AI phone assistant for car detailing: answers while the polisher runs, quotes the price per vehicle size and books the slot. German number and 200 minutes included.

Answers while the polisher is running, asks about the car and the job, and books straight into your calendar.

An AI phone assistant for car detailing answers calls while the polisher is running: it asks about the car and the job, quotes the price per size, checks free slots live and books straight into your calendar. At terminio.ai it is part of Pro Voice, with a German phone number and 200 call minutes, no setup fee, set up in about ten minutes.

## Answers. Asks. Books.

- Booked by phone, booked online. One bay. The assistant books on the phone into the same calendar as your booking page. Whoever would rather tap, just as the sale listing goes live, picks an interior clean, a polish or ceramic, the size and a day there. No account, no call back.
- A deposit on ceramic, even when agreed on the phone. Per service you decide: deposit, full price or pay at the desk. A deposit on the eight-hour ceramic coating, nothing on the interior clean, settled through Stripe. Whoever paid a deposit is at the door with the keys at eight, booked online or by phone.
- Answers while the polisher is running. Around the clock, in German. The AI phone assistant asks for small car, estate or SUV, quotes the price for that size, checks free days and books. Pet hair, smoke smell, deep scratches? It hands over to you or notes a call back.
- Confirms on WhatsApp what was agreed on the phone. As soon as the assistant has booked, the customer gets a WhatsApp with the job, date and time. The evening before, the reminder follows with the key hand-over time and your note to empty the car out. From your number, in your words.
- It only books what fits into the bay. The assistant sees bays, who's in and the duration of every job. An eight-hour ceramic coating it only offers on days when the bay is free; an interior clean fits into two hours. Double bookings don't happen, not even in spring.
- A summary after every call. On your watch too. Outcome, duration, call-back request: after every call the summary sits in the app, with a push to your phone or your smartwatch. You read at the polisher what was discussed, without taking the gloves off. Web, iPhone, Android.

## Common questions

**I'm at the paintwork with gloves on. When does the assistant take over?** Whenever you want: always, only when nobody picks up, or outside opening hours. So it rings at the front desk first, and only when everyone is at the polisher does the AI phone assistant answer. Your phone number stays as it is, you only set up call forwarding.

**Can it quote a price for an SUV without having seen the car?** Yes, if you want it to. You set every service up per vehicle size, say interior clean for a small car, an estate and an SUV, each with its own price. The assistant asks for the size and quotes the matching price. Or you set it to say the price depends on the work involved.

**What does it do about pet hair, smoke smell or deep scratches?** It only books what it knows: your services. Whether pet hair and smoke smell come out completely is your call at the car, so it hands the conversation over to you. If you can't be reached, it takes name, number and issue. That lands in the app under your call backs, and customers send you photos on WhatsApp.

**How does it know whether a whole day is still free for ceramic on Thursday?** It looks into your real calendar while the call is still going. Bays, who's in and the duration of every job are stored, and the free days follow from them. An eight-hour ceramic coating it only offers where a day is free, and it writes the booking straight in. Double bookings don't happen.

**Does it sound like a call centre or like my studio?** Like your studio. The AI phone assistant answers with your business's name and the greeting you write in the app under the Phone tab. You choose the voice yourself. It speaks German with a natural voice and understands common accents; with a heavy dialect it politely asks the caller to repeat.

**What does the AI phone assistant cost for car detailing?** The AI phone assistant for car detailing is part of Pro Voice, with a German phone number and 200 call minutes a month. Every further minute costs €0.25, and you see the usage in the app. No setup fee, cancel monthly. The booking page and calendar stay free on the Free plan, and you're reachable in ten minutes.

**Is there a free AI phone assistant?** A permanently free one hardly exists, because the phone number and the call minutes cost the provider money. What does exist is a free start: at terminio.ai you begin on Free without payment details, with a booking page, a calendar and the app. The AI phone assistant for car detailing comes with Pro Voice, with no setup fee and no minimum term, cancel monthly.

**What can an AI phone assistant do?** It answers while the polisher is running, greets callers with the name of your business and deals with the request: it asks about the car and the job, quotes the price per size, checks free slots in your calendar, books, moves and cancels. It knows how long an interior clean takes and only offers gaps that fit. Anything it shouldn't handle it forwards to you or takes down as a callback with name, number and reason. After every call there is a summary in the app.
