What Auto Dealership Owners Are Saying
Real feedback from auto dealerships and automotive businesses using True Elevation AI.
An AI Receptionist Built for Auto Dealerships
Custom-built for your dealership — handling sales inquiries, service scheduling, parts questions, and after-hours leads without your team picking up the phone.
Every Call Answered — Sales, Service, and Parts
Your service advisors are in the drive. Your sales team is with customers on the floor. Your AI answers every inbound call instantly — routing sales inquiries to sales, service calls to service, and capturing after-hours leads automatically.
Service Appointments Booked Directly Into Your Schedule
The AI books oil changes, recalls, diagnostics, and multi-point inspections directly into your service calendar — sends confirmation texts to customers and handles rescheduling automatically without your advisors' involvement.
Test Drive Requests and Vehicle Inquiries Captured 24/7
60% of dealership leads arrive after hours. Your AI captures every test drive request, vehicle inquiry, and trade-in call — collects the customer's name, interest, and contact info, and routes hot leads to your sales team immediately.
Handles the Volume Your BDC Team Can't Keep Up With
Instead of letting your BDC get overwhelmed with routine scheduling calls, your AI handles the repetitive high-volume tasks — freeing your BDC team to focus on high-intent leads and relationship building that actually closes deals.
Follows Up With Leads Your Team Never Got Back To
The average dealership mishandles 43% of leads — either never contacting them or failing to follow up. Your AI re-engages dropped leads, responds to missed calls, and keeps prospects warm until they're ready to come in.
Collects Vehicle Details Before the Service Appointment
For service calls, the AI gathers year, make, model, mileage, and the reason for the visit before the appointment — so your service advisors have everything they need when the car pulls into the drive.
Your Dealership Is Losing $1 Million a Year to Missed Calls.
It's not a people problem. Your team is doing their best. It's a capacity problem — and no amount of hiring fixes it.
Every Advisor Is With a Customer — The Phone Rings Out
During morning rush, lunch, and end-of-day, your service advisors are slammed. Calls go to hold, then to voicemail, then nowhere. Customers waiting on hold hang up after 60 seconds — and they don't call back.
60% of Leads Arrive When You're Closed
Car shoppers browse inventory at night and on weekends. They call when they find a vehicle they want. If your dealership doesn't answer, they call the next one on their list — and that dealership gets the sale.
High BDC Turnover Means Constant Training Costs
Dealership BDC turnover runs as high as 80% annually. Every time someone leaves, you lose their training, their scripts, and their relationships — and the calls keep coming. AI handles the volume regardless of staffing.

AI Receptionist for Auto Dealerships — FAQ
-
Can it route calls to the right department — sales, service, and parts?Yes. The AI is trained on your dealership structure and routes calls appropriately — sales inquiries to your sales team, service calls to the service desk, parts questions to parts. Every caller gets to the right person without going through a confusing phone tree.
-
Can it book service appointments into our scheduling system?Yes. The AI integrates with your service scheduling system, books appointments in real time, collects vehicle details, sends confirmation texts to customers, and handles rescheduling — without your service advisors needing to be on the phone.
-
How does it handle after-hours sales inquiries?The AI captures every after-hours sales inquiry — collecting the customer's name, the vehicle they're interested in, and their contact information — then alerts your sales team first thing in the morning with a qualified lead ready for follow-up.
-
Can it replace our BDC team?The AI is designed to work alongside your BDC team, not replace them. It handles the high-volume, repetitive tasks — routine service scheduling, basic vehicle inquiries, missed call follow-up — so your BDC can focus on high-intent leads and the relationship-building that actually closes deals.
-
How much does it cost?Pricing starts at $1,000 per month based on your call volume. Given that the average dealership loses $1 million annually from missed calls, most dealerships find the system pays for itself many times over. Larger dealerships with high call volumes typically qualify for our Growth or High Volume plans. See full pricing on our pricing page.
