What leading body shops are doing now

Most auto body shops still rely on advisors phoning, texting, and chasing parts updates by hand. A smaller group has put it on autopilot — the DentDeskAI Repair-Status Updater watches the shop management system and texts customers the moment anything changes.

The Agentic AI Body Shop Report shows what those shops are doing differently, where cycle-time savings compound, and why falling behind on automated updates is becoming a CSI liability.

Inside the report:

  • How auto-texted progress cuts inbound status calls by up to 70%
  • Benchmarks early adopters use to justify scaling AI across locations
  • Why most DMS notification pilots stall — and how shops move past them
  • How estimators, parts, and CSRs converge around a single AI updater
