AI that works where you already work

BOOKAR AI isn't a separate tool or third-party add-on. It's built directly into the garage management system you use every day — no switching apps, no extra logins, no learning curve.

Inside your workflow

Access AI from the same dashboard you use for work orders, invoices, and scheduling. No context switching.

Your data stays yours

AI only works with your garage's data. Nothing is shared across garages or used to train external models.

Automotive-specific

Purpose-built for garages — understands VINs, DTCs, labour times, parts, and how a workshop actually runs.

Common questions

When will AI features be available?

AI Chat is available now in preview for all BOOKAR GMS users. Estimate Builder and Diagnostic Assistant are in active development — register your interest to be notified when they launch.

Do I need to pay extra for AI?

AI features are being built into the BOOKAR GMS platform. Pricing details will be confirmed closer to launch, but our goal is to include core AI capabilities within existing plans.

Is my data safe?

Absolutely. AI only accesses your own garage's data. Nothing is shared between garages, and no customer or business data is used to train external AI models.

Do I need technical knowledge to use it?

Not at all. The whole point of AI Chat is that you ask questions in plain English — the same way you'd ask a colleague. No manuals, no query languages, no training needed.

Does it work with the online booking system?

Yes. AI features work across the entire BOOKAR platform — including data from online bookings, work orders, invoices, and customer records.

Can AI make mistakes?

AI provides suggestions and summaries based on your data. It's designed to assist, not replace your judgement. You always review and approve before anything goes to a customer.
