Small business in the Detroit area

Winters bring furnace, plumbing and snow-removal emergencies.

Phone call · 5:45 PM · bays full

I got rear-ended. Can I bring the car in for an estimate?

Sure. I'm the shop's AI assistant. What's the year, make and model, and is it drivable?

Example call. The business is made up.

Recording calls in the Detroit area

Michigan's eavesdropping statute (MCL 750.539c) says all parties, but the Court of Appeals (Sullivan v. Gray) has allowed participants to record. Until the Supreme Court settles it, a recording notice at the start is the cautious habit. Read more on the state pages for Michigan.

Ava always says she's an AI. If your setup records calls, the script we draft adds a short recording notice to her greeting, and you approve the wording.

FAQ

Questions Detroit owners ask

Is Michigan one-party or two-party for recording?

It's unsettled. The statute says all parties, but an appeals court has allowed participants to record. A recording notice at the start avoids the question.

Can Ava handle insurance-claim questions for collision shops?

She can collect the claim number, insurer and vehicle details you ask for. She doesn't give insurance advice.

Do you work with businesses in Corktown and Warren and Sterling Heights?

Yes. Ava can cover anywhere in the Detroit area that you serve, and setup is remote. Give us your list of neighborhoods or towns, and she'll check each caller against it.
