Reviews of Car Dealerships
Lukas Novak
‍Service Consultant

"In the mornings between 8 and 11 o'clock, this place used to be packed. Fonio now answers 90% of calls. "Yeah, if a customer speaks with a really strong Bavarian accent, it can be a bit of a hassle, but at least I can finally finish writing up an order without the phone ringing every two minutes."

Marek Kowalski
‍Workshop Manager

"40% of our emergencies used to come in after 6 p.m. – and no one ever called us back." Fonio will clear this up right away. "Entering our price list was also really quick."

Alba Ferrero
‍Sales Manager

"I don't use my cell phone during test drives." Fonio collects the data and sends me a clear summary via email. "If you listen closely, you can still tell it's an AI, but customers don't care."

"Even integrating it into our 20-year-old DMS system was possible thanks to fonio."
