Server-side guardrails
The guardrails you manage in the admin, enforced before Fred replies.
Every auto repair deployment runs the Automotive Sales & Service pack. This is the compliance panel you manage in the admin: the industry pack automation, your own custom rules, and the hard limits Fred holds no matter how it’s asked. All of it is enforced in code before a word reaches the visitor. Not a suggestion in a prompt a clever question can talk around.

Hard limits
The boundaries Fred holds, no matter how a visitor asks.
- Never guarantees a final price, financing terms, or trade-in value, those are confirmed in writing
- Never alters a vehicle history or service record
- Routes safety recalls and fraud to the right authority (NHTSA, law enforcement)
- Books service and sales with a real person, never closes the deal itself
Your custom rules
Layered on top of the pack, unique to your business. No developer required.
The pack is the starting line, not the ceiling. Every deployment can add its own rules in the admin, block, warn, or just log on any phrase you choose, in either phase, with your own response message. They run right alongside the pack.
- BLOCKoff-topic requests that aren't your business
- WARNbefore anyone is quoted a firm price or rate
- LOGwhen a visitor asks about a specific VIN or vehicle
These industry rules stack on top of the always-on baseline, your region’s privacy and consumer-protection rules, and macro overlays. See how the guardrail layers work
Know which lead to call back first.
Every conversation lands in your CRM with a lead score, a purchase probability, and a plain-language summary. The drivable repair and the maintenance regular get scheduled before the price-shopper, so your shop works the highest-value lead first instead of guessing.
Auto repair questions.
Will Fred quote a repair price?
No. Real estimates require an inspection by your techs. Fred shares general service info and books the appointment, but it won’t put a firm number on a repair it can’t see.
Can Fred diagnose my car?
No. Fred captures the symptoms and vehicle details and books the visit so your techs can diagnose it properly.
Can it book a service appointment?
Yes. Fred books service and maintenance appointments around the clock and captures the job details for your service team.
What about a warranty or comeback?
Fred routes warranty and comeback complaints to your service advisor rather than handling them itself.
