance never get contacted. Your service bays sit empty while competitors fill their schedules.
Sales and Service Siloed
Sales and service departments cannot transfer calls smoothly. Customer history is fragmented. Experience feels disconnected.

Common questions about automotive communications
How does AI service appointment scheduling work?
The AI connects to your DMS (dealer management system) to check service advisor availability in real-time. It asks about the vehicle concern, recommends service types, and offers available times. Customers confirm appointments by voice or text. The appointment appears in your DMS immediately with customer confirmation sent automatically.
Can you integrate with our DMS?
Yes. SIPSTACK integrates with leading DMS platforms via API. Integration enables caller ID with customer and vehicle history, appointment creation, and service reminder automation. Custom integrations available for proprietary systems.
How do maintenance recalls work?
SIPSTACK monitors your DMS for customers due for service based on last visit date and mileage. The AI automatically calls and texts these customers offering appointment times. If they do not respond, follow-up attempts continue per your settings. Most dealerships see an increase in service appointments.
What about video estimates for repairs?
Technicians use the mobile app to record video walkarounds showing recommended repairs. Videos are sent to customers via text with approval links. Customers can approve or decline each line item. Approved work begins immediately. This increases approval rates compared to phone-only estimates.
Can we use this across multiple dealership locations?
Absolutely. Many auto groups use SIPSTACK across all their stores. You can have location-specific phone numbers that all route through one system. Transfer calls between locations seamlessly. Centralized reporting gives visibility into call volume, appointments, and conversion across all stores.
