AutoLeap wants a demo call and a contract. Shopmonkey wants $199/mo + per-bay seats. You'll have a working site, service-booking flow, parts list, and service-due reminders set up before the first car rolls into the bay.
Vehicle, service type, slot — picked on your site, pre-filled in WhatsApp. You confirm or suggest the next opening. Bay capacity tracked automatically.
Stock dips below threshold → WhatsApp ping with SKU, count, and last supplier price. One-tap reorder on Automotive OS.
Mileage and interval logged on every job. At the right month, owner gets a WhatsApp nudge with a booking link. Regulars come back on their own.
