Managing repair appointments, tracking vehicle service status, and responding to constant customer inquiries can quickly overwhelm automotive service centers. Manual scheduling often leads to missed appointments, delayed responses, and frustrated customers.

With Scheduling Buttons, Human Hand Off, and Lead Logging, Dante AI ensures customers stay informed every step of the way while staff can focus on actual repairs instead of managing inboxes.
