How It Works
"Squealing brakes, 2019 Civic." Right on the dashboard. One field, plain English.
Labor time, parts cost, markup, tax. Calculated from 120+ common repairs. No Googling, no calling parts stores.
Customer gets a text with the price and a secure approval link. They review, sign their name, and approve in seconds. No phone tag, no callbacks.
Estimate approved. Work order created. You’re making money instead of chasing paper.
The Problem
A customer calls about their brakes. You put them on hold. Google the labor time. Call the parts store. Do the math. Call the customer back — they don’t answer. Leave a voicemail. They call back two hours later.
That’s 30–60 minutes of lost bay time per estimate. At $120/hr, that’s $60–120 in lost revenue. Do that five times a day and you’re leaving $300–600 on the table. Every single day.
The big shop software charges $200–400/month and still doesn’t solve this.

Serving Gatineau or Quebec customers? Customer communications comply with Quebec's Law 25 and CASL — consent tracking, STOP handling, and French-language customer pages are built in, not bolted on.
