Voice AI
AI Digital Voice Assistant
for Dealerships
- Answers every inbound service call live, day or night. No hold music. No missed revenue.
- Books appointments, routes by intent, and follows up by text, all on the call.
- Knows the caller, their vehicle, and your dealership before it says hello.
The Phone is Still Where Deals are Won and Lost
If Nobody Picks Up, Nobody Books
Dealerships miss up to 40% of service calls at peak hours. 60% of those callers never get a callback. The result is lost trust, lost appointments, and lost revenue.
This isn’t a staffing problem. It’s a systems problem. Voice AI fixes it by moving the AI from the end of the call to the beginning. Not a better voicemail. Not a faster follow-up. A call that never goes unanswered in the first place.

Voice AI Answers Calls — and All The Edge Cases
Voice AI handles every call that hits your service line. But not every call takes that path. Direct-dial advisor lines, overflow routing, edge cases in the phone system — Voice AI catches those too. It captures and transcribes the message, reads the caller's intent, and follows up automatically by text.

Every Advisor Walks in Knowing Exactly What to Do
The AI Command Center gives your team a prioritized worklist with every unresolved opportunity, wait times, recommended next steps, and advisor assignments.

FAQ
Have Questions About Voice AI?
What is Impel Voice AI?
Voice AI is Impel’s voice solution for dealership service departments. It answers inbound calls in real time through its Digital Voice Assistant, captures and follows up on calls that aren’t answered live through Voicemail AI, and turns every call into a tracked opportunity.
What’s the difference between the Digital Voice Assistant and Voicemail AI?
Both are capabilities of Voice AI. The Digital Voice Assistant answers calls live, holding a real conversation, booking appointments, and routing to the right person. Voicemail AI covers the calls that aren’t answered live, capturing and transcribing the message, reading intent, and following up automatically by text.
Does Voice AI book service appointments?
Yes. The Digital Voice Assistant checks real-time availability in your scheduler and books the appointment on the call, across all nine service categories. If the call drops mid-booking, it continues over text and finishes the job.
How does Voice AI know my customers?
Voice AI connects to your DMS and pulls the caller’s name, vehicle, and recent history the moment the call connects. A 48-hour context window means repeat callers pick up where they left off without repeating themselves.
Can I customize how Voice AI handles different call types?
Yes. Agent Studio gives your team full control. Configure smart voicemail prompts, routing rules, and follow-up questions by topic. Your staff directory is embedded so the AI routes by intent, not by menu. Update your processes once and Voice AI adapts immediately.
Can I use Voice AI without Service AI?
Yes. Voice AI runs standalone for your service drive, or as part of the Service AI platform for full fixed ops coverage with a shared knowledge base, customer view, and worklist.
Is Voice AI secure and compliant?
Yes. Impel is SOC 2 Type II certified with end-to-end encryption. Voice AI includes built-in TCPA compliance for text follow-up, and every call and message is logged and auditable.
What phone systems does Voice AI work with?
Voice AI works with VoIP and cloud-based phone systems including RingCentral, GoTo, Zoom, Dialpad, Vonage, and 8×8. It’s also compatible with call tracking providers like Car Wars, CallRevu, Invoca, and CallRail.
