AI Service Advisor

Describe what your vehicle is doing. Our AI asks the right questions, identifies possible causes, and tells you the next best step. No guesswork. No upselling.

Ricky Ratchets AI Service Advisor

Common symptoms — tap to start:

Why This Is Different

Most shops make you call and guess. We help you understand before you arrive.

No More Guessing

Describe symptoms once. Our AI asks the same questions a technician would, so you arrive with clarity — not confusion.

Better Appointment Notes

Every AI intake creates a detailed work order summary. Your technician knows what to look for before the car is on the lift.

Faster Service Intake

The AI handles the initial assessment in 60 seconds. No phone tag. No repeating yourself to three different people.

Clearer Expectations

See possible causes, estimated time, and recommended service type before you commit. No surprise bills.

Easier Repeat Visits

Your vehicle history, past AI intakes, invoices, and maintenance schedule are saved in My Garage. One click to rebook.

AI-Assisted, Not AI-Replaced

Our AI helps you describe the problem clearly. A real certified technician still does the diagnosis and repair.

What Our Customers Say

“Used the AI advisor before booking — it knew exactly what was wrong with my truck. By the time I got to the shop, Rick already had the parts ordered. Unreal.”

Dave M.London, ON • 2018 Ford F-150

“I love the My Garage portal. I can see every invoice, my service history, and the AI even reminds me when my oil is due. Beats digging through the glove box.”

Sarah K.London, ON • 2018 Honda Civic

“Heard their ad during a Knights game and used the AI tool on a whim. Clicking noise turned out to be a CV joint. Booked the appointment right from the chat. Amazing.”

“This system changed how we do business. My phone rings less, my bay doors stay open more, and customers love being able to describe their problem to the AI and book online at 2 AM. It’s the best investment I’ve made since buying my first lift.”
