AI Sales Chatbot for Automotive Businesses — SL-CLAW

Automotive leads die in minutes, not days. A buyer who messages "Is the 2021 Silverado still on the lot?" is texting other dealerships at the same time — the first real answer usually wins the test drive. Parts and tire buyers are even faster: they ask a fitment question (year, make, model, engine) and buy from whoever confirms first. Service customers price-shop a brake job across shops at 9 p.m., long after your advisors went home. And commercial or leasing inquiries need a dozen qualifying questions before a salesperson should even pick up the phone. SL-CLAW's AI seller sits in your WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, and website widget and works those exact moments: it answers on the specific vehicle or SKU, asks fitment and trade-in questions the way a good counter person would, runs SPIN qualification, sends an invoice right in the chat, and drops every qualified lead into HubSpot or Pipedrive with full context. It costs $300 one-time plus about $0.50 per dialog — no monthly subscription.

What the AI sales agent does in Automotive

Answers "is it still available?" on the exact listing at any hour — trim, mileage, price — then moves straight into trade-in and financing questions with SPIN before the lead goes cold.
Handles fitment like a counter person: asks year, make, model, and engine, matches against the catalog data loaded during implementation, and quotes the right SKU for parts, tires, and wheels instead of guessing.
Qualifies service inquiries by symptoms, vehicle, and urgency, gives your price range, and agrees on a drop-off window right in the chat — then hands the confirmed details to your service advisor.
Sells where car buyers actually write: Instagram DMs under inventory posts, WhatsApp, Telegram, and your website widget — one seller across every channel, with voice replies when the customer sends voice messages.
Sends an invoice inside the conversation — a deposit to hold a vehicle, a prepaid parts order, or a tire set with mounting — so the deal closes in the same thread it started in.
Pushes every qualified lead into HubSpot or Pipedrive out of the box, with the details it gathered in the chat; your DMS or inventory system can be connected via API or webhook as part of implementation.
Takes commercial-vehicle and leasing inquiries through the long qualification: fleet size, usage, term, and budget — and hands your sales manager a structured brief instead of a bare phone number.

FAQ

Can it answer questions about my actual inventory and prices?

Yes. During implementation ($1,000) we load your inventory, parts catalog, and service price list, and connect your systems via API or webhook where they support it. The bot answers from your data only. You also own the code, so it can be extended for your setup at any time.

How does it avoid quoting the wrong part or tire size?

It works the way a good parts counter person does: it asks year, make, model, engine, and trim before quoting, and matches the answer against the catalog data you provide. If the data doesn't give a confident match, it collects the VIN and passes the request to your staff instead of guessing.

Can it schedule service appointments or test drives?

It agrees on a time directly in the chat — asks the customer's preferred window, confirms it against the rules you set, and hands the confirmed details to your service advisor or salesperson. If you use a scheduling system, connecting it via API or webhook can be scoped into the implementation.

What does it cost for a dealership or shop?

The bot is $300 one-time, implementation is $1,000, and a turnkey project starts at $2,200. AI usage runs about $0.50 per dialog in practice (from $0.10 to $1), billed for actual use — there is no monthly subscription.

How long until it's live, and what if it doesn't work out?

Deployment takes about an hour once the bot is configured for your business. You get a 14-day money-back guarantee, and since the code is yours, you're not locked into anyone's platform.

Does it work with the CRM my store already uses?

HubSpot and Pipedrive are supported out of the box — leads arrive with the details the bot gathered in the conversation. Other systems, including a DMS, can be connected via webhook or API as part of the implementation work.
