DALLAS, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Car Wars, the leading provider of innovative phone solutions for automotive dealerships, is excited to announce that Cari Scheduler, their AI-powered service scheduling tool, now integrates directly with UpdatePromise, a widely adopted service scheduling and communication platform for franchise dealerships. This new partnership enables dealerships to streamline service scheduling, improve appointment accuracy, and ensure their service operations run smoothly.

Car Wars’ Cari Scheduler is an AI-powered scheduling tool that handles the full service appointment conversation from start to finish, answering calls, booking appointments, processing changes, and managing cancellations without putting anything on an advisor’s plate. Available around the clock and built on CRISP best practices, Cari delivers a consistent, professional experience on every call while keeping service bays filled and advisors focused on the customers in front of them.

This direct integration gives dealerships a real-time connection between Cari and their UpdatePromise platform, meaning appointments are reflected accurately the moment they are booked, changed, or cancelled. There are no middleware layers to manage, no sync delays to account for, and no risk of schedules falling out of alignment.

“UpdatePromise has earned the trust of franchise dealerships across the country,” said Stephane Ferri, CEO at Car Wars. “By integrating Cari directly into that platform, we’re giving dealers a way to automate scheduling without sacrificing the accuracy and reliability their operations depend on.”

“At UpdatePromise, our focus has always been on helping dealerships deliver a faster, more transparent service experience while improving operational performance,” said Curtis Nixon, CEO of UpdatePromise. “Integrating with Cari Scheduler gives dealers the ability to automate appointment scheduling without sacrificing accuracy or control. It’s a powerful combination that reduces friction for both the customer and the service team.”

Dealerships using UpdatePromise will see immediate operational benefits, including:

• Fewer missed or duplicated appointments due to real-time sync
• Better shop capacity management with accurate, up-to-the-minute scheduling data
• Less time spent on manual corrections and follow-up calls
• More customers served without adding headcount

For dealerships operating under OEM scheduling requirements, this integration is particularly significant. The direct integration ensures Cari works seamlessly within those existing mandated workflows — no workarounds, no reconciliation, no gaps.

The integration is available now to all dealers ready to set up Cari Scheduler with UpdatePromise to provide a faster, more reliable way to manage service scheduling and strengthen the customer experience.
