DeskRing is an AI front desk for Ottawa dealerships and appointment businesses. It answers the calls you miss, books real appointments, and puts every lead in your hands. You keep your number. We set it up. It starts with the calls you are already losing.
This is a live DeskRing front desk answering for a car dealership right now. Ask it about a car, book a test drive, try it in French. It answers in about two rings, any hour.
Industry studies of dealerships and service businesses keep finding the same leak. Run your own numbers below — then compare with what DeskRing costs.

of leads arrive after business hours, when nobody is there to pick up.
of callers who hit voicemail never call back. They call the next name on the list.
Move the sliders. These are your numbers, not ours.
Estimate only: missed calls × booking rate × average value × 4.33 weeks. Your free missed-call audit (below) replaces these guesses with your real call logs.
No new phone system. No hardware. No contract with your phone company to fight.
Your inventory or services, hours, prices, and rules get trained into your front desk. You approve every answer before it goes live.
When your line is busy, unanswered, or it's after hours, DeskRing picks up in about two rings — in the caller's language.
Appointments land on your calendar. Every lead, with name, number, and what they wanted, lands in your client view and by text.
Start with the base. Add only what earns its keep. Every price is on this page — including the setup fee our competitors hide.
Before you sign anything, we run a free missed-call audit on your own call logs, so you see your real lost calls — not a sales pitch — before you decide.

Including what DeskRing does not do. A front desk you can trust starts with a seller who tells you the limits.
If a caller asks directly, it says so honestly. It never pretends to be a specific human employee. Most callers just notice their call was answered fast and their appointment got booked.
Yes — full service in French and English, switching to the caller's language. We built DeskRing in Ottawa, where a French caller who gets English-only service is a customer lost to Gatineau. None of the big US platforms offer French at all.
It does not negotiate final prices, promise financing approval, or judge a trade-in it hasn't seen — the same rules a good human receptionist follows. Anything outside its training goes to you as a callback request, with the details captured.
No. Your number stays yours. Calls forward to DeskRing only when your line is busy, unanswered, or after hours — your team still answers first whenever they can.
The agreement runs 12 months with your rate locked. The setup fee is spread across the term; if you leave early, you owe only the setup balance remaining — no other penalty. Your customer data exports with you and your number ports out once that balance is settled. In the first 30 days, the money-back promise applies and even the setup balance is waived.
A person, in Ottawa, in person if you're local. We train it on your business, test it with you on the line, and tune it monthly. When something needs a human decision, you reach the human who built yours.
We'll count the calls your business actually missed last month and what they were worth. No cost, no obligation — the numbers decide.
