You can be live in under 24 hours. Setup is done for you: you sign up, share your shop's details, and Ava is answering your calls the next day. There's no software to install and no phone system to rip out.
That's the short version of how fast an AI receptionist can start. Most shops go from signup to a working answer line inside a single business day.
The work on your end is small. You give us a short intake — your company name, services, service area, hours, and how you want jobs booked. From there, the setup is on us:
Then it's a simple call-forwarding switch. Your existing number stays exactly the same — no porting, no new number on your trucks or ads. Forwarding just routes calls to Ava when you want.
Before you forward live customers, you can call your Ava line directly and run it through the scenarios you care about — a broken spring, a trapped car, a price shopper. Hear how she handles each one, ask for tweaks, and only flip forwarding when you're satisfied.
Nothing about your phones has to change until you're ready. If you decide to pause later, you just change the forwarding setting and calls ring you again in seconds.
There's no long onboarding, no "implementation project," and no reason to lose calls while you wait. Sign up today, and in most cases Ava is answering tomorrow.
