Fullbay Launches AI Receptionist Claudia for Repair Shops

Phoenix—Fullbay, a turn-key platform that improves the operational efficiency of heavy-duty repair shops, has introduced its latest innovation in heavy-duty repair shop AI tools: “Claudia,” the 24/7 AI receptionist that answers shop phone calls.

Upon calling the shop, Claudia interacts naturally with callers, answers their questions, and captures important details so that shops never lose a lead or miss out on jobs when no one is available to answer.

Designed for heavy-duty repair shop owners who need an extra hand, the AI receptionist ensures that all customer requests are received and addressed. In an early pilot with Claudia, one shop reported that it generated more than $1,200 a week in repair orders.

The feature is configured with each shop’s real information including hours, services, pricing, and FAQs, and it compiles a full summary to send by email to the shop so follow-up can be done accurately and promptly.

• No more lost business after hours or during the rush. When the shop is slammed, closed for the night, or short-staffed at the front desk, Claudia picks up. Customers get a real answer instead of a voicemail they’ll never leave.
• Every caller gets shop-specific answers on the first try. Because the AI receptionist is configured with each shop’s own information, customers aren’t stuck repeating themselves or getting generic responses. That means fewer callbacks and higher customer satisfaction.
• No lead falls through the cracks while keeping costs down. Every call gets captured and every caller’s information gets recorded, so shops can grow their intake without growing payroll.
• Follow-ups happen because staff know exactly what to chase. A complete summary lands in the shop’s inbox after every call, turning what used to be a guessing game into a clear list of who to call back and why.

“With the constant hustle of working under vehicles and managing day-to-day operations, answering a phone call isn’t always physically possible. Yet, we all know that every missed call is a potential customer lost,” said Trent Broberg, CEO of Fullbay. “That’s where Claudia comes in. For shops where stepping away from the wrench isn’t an option, it intuitively engages with customers and gathers essential information. This reflects Fullbay’s AI-native vision, using intelligent technology not as an add-on, but as an integrated part of the commercial repair workflow.”

The AI receptionist is directly embedded within the Fullbay app, eliminating the need for yet another disconnected tool. Claudia can handle multiple languages, automatically recognizing and continuing the conversation in the caller’s language. It is compatible with both cell phones and full VoIP systems, making it ideal for shops of any size. The AI receptionist is available to shops with a Fullbay account for an additional, nominal monthly subscription.

Fullbay continues to advance its AI capabilities, enhancing its suite of intelligent tools to better support shop owners and the evolving needs of the heavy-duty industry. These efforts reinforce the company’s position as a leading software and technology partner for repair shops as the industry moves into a new era of innovation and growth.
