Questions from auto repair shops
Setup is self-serve and takes about ten minutes. From $99/month; extra minutes $0.35, capped; 7-day refund. See pricing.
Can it check repair status?
It cannot see your shop software, so status questions become a message for your service writer.
Does it handle tire and oil change bookings?
Yes. Give each service a length and it books the right slot.
Can it take a car's details?
It asks year, make, model and the symptoms (noise, warning light, leak), and books a drop-off or diagnostic slot.
Will it quote repair prices?
Only fixed prices you publish, like an oil change or diagnostic fee. Everything else is "the shop will quote after a look".
Can calls be recorded in Illinois?
Illinois is an all-party (two-party) consent state for recording phone calls: everyone on the call has to know it is being recorded. Hazel says "this call may be recorded" in the first sentence of every call, before recording starts, and you can turn recording off in Settings.
Will it book in Chicago time?
Yes. Your line runs on Central Time, so every slot Hazel offers and every summary you get is in local Chicago time. It answers around the clock, including the 110.5 hours a week a typical auto repair shop is closed.
