Your expert advocate, 24/7. She knows your shop — your services, your menu prices, how you talk about the work — she books your appointments, and she’s your shop’s voice on the phone.
Your advisors are on the phone all day: customers, parts suppliers, adjusters. The next call rolls to voicemail, and most callers never leave a message. They just call the next shop. And when that caller is one of your regulars, the silence costs you more than one job. Ava is the front desk that picks up anyway, built around your shop: your services, your prices, your voice.
People decide in thirty seconds whether your shop sounds like one they can trust. An answer in your voice, on your script, turns callers into booked jobs. A voicemail box quietly sends them to the next shop.
Ava learns your shop cold: your services, your menu prices, how you talk about the work. That’s what makes her an advocate instead of a recording. She knows your business because her playbook is built from it, from scratch.
Your shop changes — new services, new prices, new hours — and Ava changes with it. We tend the playbook so she never goes stale. That’s what the monthly covers: not a phone bill, a rep who stays sharp.
Ava is one flat monthly rate. No per-minute meter running. And she stays sharp because we tend her playbook.
Most shop owners end up with phone tools that were built for someone else. You spend more time fighting the software than running your shop. Here's what we refuse to ship:
The shop three doors down bought the same answering app. Callers can hear the sameness even when they can't name it. Your shop has a personality. Your front desk should too.
Per-minute charges mean the better she works, the more you pay. Busy month, bigger bill. Ava is one flat rate, the same in your best month as your slowest.
A brake job doesn't book like a dentist appointment, and a diesel shop doesn't run like a dealership. Software built for everyone fits no one. We build around how your shop actually works.
Brass Tacks exists for one reason: tech that works for you, not the other way around.
Start with the auto shop. Feller's Automotive runs on the same kind of playbook Ava would study at your shop: posted prices, real booking, no upsell.
Ava goes on your shop's line and answers like she works there, because her playbook is your shop. One flat monthly rate, month to month, no contract. Here is what is in it.
Her playbook is built from scratch around your services, your prices, and how you talk about the work.

After the 48-hour setup, she goes live on your number. We review her calls and keep her sharp every month.
