AI Assistant
Your AI team member that never clocks off
Workshop1's AI reads every enquiry, finds customers, creates bookings, and handles admin — so your team can focus on cars, not paperwork. Human-in-the-loop means nothing happens without your approval.
Sound familiar?
Australian workshops lose thousands every month to manual admin, missed calls, and slow responses. Here's what it actually costs you.
Buried in admin, not cars
Over a third of your week goes to paperwork, data entry, and scheduling — tasks that don't turn a wrench or earn revenue.
Unanswered calls, lost customers
Nearly a quarter of calls go unanswered during business hours. 85% of those callers never try again — they just go elsewhere.
Revenue walking out the door
Missed calls and slow responses cost the average shop over eleven thousand dollars every month in lost bookings.
Service advisors at capacity
Each advisor juggles 10-15 customers daily — every one needing data lookup, scheduling, and follow-up. Something always slips.
Repetitive tasks on repeat
Service advisors spend 8-10 hours a week on tasks AI can handle — that's a full workday lost to copy-pasting and calendar Tetris.
Speed wins the job
First to respond wins 35-50% of deals. Every extra hour of delay tanks your conversion rate by up to 80%.
The impact of AI that actually works
When your AI handles the admin, everything else follows.
Per service advisor. That's a full extra workday to focus on customers, upsells, and the work that actually grows your business.
Only complex or unusual cases need human attention. Routine enquiries are processed, matched, and proposed — without intervention.
Every email, web form, and message gets a response in under a minute — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends.
Zero missed enquiries, faster bookings, and automated follow-up add up to six figures back in your pocket annually.
How it works
From incoming enquiry to confirmed booking — four steps, one approval.
Read
AI reads every incoming enquiry — email, web form, or message. It understands what the customer needs, what vehicle they have, and when they want to come in.
Find
AI searches your customer database. Found? Profile and vehicle history pulled up instantly. New customer? Record created automatically from the enquiry details.
Propose
AI creates a booking proposal: right time slot, right technician, right bay. Everything pre-filled with customer details, vehicle info, and job notes.
Approve
Service advisor reviews the proposal. One tap to approve, adjust, or decline. The booking goes live, the customer gets a confirmation SMS.
AI that works with you, not instead of you
Everything you need to handle enquiries at scale — without losing the human touch.
Multi-channel enquiry processing
Email, web forms, online bookings — AI reads them all. No more copy-pasting from your inbox to your workshop software.
Intelligent customer matching
AI finds existing customers by name, phone, email, rego, or VIN. Creates new records automatically. No duplicate entries, ever.
Smart booking proposals
AI considers bay capacity, technician skills, job complexity, and existing schedule to propose the optimal slot.
Human-in-the-loop
AI proposes, you approve. No autopilot, no surprises. Every booking gets your sign-off before it goes live.
Zero missed enquiries
Every enquiry gets a response in under a minute, 24/7. No more lost leads from unanswered emails over the weekend.
Works for everyone
Owners get fewer interruptions. Receptionists handle 3x the volume. Mechanics get clear job cards from day one.
Built for every role in the workshop
Whether you're running the business, managing the front desk, or under the hood — AI has your back.
Owner
“Stop being the bottleneck. AI handles the routine so you can focus on growing the business, not processing emails.”

“Go from overwhelmed to in control. AI does the data entry and scheduling — you handle the relationships.”
Mechanic
“Clear job cards, on time, every time. No more half-written notes or missing vehicle details.”
