Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Auto Repair Shop Owners Ask First

Everything you need to know about compliance, software integration, voice latency, and rollout.

RhinoAgents AI Voice Agent for Auto Repair Shops answers customer calls 24/7 — diagnosing vehicle symptoms, capturing year/make/model details, scheduling mechanic bay drop-offs into Tekmetric or Shopmonkey, answering "Is my car ready?" status lookups, and securing repair estimate approvals.

Yes. When a driver calls asking for an update, the AI identifies their vehicle by phone number or license plate, queries your shop management software (Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, Mitchell 1), and gives a real-time status update in 10 seconds flat.

When an inspection is complete, RhinoAgents can call the customer, explain the recommended repairs, parts costs, and safety priority, and record their verbal authorization, updating the work order status in your shop software instantly.

Yes — RhinoAgents connects via native APIs with Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, and Mitchell 1. It checks technician bay availability, quotes diagnostic fees, and writes confirmed drop-off appointments directly to your shop schedule.

When a customer calls after hours with a disabled car, the AI captures their breakdown location, offers towing partner details, directs them to your secure key drop box, and texts them a digital intake envelope to sign on their phone.

This voice AI agent is built for automotive service facilities across 3 primary tiers: (1) Independent Garages (2–4 Bays) wanting 24/7 call capture without interrupting wrench time; (2) Busy Service Centers (5–12 Bays) needing Tekmetric bay scheduling, status lookups, and estimate approvals; and (3) Regional Multi-Shop Chains (6+ Locations) requiring multi-branch phone routing and unified customer vehicle histories.

RhinoAgents operates on a transparent credit-based model with zero per-seat human license fees. You start with 1,000 free execution credits on our 14-day Free Trial ($0). Monthly plans start at $20/month (Starter: 10,000 credits/mo), $49/month (Pro: 50,000 credits/mo), and $99/month (Business: 150,000 credits/mo). Credits are consumed based on call duration and workflow actions (such as streaming speech recognition, real-time reasoning, voice synthesis, and CRM/calendar updates). Unlimited human team members and managers can collaborate on the platform without paying per-seat penalty fees.

RhinoAgents pays for 100% of the underlying AI model costs (LLM tokens for GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini, etc.), ultra-low latency voice synthesis engines, streaming speech-to-text, and cloud computing infrastructure—all covered directly by your monthly credit allotment. You never need to purchase or supply your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or voice model API keys. The customer is only responsible for their own external third-party software subscriptions and telephony accounts (such as your existing CRM, scheduling software, Twilio phone numbers, SIP trunk provider, or mobile carrier forwarding fees). RhinoAgents connects seamlessly via native 1-click integrations with zero software markup.

Our guided onboarding portal makes self-serve configuration fast and simple. You configure four core areas:

  • Voice & Persona: Select a natural studio voice, set speaking cadence and greeting tone, or clone your existing office voice.
  • Knowledge Base: Upload your PDF service menus, practice policies, business hours, directions, and pricing guidelines.
  • Tools & Software Connectors: Enable certified two-way integrations with your scheduling software, CRM, or custom webhooks.
  • Telephony & Escalation: Set up simple call forwarding from your existing phone lines, and define staff warm transfer rules.

Most organizations complete self-serve configuration in under 30 minutes with zero code required.

Yes, absolutely! While RhinoAgents is 100% self-serve with zero mandatory setup fees, we offer an optional White-Glove Done-For-You Setup Service for businesses that prefer a turnkey rollout.

Our solutions engineers will handle end-to-end implementation: custom prompt engineering, voice cloning, uploading service menus, configuring multi-department call routing, certified API connections, and running live end-to-end test calls with your team.

Setup Charges: White-glove setup carries an extra, one-time onboarding charge based on your organization size, number of departments, and custom telephony/software requirements. You can request white-glove setup during trial registration or book an architecture call with our team for a custom quote.

For self-serve setup, you can be live and taking inbound customer calls in 15 to 30 minutes. For white-glove managed onboarding, implementation typically takes 2 to 5 business days depending on software credential provisioning and custom workflow testing.

Once live, your team has full access to the Real-Time Live Command Center with instant call analytics, audio playback, sentiment tracking, and transcript inspectors. Continuous AI model updates, low-latency engine improvements, and direct technical support are included with your monthly plan with no maintenance fees.
