auto repair and detailing shops
A driver with a warning light sends a message to a couple of shops and books the one that answers with a sensible next step. You are under a car when that message arrives. This team writes the answer: a starting range, a drop-off time and the right questions, without trying to diagnose anything by email.
An add-on to any Fynl plan: $19.99 a month or $200 a year. Drafts only, so nothing is sent without you.
Your shop team: 8 agents at 5 desks
8 agents work at 5 desks (Leads, Clients, Money, Reviews and Marketing). The Estimate Request Replier checks seven times a day from 7 AM to 7 PM, Monday to Saturday. It asks for the year, make, model and symptoms, says the price depends on inspection, and offers a drop-off time your calendar shows free. When an estimate goes quiet, Estimate Follow-up answers likely questions using only what the estimate says. Months later, Next Service Reminders brings the customer back.

What a week looks like
Each agent works on its own days and hours, in your business's time zone. This is a normal week for an auto shop, and it comes straight from the schedules in the team above.
Monday
The Weekly Owner Digest is ready at 7 AM. At 10 AM the Estimate Follow-up works through quotes with no answer, the Invoice Chaser drafts reminders for unpaid invoices, including fleet and business accounts, and Next Service Reminders finds customers whose last visit was about five to six months ago (sooner for a detail) and drafts a note naming what they had done.

Sunday
Sunday is quiet: nothing runs on its own, though you can press Run on any agent.
How it stays safe
The agents can read your leads, calendar, invoices and inbox, and they can write drafts and tasks. They cannot send an email, publish a post, book an appointment or change a lead or an invoice. Fynl does not send text messages or answer phone calls yet, and neither do the agents.
Drafts only
Every email, post and blog entry is saved as a draft: in your Gmail drafts, your Social Planner, Websites then Blog, or your task list. The agents have no way to send or publish anything.
You approve
You read it, change it and send it yourself. Each run ends with a short plain-English report of what the agent did and where its drafts are waiting.
Your own AI key
The agents run on your own Claude or ChatGPT API key, not a chat subscription. You pay the AI company directly, and you can revoke the key whenever you like.
A monthly limit
You set a monthly spending limit for the agents. It starts at $25. If they reach it they pause until you raise it or the month turns over, and you are told.
In an auto shop, specifically
- It never diagnoses by email. Replies say the price depends on inspection and ask for the year, make, model and symptoms.
- A starting range comes only from your price list or past emails; otherwise the draft says [PRICE].
- Service reminders mention a package or price only if you have sent it before.
- It never threatens and never mentions late fees you have not set. Fleet and business accounts get the same polite sequence as everyone else.
How you start, and what it costs
Pick your team
In Agents Office, choose your kind of business. The whole shop team is set up in one click, each agent at its own desk.
Connect your AI key
Connect Gmail and add your own Claude or ChatGPT API key under Account then AI. Without a key an agent waits at its desk.
Check the drafts
Open your drafts, edit what you like and send. You can change, pause or remove any agent whenever you want.

Questions
About the shop team
Can it quote a repair price?
It gives a starting range from your price list or past emails, never an invented one, and says the final price depends on inspection. It does not diagnose a problem from a message.
Does it work for detailers and mobile mechanics?
Yes. The team is written for repair shops, mobile mechanics, detailers and tire shops. Next Service Reminders allows for shorter intervals for a detail than for a repair, based on what your past emails suggest.
Can it chase fleet accounts?
Yes. The Invoice Chaser covers business and fleet accounts the same way as everyone else: a friendly reminder, a clearer second one, and a task for you to call after 21 days. It also checks in on estimates and fleet quotes that have had no reply for three days.
Where do the drafts show up?
Email replies appear in your Gmail drafts, in the same conversation as the customer's message. Posts appear in your Social Planner, blog posts under Websites, and tasks under Contacts. Each agent also leaves a short report of what it did.
Can the shop team run on my ChatGPT Plus or Claude subscription?
No. A chat subscription is not an API key. You may already use a chat subscription for the occasional email. Claude Pro, Claude Max, ChatGPT Plus and similar plans can't be connected to Fynl. The agents run on your own API key, which you create on the company's developer site (console.anthropic.com for Claude, platform.openai.com for ChatGPT) and pay for per use. If you pay for Claude Max, it includes monthly API credits ($100 a month on Max 5x, $200 on Max 20x) that you can link to your key in Claude's billing settings. The $19.99 a month pays for Agents Office itself; Fynl adds nothing on top of what the AI company charges.
