1 in 10 Australian small businesses have started with AI. The other 9 are your competition.

What a business like this can have running on its own

Six jobs the owner usually does by hand, and what a system built for that business does instead.

Being found: services, brands and prices written so Google and AI search show the workshop for the right jobs.
Service reminders: a text goes out when each car's service is due, worked out from its last visit.
Approvals: quote approvals by text, with a photo of the part.
Logistics: loan car and pick-up times confirmed the day before.
Reviews: a review request the evening the car goes home.
The numbers: cars through, average invoice and parts margin, drawn from the workshop system onto one private page.

Each one is a working system, built for that business and owned outright by it. How Coastworks AI builds AI automations for small businesses.
