The automobile industry faces challenges such as supply chain volatility, shifting to electric and connected vehicles, regulatory compliance, and rising customer expectations for smart mobility.
Dealerships face heavy call volumes as 64% of customers still prefer phone scheduling, resulting in 8.2-minute hold times. These delays frustrate customers and often lead them to choose independent shops impacting revenue.
81% of car shoppers report issues like confusing IVRs, transfers, or missed calls. Each extra minute on hold lowers satisfaction and NPS, hurting loyalty.
Reaching vehicle owners for recalls is difficult only 60% are completed within a year. Mailers and manual calls often miss the mark, raising safety risks, compliance issues, and potential fines.
Gen Z and millennials expect tech-enabled options like app scheduling, instant quotes, and online test drive booking. Without 24/7 self-service, many dealerships fall short creating a gap between expectations and experience, especially after hours.
Voice AI in automobiles enables hands-free vehicle control, driver assistance, in-car infotainment, and proactive maintenance alerts for a safer, smarter driving experience
Customers call the dealership and a voice assistant handles scheduling or changing service appointments. It accesses the dealer’s scheduling system to find available slots. This frees up service staff from answering phones and can operate after hours.
When a new recall is announced, the voice AI can proactively reach out to affected owners with an automated call. Owners can book a recall service through the automated system or be routed to an agent if needed. This significantly improves recall completion rates by making it easy to comply.
After hours, if a prospect calls about a vehicle, the AI can provide information and even schedule a test drive or take a message for a sales rep. It ensures no lead goes cold just because it’s 9 PM.
The voice assistant can answer questions about loan payoff amounts, next payment due, or lease terms. It can also facilitate simple transactions like making a payment over the phone securely, or initiating the lease return process by scheduling an inspection.
For OEMs, a voice system can handle inbound calls for dealer lookup by using the caller’s ZIP code or GPS. Similarly, for basic roadside situations, the assistant can guide the caller or dispatch help by integrating with roadside assistance systems.
