What Are Your Service Pricing and Available Packages?

When Is the Earliest Service Appointment I Can Book?
Wondering when you can get in? You can often book the earliest appointment as soon as the next day, and sometimes same-day for urgent repairs, depending on demand and service type. Our AI-driven booking process checks real-time schedules across technicians and bays, delivering the earliest available slots instantly. You can access this 24/7 via online portals or AI call assistants, giving maximum appointment flexibility. Integration with CRM guarantees allocation is efficient and responsive, reducing wait time estimates and no-shows. When you request a time, the system shows confirmed openings and alternates; choose one and receive immediate confirmation. If availability is constrained, automated alerts will notify you of cancellations or earlier openings so you can move up.
Do You Offer Loaner Cars or Shuttle Service During Repairs?
Once you’ve booked an appointment, you’ll want to know how you’ll get around while your car’s in the shop — many dealerships offer loaner cars or shuttle service to keep your day on schedule. You should confirm loaner vehicle policies and shuttle service availability when scheduling so you’re not surprised.
After booking, confirm loaner car or shuttle availability and policies so your day stays on schedule.
- Reservation: Loaner vehicles usually require advance booking and are first-come, first-served.
- Coverage: Ask if the loaner or shuttle is complimentary or fee-based; percentages vary by dealer.
- Radius: Shuttle service availability commonly covers a defined local radius; confirm pickup/drop-off zones.
- Requirements: Verify driver eligibility, fuel, and insurance rules tied to loaner vehicle policies.
This data-driven clarity increases conversion by reducing appointment friction.
What Is the Status of My Vehicle and Estimated Completion Time?
Where’s your car in the repair process and when will it be ready? You get real-time vehicle tracking and dynamic estimated completion times via the digital service menu. AI-driven repair notifications alert you as the car enters inspection, parts ordering, repair, and quality check stages, so expectations match reality.

That transparency reduces calls and raises satisfaction, converting anxious prospects into loyal customers.
| Stage | Typical Update | What You Receive |

| Repair | Variable | Progress update |
| QC | 30–60 min | Final ETA |
Is My Vehicle Still Covered by Warranty or Any Recalls?
How can you quickly confirm whether your vehicle is still under warranty or subject to recalls? Use your VIN with manufacturer or dealer tools to verify warranty coverage and recall status instantly. Online portals, NHTSA’s searchable database, or manufacturer hotlines return precise results when you supply the VIN. Follow maintenance schedules—missed service can void warranty coverage. For action, do this:
- Enter VIN into manufacturer recall tool and NHTSA database to check recall status.
- Contact your dealership or manufacturer with VIN to confirm remaining warranty coverage (time/mileage limits).
- Review your owner’s manual and warranty documents for coverage terms and required maintenance.
- Schedule prompt service for any open recalls or warranty repairs to maintain safety and preserve coverage.
