These boundaries exist to protect you and your customers.
- AI won't diagnose vehicle faults — that requires a qualified mechanic
- AI won't quote complex repairs sight-unseen — inspections come first
- AI won't negotiate prices or offer unapproved discounts
- AI won't handle insurance claims or warranty disputes
- AI won't process payments or finalise rental contracts
These boundaries protect your professional expertise and your customers' trust. AI handles the communication — your team handles the cars.
