Common questions
What does an AI voice agent do for a New Zealand car dealership?
It answers every inbound call 24/7. It qualifies stock enquiries against current inventory, books test drives with the right salesperson, schedules service appointments, answers general finance questions, captures after-hours leads from Trade Me Motors and Auto Trader NZ, and warm-transfers anything complex to your sales or service manager.
Will it know our actual stock?
Yes. It connects to Stratim, AutoLine, Salesforce Automotive, MTA member systems, your Trade Me Motors feed and most NZ DMS platforms. The agent quotes only vehicles you actually have on the lot, with current price, KMs, transmission and WoF status. No phantom stock.
Can it handle finance pre-qualification under FMCA?
General questions, yes: what pre-approval is, what documents you need and who your finance partners are. For a buyer's actual rate or approval status, the agent looks it up in your finance system or transfers to your business manager. It never gives regulated personal advice on credit, which keeps you on the right side of the FMCA and the CCCFA.
Is it NZ Privacy Act 2020 compliant?
Yes. Information Privacy Principle 3 disclosure on every call. Suppression on request. Audio is encrypted in transit and at rest. You control how long recordings are kept, with automatic deletion, and recordings can be deleted at any time.
Will it sound like a Kiwi?
Yes. Natural NZ voices are available for both genders, set per agent. The accent matters: an American voice on an Auckland dealership line costs trust before the test drive is booked. You can hear the options on the voices page.
Can it run outbound for service recalls and aged-stock follow-up?
Yes. It can call opted-in customers for service reminders, aged-stock follow-up on past enquiries, lapsed warranties and event invitations. We follow the Marketing Association telemarketing standards and the Fair Trading Act, and the agent says it is AI on every outbound call.
What does it cost a typical NZ dealership?
Start with $500 of call credit plus $130 a month for the platform (NZD, ex GST). Talk time is 95c a minute and drops to 77c when you load more credit. You only pay for talk time, credit never expires, and every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
How quickly can it go live?
Your receptionist can be answering calls within 24 hours. Connecting your DMS or setting up routing for several rooftops can take a little longer, and we agree the timeline with you first. We do not run multi-month projects.
