CUSTOMER FEEDBACK


Like most dealerships, we were overwhelmed with answering Service calls in a timely manner. These calls were mostly appointments. AIVA is a game-changer. It takes the common maintenance calls and magically handles them, automating the appointments that don’t necessarily need human intervention. Our Advisors can better manage their time and let AIVA answer the calls so we can focus on our customers in the dealership.
