NEON by Vehicle AI · Use Case · Service Recovery Queue

Turn declined ROs back into revenue.Ranked by what's actually worth chasing.

Vehicle AI ranks every declined service from the last 90 days by recovery value, safety relevance, and likelihood to convert — so your service team chases the right opportunities, not all of them.

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Declined work sits in the order it was declined.

    Oldest first, the way your DMS lists it. Nothing says which of these is worth a phone call.

  2. Step 2 of 3

    NEON weighs what each job is worth.

    Recovery value, safety relevance, and how likely the customer is to come back, with the reason on every row.

  3. Step 3 of 3

    The list becomes a call list.

    The queue re-ranks by recovery value, and the jobs most worth chasing land at the top for your advisors.

The problem

Your fixed-ops director knows declined services should be followed up. Nobody has the time to triage 200 of them.

Every week your service advisors recommend work the customer declines. Brake pads, transmission service, cabin air filter, alignment. Some of those declines were budget, some were timing, some were the customer waving off without thinking. All of them are revenue that walked out the door.

Most stores have a vague intention to follow up on declined ROs. Almost nobody actually does it consistently because the queue is too long and there's no triage. Vehicle AI ranks the declined work by recovery value and conversion likelihood, so your service BDC spends time on the 20 that will close — not the 200 that won't.

How NEON solves it

From signalto action.

  1. Step 1 · Step 1

    Every declined service from the last 90 days gets scored.

    Recovery value (parts + labor). Safety relevance (brakes and tires score higher). Customer recency (recent visits convert better). Manufacturer-recommended status. Bundle opportunity at next visit. Score combines into a ranked queue.

  2. Step 2 · Step 2

    Top of the queue surfaces every Monday.

    Your service BDC opens the week with the top 20-30 opportunities. Each row has the customer, the vehicle, the declined service, the dollar value, and the reason it's worth chasing now.

  3. Step 3 · Step 3

    Approved outreach becomes a work queue.

    Your fixed-ops director approves the list. v.Agent generates the outreach (text, email, or call list) and tracks who's been contacted. Conversions feed back into the next week's scoring.

  4. Step 4 · Step 4

    Coaching surfaces for systematic decline patterns.

    If a specific advisor's customers decline brake work at 2x the store average, that's coaching opportunity. Vehicle AI surfaces the pattern; you decide how to address it.
