Callers always know they're talking to AI and can reach a human, text, or book online.

But after-hours calls roll to voicemail, and 32.3% of non-connected dealership calls end with a customer leaving a message that may not be returned until the next morning — long after they've already called the next dealer across town.

For a commercial truck dealership, those calls are downtime-urgent fleet customers, parts orders, and warranty inquiries — high-ticket, high-intent business.
