Auto Detailing

Two hands on the buffer.
Zero missed calls.

Tetra is an AI answering service for auto detailing shops. Aaron answers your existing line 24/7 — quoting realistic ranges by vehicle and condition, booking drop-offs, and texting you every lead — from $199 a month. Because callers don’t wait for you to put the polisher down; they book with the first shop that answers.

Detailing is won on the phone. The caller with the dog-hair disaster is calling three shops in a row, and they book with the first one that answers, quotes a realistic range, and takes their info. Second place gets nothing.

But you physically can’t answer — you’re mid-polish, gloves on, compressor running. Voicemail after voicemail piles up, and returning calls at 7 PM means quoting people who booked elsewhere at 2.

Aaron answers instantly, every time. He asks what they drive, what condition it’s in, and what they want done — then quotes your ranges, books the drop-off around your bays, and logs it whether you schedule with Urable, Square, Booksy, or a whiteboard. This page’s case study isn’t hypothetical: our first deployment is a detail shop.

What Aaron handles on your line

Configured to your business during onboarding — your services, your prices, your rules.

Quotes by vehicle & condition

Sedan vs. crew cab, maintained vs. never-detailed — Aaron quotes your real ranges.

Drop-off scheduling

Books around your bays and your pace, not on top of them.

Service explanations

Interior vs. full detail, ceramic coating, paint correction — explained plainly.

Upsell-ready capture

Condition notes (pet hair, stains, oxidation) captured so you can quote the add-on.

After-hours booking

The 9 PM “can you fit me in Saturday?” call gets booked, not lost.

The handoff

Vehicle, condition, service, timing, number — texted to you before they hang up.

Zero missed calls since go‑live.

Our first live deployment is a detail shop. For years its phone rang in a coverall pocket — answered when possible, returned at closing, sometimes just gone. Now Aaron answers every call: greets by the shop’s name, quotes realistic ranges by vehicle and condition, captures the drop-off window, and texts the owner a summary before the caller hangs up.

Since go-live, the shop hasn’t missed a single call — not during jobs, not at lunch, not at 11 PM. The owner reads the day’s call log the way you’d read a booking sheet, because now that’s what it is.

We’re onboarding our first cohort of clients — the next case study could be your shop.

Three missed calls a day is a lost hire’s salary.

Detail jobs run $200–$500. Slide to the calls that ring out while you’re under a headliner, and look at what a month of silence costs.

Auto Detailing questions, straight answers.

Can it really quote without seeing the car?

It quotes the way you do on the phone: by vehicle type, condition, and service — in ranges you set. “Full detail on a never-cleaned crew cab runs $X–$Y, final price at drop-off.” You keep control of the final number; Aaron keeps the caller from hanging up unquoted.

I’m a one-person shop. Isn’t this overkill?

One-person shops are exactly who loses the most calls — there is literally no one else to answer. Aaron is the difference between “missed call, returned at 7 PM” and “booked at 1:15 while you kept polishing.” Our first live deployment is a solo-run detail shop.

What if a caller wants to talk to me personally?

Aaron takes a detailed message and flags it, or — if you want — transfers callers to your cell for the conversations you care about. You set those rules during onboarding, and you can change them anytime.
