Answer from your lineup
Share the all-terrain brands you usually carry in that size and your install package price, and say the counter confirms stock.
Tire shops
An AI receptionist for tire shops that books installs through the seasonal rush.
Callers read you a tire size, ask what you have for their truck, and want it on before the weekend. Your assistant collects the size and vehicle, shares the install prices you publish, books installs, rotations, and seasonal changeovers, and leaves stock checks and special orders to your counter.
An AI receptionist for tire shops answers calls and texts while your techs are mounting and balancing. InsertChat’s assistant collects the tire size, vehicle, and how many tires the caller needs, shares your install packages and prices, books installs, flat repairs, rotations, alignments, and seasonal changeovers, and sends stock checks, special orders, and roadside emergencies to your team.
EXAMPLE WORKFLOW · Text message
Turn a sidewall-size text into a Monday install
A customer texts on Saturday evening after your counter has closed.
“I need four tires for my 2019 F-150, size LT275/65R18. Do you have any all-terrains, and can you put them on Monday morning?”
02
Take the order details
Confirm the size and quantity, ask about a brand or budget preference, and ask whether the truck needs an alignment.
03
Book the install
Offer Monday morning slots, book one, and leave the order details on the contact so the counter can check stock first thing.
Your team sets the boundaries
A blowout or flat on a highway gets your instruction to move somewhere safe and call 911 if needed. Stock confirmations, special orders, and warranty claims go to your counter.
Illustrative scenario. Answers depend on your sources; actions depend on your connected tools and permissions.

Can an AI receptionist tell callers which tires are in stock?
It tells them what you usually carry and lets your counter confirm. InsertChat doesn’t connect to tire inventory or point-of-sale systems, so the assistant answers from the brands and sizes you list, collects the size and quantity, and books the install. Your counter checks stock and calls back if a special order is needed.
Can it keep up when the season changes?
Yes. When your counter can’t pick up, the assistant does. It books changeovers into the times you open, explains your storage options, and records waitlist requests when your calendar is full. Set appointment lengths and buffers in your booking settings so bookings match what your bays can handle.
Will it quote a price for a set of tires?
Only prices you publish. Tire prices change with size, brand, and stock, so many shops publish install packages and service fees and price the tires at the counter. If you add price ranges by size or brand, the assistant shares them as written; otherwise it takes the request and flags a high-intent lead for your team.
How much does an AI receptionist for a tire shop cost?
Pro costs $98 a month and includes one phone number, monthly credits, three seats for the counter and bays, and three AI assistants. Calls round up to whole minutes, so short calls about hours still use a minute. Multi-location tire dealers can give each store its own assistant and number, with each extra number at $10 a month.
