Every missed call is a customer calling someone else.
When your salespeople are with buyers or you're closed, callers don't leave a message - they call the next lot. Inventiq answers as your store, knows your cars, books the test drive, and texts your team the lead.
- Picks up when your floor is busy, the lines are full, or you're closed
- Books the test drive instead of taking a message
- Texts your team the name, number, and the exact vehicle they asked about
Built for car dealerships — where the phone is the front door and nobody's standing at it
The calls you miss are the ones that cost the most.
Your people are with buyers or on another line. The caller doesn't know that, and they don't wait.
Industry research on small-business call handling.
Your best people are the busiest
The salesperson walking the lot with a buyer can't pick up the phone too.
Nobody leaves voicemail
They hang up and call the next lot on the list.
Calling back later is too late
Whoever answers first usually gets the sale.
Built for car dealerships.
An answering service takes a name. Inventiq knows whether the silver Tucson is still on the lot, what the doc fee is, and books them for four o'clock.
Knows what's on your lot
Talks about the real year, trim, mileage, and price from your live inventory - and never invents a car.
Books the test drive
Locks in a day and time on the call, instead of "someone will call you back."
Captures the trade
Year, make, model, mileage, condition, and payoff - so you can ballpark it before they arrive.
Texts the credit app
Sends your finance link while they're still motivated.
Answers fee questions
Doc fee, title and tag, deposit, whether prices are firm - the same answers your desk gives.
Covers your busiest hours
Saturday afternoons with everyone on the floor, plus evenings, Sundays, and holidays.
It follows up so you don't have to.
It texts them a little later about the exact car they called on and tries to get them in. If they reply, it keeps the conversation going and your team gets the update.
Live at your dealership in a day.
Nothing to install, nothing to log into, nothing about how you work has to change.
-
1
We learn your dealership
Your inventory, hours, fees, and policies. It answers from those and makes nothing up.
-
2
We set up your number
It rings your team just like today, and we handle the setup. Your existing line keeps working.
-
3
Your team rings first
Answer and it's a normal call. Miss it, or you're closed, and Inventiq picks up. On the After-Hours plan it only answers after you close.
-
4
You get the lead
A text and email with the name, number, car, trade, financing, and everything they said. Spam and robocalls are filtered out.
Everything else it handles.
Sounds like your store
Your dealership's name and a name you pick for the assistant. No phone tree, no "press one."
Every call, not just bookings
You get the whole conversation even when they don't commit - a ready-made callback list.
Keeps talking over text
Customers can follow up, confirm, or reschedule by text, and it remembers the call.
Appointment reminders
Texts a reminder before every visit and handles reschedules.
Live transfer
Hands a ready-to-buy caller to your team, with the conversation sent ahead.
Only says what's true
If it doesn't know, it says so and gets the question to your team.
Why Inventiq.
Cheaper than a receptionist
A receptionist costs thousands a month and goes home at five. This never goes home.
A fraction of the big platforms
Podium-style platforms that answer your phone run $800 to $1,000 a month, usually on an annual contract. Inventiq is $150 or $300, month to month.
Better than an answering service
They take a message. This answers the caller's questions and books the visit.
Compliant texting included
Opt-in, STOP and HELP, and carrier registration are handled under our business.

Common questions.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. We give you a number that rings your phones - put it on your listings and ads. Your current line keeps working, or you can forward it to the new one.
Can I just have it answer after we close?
Yes. That's the After-Hours plan at $150 a month. You can move up to full coverage anytime.
Will it answer calls I could have taken myself?
No. Your phone rings first. It only steps in if nobody picks up, or after you close.
Does it sound like a robot?
No. It uses a natural voice and holds a real conversation - no menus, no hold music.
What if it can't answer something?
It tells the caller it'll find out, takes their info, and sends your team the question - or transfers them to a person.
Does it know my inventory?
Yes, from your live inventory. It won't send anyone in for a car that's already sold.
What does it cost?
$300 a month for full coverage or $150 a month for after-hours only, plus a one-time $100 setup fee. No per-call fees, no contract.
How long does setup take?
Usually the same business day.
Is the texting compliant?
Yes. Opt-in language, STOP and HELP handling, and consent logging are built in and registered under our business.
Don't take our word for it. Call it.
We built a working sample dealership - real inventory pages, real pricing, its own phone number. Open it, pick a vehicle, call the number on the page, and talk to the assistant exactly the way one of your customers would. Ask about a specific car, ask what the doc fee is, try to trip it up, book yourself a test drive. Run a different kind of business? It's the same assistant underneath - just tell us what you do.
