AI receptionist for Phoenix locksmiths
A Phoenix locksmith's call pattern is defined by one variable: temperature. When cabin temperatures cross 140°F — which happens daily May through September — fob internals warp, batteries cook, and cheap aftermarket keys literally melt. Call volume runs 35-50% above winter baseline for 5 months a year. Any shop running on a human answering service gets buried during the peak. The AI doesn't.
